well folks its been a good two months of denial but i am finally ready to admit that the reason everything sucks is because of major depression relapse. if i werent so depressed id make this everyone elses problem by projecting it on to blorbo but alas
#taylor.txt#incapable of making this not a joke but i do have to say it kinda sucks#like obviously ive never been 100% free of my depression probably on account of it developing when i was a Child and then not getting any#treatment or even really any sympathy for until i was in my late teens but. BUT. even my historic mental breakdown 2 years ago didnt really#feel like depression. like yeah i was sad and hopeless but this is very different. sad and lethargic more so. simply too tired to be lost i#despair. which is i guess a good thing because it means its easier for me to fix. its just that right now im kinda stuck in it#i dont know if id say ive experienced major depression since my first year of uni#thats why ive been denying it all this time despite it being pretty…glaringly obvious#anyway. good news is im meeting with the prof of one of the classes im currently failing this week#and now i guess i kind of have an idea of what to tell her because all this time ive been struggling and i havent understood why#the content makes sense. i understand whats going on. but my memory has gotten so bad recently and the energy required to do my assignments#has been way too much. and im past my limit on that at this point unfortunately. like yeah shes probably gonna tell me well that sucks but#theres nothing i can do to save your grade and thats fine but at least i know even if it was a Me Problem that i let myself get depressed#again in the first place being actively depressed is a major barrier that i at least know isnt 100% me being an idiot with a bad attitude#i will struggle to the finish line but i will make it there. even if i fail a class or two in the process#and regardless of if it gets better i will finally go see my therapist again in the new year </3 something obviously led to this so whos to#say it wouldnt happen again if i just let that fester. whatever it is#also writing has been tough for the same reason school has been tough but its still happening and i will do more of it when school is over#i PROMMY

how would you describe jason's overall vibes and key aesthetics?  do they change a lot over the course of his timeline?  [ and if so, how? ]
theres definitely a Lot of changes over time but also a Lot of overlap
Lab vibes/aesthetics are v self explanatory I think? Hospitals vibes and white tiles, blood stains against pure white and the awful stench of chemicals, water dripping from everything and flames that reach the ceiling, cages and bars and locked doors, an overwhelming feeling of being small
Stranger things timeline generally has general 80s vibes, bright colors and weird patterns, messy hair and chewing gum, turtlenecks and suspenders (both copied from his sister's wardrobe), scraped knees and being covered in dirt, the feeling of being an outcast, a look in his eye thats hauntingly sad, never being quite enough, calling for help and never getting it, hours spent at school and nothing ever making sense, mashed potatoes for almost every meal, footsteps so quiet that no one knows hes there, a childhood thats not quite right, like liminal spaces
modern teen jason is a much happier vibe. bright colors and excited noises, cue cards with animals and letters, fridge magnets in the shapes of letters and numbers that are big and bulky and rainbow colored, messy bedroom where everything is somehow in a specific place, lots of soft toys, giant legos that dont require much fine motor skills, a house that looks like a teenager and a toddler share a room, excitedly showing off what he's learning, hours and hours spent in silence at school but with promising grades, feeling younger and older than everyone else, a fear of anything resembling the lab, flanking science because the class gives him a panic attack, minecraft music on repeat, kids shows in the middle of the night, buying things from infomercials, texts made up of emojis, multiple kinds of therapy multiple times a week, parents with money to burn, sunshine in human form, stealing stiles's clothes
late teen/early young adult arc moves darker again, parties and drinking to feel a little warmth, constantly chasing the next dopamine hit, feeling like hes fitting in but at what cost, pushing away the people he loves, not going to therapy, a strangers house, public bathrooms where the lights barely work, feeling like hes not a real person, failing a few classes even though hes trying, texts with actual words, the realization that sex makes things hurt a little less, at least for a while, a lack of shame one day and an abundance of it the next, so afraid to disappoint that he sabotages any chances of success, frustration beneath the surface, an inability to deal with emotions, anger turning to violence, hurting people because hes hurting, scaring the people who care about him, punching holes in the walls, broken bottles that hadn't been empty
adult jason is nicer. the vibes of recovery, struggling but trying his best, a mirror of his younger self — trying to change his life and his internal processes in a world he struggles to fit into, learning what love is, trying to be better, using his powers for good, aggressively optimistic, back in therapy, helping others, protecting and teaching kids that remind him of himself, desperate to save them from turning into him
battle royale jason is violence, reds and blacks and whites. the vibe of the lab is a comfort rather than a fear, emotions locked away behind glazed over eyes, a boy / a weapon, blind obedience, unaware of anything else. the potential to be a monster but refusal to allow it.
jason in his au with @spiriitum / jonas is consistent softness. gentle touches and tremoring hands, the comfort found only in love, escaping together, helping each other move on, not needing words because they know each other so well, being surrounded by books he can't read, growing into an adult, dependency to a potentially dangerous degree, blood and tied hands and a knight in shining armor, finally getting revenge only to realize you didnt want it, sex that lasts for hours, shameless intimacy, sitting on your lovers lap because you just HAVE to be with them, adjusting to a normal life, becoming the person you needed when you were younger, healing old wounds and trying not to rip them open again, fixing yourself so you can help the love of your life get better, destructive tendencies, long showers, the kind of desperation that only comes from limitless love
in his au with @loverslanetm / travis: feeling small but feeling safe, always running, comparing hand sizes, being the little spoon, the trust to just go along with what happens, being protective but powerless, being carried when walking becomes too much, loving someone so much that you dont care if its dangerous, being the big spoon even though he's the smaller man, diners in the middle of nowhere, driving so long that it feels like you'll never stay still again, watching when you think they don't notice, both too scared to make the first move even though its obvious how they feel
in his au with @shinedied / danny: the feeling of finally having someone who understands you, a dad when you thought you'd never know what thats like, softness when you expect violence, danger around every corner, a small house that looks just like the rest of them, walking through the town center when its empty, always learning, helping each other without knowing it, growing attached immediately, a mental connection thats unmatched, just trying your best when the worlds against you, the fear of failure and the softness of reassurance

to all you scared and stressed high school kids
its okay. when youre out of high school - and you will be - none of it has to matter anymore. the drama, the culture, the toxicity and shitty relationships, the obsession with sports and popularity contests? there will always be bad people, there will always be stupid drama and bad opinions, but... youre gonna have a freedom to walk away from it or at least ignore it that you dont have in high school. you can keep the friends you want to keep with just a little bit of effort, and everything else just... you can choose to not let it matter. i havent seriously thought about high school until today when i was talking to my kid brother.
grades matter but they dont matter as much as everyone says they do. you have so many options besides college, and even if college is your dream goal? so you dont make it into the top ivy league school. thats okay. theres nothing shameful about community college, nothing at all. hell, its almost always so much smarter to go to a community college than blow hundredd of thousands of dollars on something youre not sure about or cant afford.
we live in a culture thats so insanely unhealthily obsessed with grades - where As are the only thing that count for anything. but im in a pretty good college in a fairly good program and yknow what? no one asks what your grades were in high school. nobody. its just... you should work hard, yes, you should put in effort, you should try to learn but hell, yall, its not worth killing yourself over and i p r o m i s e that.
and on that note - a good work ethic is worth so much more than an A. a kid who works hard and gets a C is gonna be happier and healthier in the future than one who gets an A and doesnt try. that kid with an A is gonna enter the world and not know how to do shit. and the kid whos made an effort will roll their sleeves up and figure it out cos thats what theyve been doing their whole life. please please please dont kill yourself over grades i cried myself to death after i got a C in a class once and its mattered literally 0% guys.
ap classes and honors classes or whatever are neat, yes - its cool to be challenged and its cool to learn more and if they get u out of a college class or two thats rad! but they arent the saving grace everyone says they are. theyre slightly harder classes. thats it. they arent god himself coming down to personally raise you above the common masses. if you arent in ap classes youre fine, its okay, its all gonna work out and its no slight against you.
speaking of. the AP test, the SAT, theyre fuckin rigged. they cost so much to take and then rich people have their kids take thousands of dollars worth of classes to raise their scores to get into better classes. literally. my mom was an AP tutor and the amount of money people spend on just a few points is heartbreaking. these tests are one way to measure one kind of ability, and even then the results are skewed as fuck because of socioeconomic differences. if you get a high score thats great! legit, im proud of you. but if you dont... its fine, its okay, i promise you its okay.
i know every situation is different, but... no matter what you do after high school, it can get better. it might take a while. but high school isnt your whole world. theres so much more out there for you and these are only a few years out of a long life. so much good can happen to you! theres a whole world outside of these walls! you just gotta make it through a few years and i am so proud of you.

"Home is where the heart is" I dont have to tell you where that lies. But its only part of the pain. I know in my heart I'm a good person, but my life has been in shambles since I was young. Theres many like me, that dont deserve the life they were given & yet somehow persevere through it just to survive & try to be happy through the pain.
How I ask do I deserve not to be happy. I feel there was no justice for me, I was dishonorably discharged lol. I was truly happy where I was, but even if i were to travel place to place...that is also in my blood, not just the place I resided.
I was at home, I was at peace, I truly loved everyone there & every second. But do I dare go there again, absolutely in a heartbeat. But this is what kills me, Part of me says "this is your life now, accept it, push through even if u can't" the other part of me says that ill be white knighted with a bust through the door like the kool-aid man & he says "sike, yea i fucked it up & didn't realize I had something special, will u forgive me" 😅
But i know that could just be my imagination & im overthinking again. But where actually is my life headed? I have a good heart, i care so much about those thats affected me even in a bad way...but maybe that's God's love showing right through me, because I forgive easy & help those that need it. My brother says that a "helper" is equivalent to a partner in crime & all aspects, a soul mate. He throws the word around with this subject, but he's also trying to find his forever helper which he believes is the mother of his 1st born children. Thats great, given the right circumstances & if her situation was better, yea they could probably try.
For me, caring & trust is my biggest downfall. Because i do so much for others b4 myself, I end up taken advantage of or at least feeling like it. Even if its not the case, the wrong thats been done to me all my life..made me this way. I cant help that. And to find someone that I trusted fully, only to find out that I couldn't. That breaks a person like me down & actually hurts to the core. I didnt deserve that, but it was the disservice that was thrust upon me without a 2nd thought. I wasn't given the proper chance to love someone because they refused to love me back & yea most of the time it was about them...but thats a leo for ya 😅
When someone shares it mutually, everyone wins, you're complete, u have that "helper" you've been longing for all your life. The good times that were shared, the humorous banter, doing something for the other just cuz u can & cuz u want to, showing eachother off to friends & family like "yea thats my babe right there" as if to say they were happy u were there,the best friend & sidekick that everyone needs...it was all gone in a blink of an eye. Leading on my heartstrings, making me fall harder & harder, the friendship to the end even, all for nothing. But because of all the positives, thats what gets me, it's why my pain is so confusing. Why was it all like that if not on purpose whether for a positive reason I have yet to understand, to make it easier for them not to deal without regard for the others feelings, or cause God making me suffer more through it to make me stronger...when I thought I was done with low struggles already.
Idk man, I just dont understand. But because of what my life has been like over the past half of the year, all the positives makes me want more...because I never got all of him in the 1st place. I always wanted more because he held himself back & on purpose. So maybe it did seem like attachment, but only cuz I longed for the same feeling in return & didnt give up trying to find it..literally any sign of it. I was trying to figure his sweet ass out & learn what kind of person he really was lol, so I could accommodate to him more especially in the last weeks I was sweating my ass off 😆 I was dedicated so much I was willing to change what wasn't liked on the outside. Like I wanted to do so much to keep the best thing i had, cause deep down I knew his old feelings fizzled out quick & I just didnt understand & I still dont. I mean I guess I understand if he wasn't ready for a commitment? And that's fine, but he committed b4 & when I was brought there. What is it that was so wrong about me, that negative thoughts festered so much about someone it makes u think someone else is the problem, when its not the case at all.
Theres nothing i can think of, nothing else i could've done to show my worth, that I wasn't a waste of time. Maybe I pushed too hard? But in those last few weeks I gave space & focused on myself & my tasks at hand with so much more effort to have some kind of a chance, to save what was precious to me..save someone else that couldn't rise up on their own. & i blew it somehow. I was told i settled, but that was the point from the beginning that we both agreed upon. I think it was just that the other was getting comfortable with someone around & it scared em..to where they couldn't do all they wanted in life along with dealing with someone else at the same time. Or possibly felt 1 or the other wasnt good enough for the other & felt inadequate or unequiped. And searching for someone else to fill a void they already had at home, thats another thing that befuddles me. The last time I saw him, it didn't look or sound like he cared, avoided eye contact til he drove off & my heart sank even more as I knew it might be the last time I ever saw him. I was too pissed & in the heat of the moment flipped him off til he was out of sight, but after...i wanted to die right then & there but my best friend was there & we were on a deadline just as he was. If I were alone & my friend wasn't there, I'd be sobbing in that parking lot for hours til someone found me.
They, he, had it all but lost it due to their own negligence, in my opinion.
I mean come on whats not to like about me that didn't go hand in hand with what they were searching for.
The perfect heritage to match his (Templin Germany the 7th largest region) with some jew blood, same interests & hobbys, outlook on life, the lucky number, a good & gentle soul with a love for God. Passion for travel, soft spot for bald eagles, the dream of becoming a parent 1 day, intellectually & gamer gifted, both loves BLT sandwiches...because i da snack too 😏, both have the same middle name but spelled differently & 30yr olds with same hs class year, I have 3 hansome brothers & he has 3 beautiful sisters. I mean Dafuq? Lol. We're total opposites & literally residing NE to SW of the country, 1 grew up well the other not so much...yet we still were able to find eachother....somehow? Bro how about u try the other half of the yr here, 6 month equivalent & finish 2020 the right way huh lol BET 😂 oh man. A girl can dream though can't she?
I have a college writing level & training in business, musical theater, massage therapy (which was the fav), veterinary tech college training in hs, 7 years of choir under my belt since 5th grade including after hs in multiple churches & my choir teachers wedding. I Iove animals, likes to paint, great with technology, listen to music & sing along to every word almost exact, family oriented, a gaming & content creating wizard, passion for helping people, can organize & clean the shit out of anything, can be the boss when i feel the need as well as the spunk & charisma to push forward at any given task. I can multitask & can get shit done if I set my mind to it, if there's something or someone I need to feel purpose to be my best self, yea & if I'm accepted, that's purpose enough right there to get my ass moving.
Yea, jumbling alot of shit in my early life made me crack under the pressure but only cuz i really went over the top & burnt out. But ive relaxed alot since then & am treated for my ailments, ive learned to do things to pace myself now to prevent a psychosis from ever happen again.
Ive said this b4, there was 1 other that also broke up with me...1st time it ever happened the other way around mind u, was also a Leo.. shocker lol. After only 3 months & of me saying the L word too quick...it was what finally broke me, what added ontop of everything else. I was living in my own apt since hs & after school a yr later at 19..he lived in the same apt complex & worked where i did. We hit it off really well & loved talking to eachother at work, almost the same humorous & smart personality with a passion for gaming, dead ass great driver, skinny & ample where it counted, & yea also a weed enthusiast 😅 all of it pretty much the same as the recent one in my life. Honestly thinking about it now they probably would've been great friends lol. Thomas was his name, but I was in a relationship at the time of meeting him as well. But I didn't pursue anything til that relationship blew up in my face just cuz my current bf's grandfather was my boss & saw how well Thomas & i got along as friends, associated it with cheating, & that was that. Tom could be mine after all lol, chips fell into place on their own after he professed his feelings to me on his MySpace blog so damn smoothly lol 😂 Saying there was a girl he liked, i commented on it, he asked me out, that was trap lol, but it worked lol. The chemistry was 🔥
But yea, we had alot fun together & he was completely chill with me. But after it ended it set something off in me. Ended up in a psych ward for 2-3 weeks, little did I know he was worried sick & had no idea where i was or how to visit. I wasnt allowed to have my phone but the persons number I knew by heart, was the previous guy b4 tom, the chubby aloof dumbass that was my 1st love lol. Tom hated him with a passion cuz this dude wasn't a man that treated me fairly, pushed onto me by his family for me to take care of, shelter & feed him mooching off of me & taking advantage of a comfortable place to live at 1 point. When i was in the hospital, my 1st was the 1 to pick me up. When I got back from the hospital I learned of how tom was worried & he gave me a big hug. But by that point I was back with the 1st...somehow that happened & I actually don't remember what brought it on cuz my memory throughtout those weeks was dowsed in medication...but Thomas was the one heartbroken instead of me this time cuz he actually did want me back, the fact I took this other guy back over him, a person he despised...was terrible to him & he severed all ties, moved away. He broke up with me, technically it was okay as so i thought to see someone else regardless if it was an ex or not. i didn't know I had another chance at all.
But anyway, the difference between the 2 leo Ts, 1 let me in completely, cared about me as much as i did for him in same way & the L word too soon is what did it in for him after 3 months 🤷‍♀️ The other T well..unfortunately 1 sided for the most part despite how well we clicked, i was faithful & the other tried not to be after 3 months & hid things due to his own insecurities, pulling me along for another 3months when I didn't have to do jack for him at all after that point, but I did. I might've said the L word too soon with him as well idk. But because I'm a different person than I was then, there's no psychotic break...its just the depressed feeling of defeat with the mix of the longing i still have for him.
Wtf is it with T names & the number 3!? ffs! 😫 Briana Leigh Templin BLT, Bri Loves...whoever Tfuk 🤣
I cant write anymore today, I gotta leave tomorrow. My brother wants me to work for him instead & make more money, in a team that would be like in an office space, basically an assistant but making calls & checking in with clients within his real estate, solar, etc businesses.
But idk, I just got my foot in the door with something else. If I let go of that, for something that could or could not be bad for me, then what do I do? Neither of them sound any less stressful, bryans idea however earns more money & would have me dealing with stuff I like to do in regards to skills maybe? Idk man, idk. It'd a tough call.
My point in writing this, nothing accept to show how much I thought he was perfect for me, just as he originally thought about me. These are all thoughts going through my mind, get them out of my head. To talk openly the way I am, its therapeutic. But I miss him so damn much, not sure when this feeling will go away. I still love him & even dare I say trust him,even through his lying ass faults & idk why, i shouldn't but i do...thats the powerful effect he had on me. Still waiting on the last promise to be friends, im giving space, venting here instead of to him cuz i wouldn't want to be that much of an annoyance. I was going to include more but it'd be dark & negative,& im not about outing the worst in people especially if he was a good guy for the most part...no that wouldn't be right, probably deserves it to be honest..but no. I still wanna do right by him. That's all for now

METANOIA CHAPTER 4
The snow outside latched onto my attention leaving no room for the lesson that Sensei was currently finishing up. Maybe it was because I had already spent so long in school before this but I just couldn't pay attention no matter how hard i tried. Something always seemed to be more interesting then what we were learning about, the snow outside, the icicles on the windows edge, the sound of the wind. No matter what it was it seemed more worthwhile to focus on everything and anything else, even though i knew it was wrong. I was stuck here knowledge should be the most important thing to me right now. I should, I should be focusing on these lessons, learning more in the hopes that I would find a way to save myself from a life of fighting. Trying to find a way back to my life or something! But i just can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. It hurts, it's a numbing type of pain that feels like a dull throb in the back of my head and the repeated crushing and inflation of my heart. But wait, I don't have a heart anymore, I don't have a brain anymore, I can't feel pain, I can't, I can't I can't I can't I can't. I can't feel anything. I can't see anything. I can't hear anything. I can't do anything. I want to leave, I want to go home, I want, I want, I want.
But i don't do anything. I want and I want and I want, but i can't. Whats the point of wanting if i can't do anything. Even now my emotions feel hollow like it's a show that I'm putting on for attention, but who is it a show for? Who, who, who, I'm actually upset so why do I feel like this, why does it all feel like a show, why, why, why, why, why!
A rustle, then a thud.
Paper work, the writing and minor reading practice that we're supposed to complete by the next class. It's sitting in front of me. I need to do it. Pick up the pen beside me and complete it now. If i don't it will never get done. But it feels like my arms weigh tons from where they rest I don't want to lift my head up off them, I can't. They weigh too much, it's like they're tied down with invisible weights. Drowning in the sea of my emotions, thrown away from the surface of the water by the storm of my regrets. Phosphophyllite looked over, patted my head, perhaps something they had seen Sensei do to Antarcticite. They looked at me expectantly. Maybe they thought this was some kind of cure-all. It wasn't that was for sure but, it did remind me that there were others near me. Phos directly to my left and Sensei having just walked though the doorway, most likely heading off to meditate.
"UGH" I threw my head back and pushed myself away from the table, resting my open hands on the edge allowing for better support to the two back legs of the chair I was sitting on. Phos started out me letting out a grunt of their own before trying to copy my position. You know when teachers told stories about kids falling back and cracking their skulls open from leaning back i always thought it was stupid. But now as I'm watching Phos lean back way too far I can understand exactly why they always went to the extreme to warn kids against sitting like that.
My legs were moving before i registered what i was doing or had a concrete chance to think about a plan. I fell to the ground right under Phos and lifted my arms up in the hopes that I could catch them instead of pad their fall. Unfortunately there were two things I hadn't accounted for. One, gems crack when they come into contact with something harder and, two I was harder than Phosphophyllite, my hardness was 6 theirs 3.5 even if i caught them now they would shatter. And that was exactly what happened.
I felt before I saw and I saw before I heard.
Phos or rather their arms were in my hands which had closed and tried to hold them up on instinct. Their arms had snapped off immediately in a visual that i can only describe as oddly gruesome for someone who doesn't have blood nor bones or guts it was still somehow scarily beautiful. The clink that accompanied the visual came milliseconds after but the pause in between felt stretched to a distorted amount. Like when you were writing with a pencil in grade school and realized that the words came before the noise of the writing itself. The look on their face as their head smashed into my lap was something I missed my mind laser focused on the arms that were now firmly in my grasp. Here I am with my friends? could i even call them a friend? Someone who I'm close with arms in my hands while their head plummeted into my lap.
I felt before I saw and I saw before I heard
There was extra weight on my lap instead of the usual smoothness that one would expect of a carved gem i was met with sharp, rough shards of Phos' head all of different sizes and shapes. The sound of the actual shattering came hours after. The silence, no loudness of it, it overloaded me. One of Phos' eyes rolled so that it was looking up at me having been freed from the socket when they crashed down into me. I stared at it, and stared and stared and stared it wouldn't look away, it wouldn't go away, it was there it was staring just the same as i was, I, I, I, I, I, I CAN'T, I CAN'T MOVE I CAN'T ASK FOR HELP. I WANT TO BUT I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T!
A scream found its way up and through my throat, out into the echoing through the school, getting stuck in the walls clinging to the insides of my ears. The crack on my shoulder seemed to shudder readying itself to further spread across my shoulder when-
"What are you screaming for!" Antarcticite rushed into the room, their expression a controlled level of concern. Lifting my eyes to meet theirs I mumbled out "Phosphophyllite..." I was too scared to say anymore, I couldn't say anymore. My throat closing in and constricting on itself as I sat there with Phos' shattered head in my lap, death grip further damaging their arms. Antarcticite looked at Phos then back to me, "This is common for someone with such a low hardness, if you're worried instead of sitting around screaming waiting for help, be the help Phosphohyllite needs." They walked over step by step inch by inch, click, clack, click, clack. "Open your hands give me his arms." Shakily I raised my hands up towards where Antarcticite stood over us. My hands unwilling to let go until they unfurled my fingers from Phos' arms. "I'm going to take these to the infirmary, I'll come back with something to pick his head and body up with. Until the stay right here." Letting out a noise of approval I looked back down to Phos. Antarcticite walking away, step by step, inch by inch, click, clack, click, clack.
Is this how that person felt when they watched me die? I'm so so so so sorry to them if thats the case, which it most likely was. Then I had made them feel this. This, this ugly symphony of emotions that tore at the hear and berated the mind. Theres so, theres so, much pain accompanied by it. Phos wasn't even dead I knew that, I know that but it was still so scary, to see the person I've spent the most amount of time with sense all of this started, to see them crumble just because I touched them, just because they tried to copy me, because of me, it hurt. It stung, it burned, it seared, it bubbled out of my heart and up my throat, if gems were capable of eating at this very moment I would've thrown up everything i had ever eaten in a painfully disgusting mix of bile and emotion. I want to reach out to caress Phos' head, or rather whats left of it. But they would break then be ground into dust, just like all the gems that were taken to the moon. The moon, the moon, the moon, perhaps that was the best example of ignorance is bliss. Thinking back to the Manga panels, to the frames in the anime there were so many times that Phos ended up like this, no, there are going to be so many times in the future where Phos ends up like this. Shattered, broken to pieces, waiting for someone to stitch them back together, losing another part of themselves in the process. Quite literally. I never wanted to see, i never wanted to hear, I never wanted Phos to experience something like this again. And, if all went according to the story then they would experience this and so much worse so often in the future. I don't want that. I can't accept that. I know whats going to happen, I know how to stop Phos from losing themselves. I can save them!
But, is that really whats right? Is it really ok for me to stop Phos from finding everything out? To have them live a life filled with nothing but thinly veiled lies wrapped up in half truths and complacency? Had gems ever asked about Sensei before? If they did were they granted an answer? Who cares about any of that. Sitting here wondering what if, did this, how about, instead of that, instead of asking pointless questions that all revolve around morals I'll make a decision based on mine. I couldn't care less. I wont stop Phos from going down the path of finding the truth if thats what they choose but, I will stop them from destroying themselves and others in the process. If Phos wants to go off to the moon I'll let them, hell I might even go with them! But I wont force their hand, unless I think it would be a danger to their own mental state. At the very least thats fine right? Something like that, it's the least I can do. Isn't it?
Click, clack, click, clack. Antarcticite was back black duffel bag, (is that a duffel bag? it looks more like a body bag.) in hand. "Put these on," A pair of black gloves was handed to me. "And help me pick him up." Sliding the fabric through my fingers i carefully brought one glove up and onto the tips of my fingers, sliding them in i wondered if something this thin would really stop me from breaking Phos anymore then I already had. "Stop staring at your hands and get to work." Nodding I quickly slid the glove onto my right hand as well and looked down to Phos' head in my lap. Picking up a shard, I placed it into the bag right where Antarcticite told me to.
It took a while to gather all the shards and move into the infirmary where Sensei was waiting, salve and tools ready to go. The sun was just barely still visible over or rather under the horizon. Shifting in place for what had to be nearing if not already past the hundredth time I asked "Are they done yet?" I heard Antarcticite let out a grunt behind me before they walked over to Sensei speaking about returning winter records to the library or something of the sort. After nodding and patting Antarcticite's head Sensei turned to me and said
"Phosphophyllite is nearly done being repaired. Why don't you go fix up your room so that they do not break in the middle of the night while you wait?" Somehow it felt embarrassing to know that Sensei knew about Phos and I's rooms sharing, despite the fact that it wasn't necessarily privet or a secret of any kind. "Yeah ok, i guess." lifting my body with my hands I placed my feet on the ground and turned away from the work table ready to go and make my (our?) bed. I guess it would be convenient to have it already done instead of having to redo it every night. Just as I passed through the doorway I turned to look back at Sensei and Phos one more time before turning around and walking away.
That night Phos seemed particularly attached. It scares me if I'm going to be utterly honest it scared me. Just a few hours ago they were in pieces from me. Broken and as far as they knew never to wake up again. Curling further into myself i folded my legs in half, bringing them up so that my body formed a ninety degree angle my hands resting in between my thighs. The sheets that separate us were much thicker tonight, I had gone into Phosphophyllite's room and used their sheets as an extra layer of padding. Phos raised their hand up slowly watching me as I focused on it. How it slowly glided through the air, how they brought it down onto my side where the padding was just thick enough that it still provided a sense of reassurance that they wouldn't crumble away while also allowing me to feel the small pats that came after it laid there for a few seconds. "Don't worry Hecatolite. I won't break just from being around you." They shifted so that their eyes were on level with mine rather than the top of their head. "You heard what Sensei said earlier, as long as were careful and I don't come into direct forceful contact with you I wont break. So stop looking at me like that." A smile graced their features, pulling their mouth open in a wide show of their sincerity. "Ehe I sounded as grown up as Antarcticite just now didn't I? Go ahead tell me about how cool I sounded." A smile of my own tugged at my lips. I can't say that it was as wide or as bright as Phos' was in this moment but it was true.
"Yeah you were super cool just now Phos, totally grown up." Quirking one of their eyebrows they mumbled something under their breath before shifting their eyes down to the sheets their eyes flitted between me and the sheets for a few seconds their face getting more confused by the second. Lost I wondered just what they were so confused over I ran over my rather short sentence in my mind trying to find anything wrong with it. Just as I was about to ask Phos spoke up.
"My names Phosphophyllite not Phos. Whose Phos anyway?" Their face was pinched together while they looked at me the confusion on their face ten times funnier than it really should've been now. As much as I tried to hold it in I burst out laughing. Phos' face mixing into confusion, shock (or was it wonder? I really can't tell the difference) it only just made me laugh harder. Of course Phosphophyllite didn't know about their own nickname they hadn't received yet. Wait would I have to explain the concept of nicknames to them? Geez this is, this is a bit much. I'm surprised that my sides don't hurt from all the laughing I've done.
"Phos is short for Phosphophyllite. Phosphophyllite is a rather long and hard name to say huh? That's why I called you Phos, it's a nickname of sorts. Wait do you even know what a nickname is?" Phos' cheeks filled with air at that the pouty expression they so often wore in the early stages of their story showing up here in front of me. It was so cute if it wasn't for the differences in our hardness I would've reached out and pinched their cheeks.
"Of course I know what a nickname is! Antarcticite told us about them. Just how dumb do you think I am?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?' They brought their hand down on my side harder in a mock hit.
"Stoooop," A hit "taaalking" another hit "right.now.please." Each word marked by its own strike.
"Yes, yes, I wouldn't want you to break again from hitting me." I purposely drew out my yes' enjoying the way Phos' face contorted to further express their displeasure at my answer.
"I said stop talking, whatever, good night." They turned away from me the tips of the hills of their cheeks the only part I was still able to see of their face. Watching as they slowly deflated I returned Phos' earlier gesture and patted their side.
"Yeah goodnight Phos."
I shifted once again burring my face into the sheets under me. Now, even though I wasn't sure how, I knew in my mind that I wanted to protect this person. Even if they went to the moon. Even if they wanted to uncover the truths of this world by taking a path different to the one in the manga, I want to protect Phosphophyllite the person they are, their mental health, every part of them. I wanted to protect them. I will protect them. I can't say currently that I will do so at the expense of my life but, I can say that I will try my hardest to.

Health Insurance - too expensive - should I ditch it and will it get cheaper in 2014?

Possible cancer without insurance?
My fiance has a visible tumor (it's visible--it was benign and removed before but came back). He lost his health insurance a couple years ago, and he seems to only be progressively be getting sicker (we don't know if it's because it's a cancerous tumor or his stress levels are insanely high). Either way, he obviously needs to see a doctor--but we have no insurance and we don't make enough to afford insurance (we might make little enough to qualify for medicaid--for this question, assume we do). My question is, what options does he have? We can't afford treatment. He doesn't want to go to a doctor w/o insurance because they won't help him since he can't pay and he will lose the job he has and what little he does make. Please, are there special programs? I know his condition does not qualify for the fast SSI claims as I looked into that already. Would medicaid be enough? Are there special cancer programs? Is there anything? Or is he really going to be left to die? He's only 26. Also, we live in Colorado (since that might make a difference).""

How can I get affordable health insurance for my mother and I?
I am 22 years old and my mother is 57. While she was working, her job for the state had a very good health insurance which would cover me and her until I turned 25. However, her eye sight has started to go out on her and she could no longer do her job. She now works part time as a vendor for a brand of dog food, as that is the only job she could get in today's economy with her failing health. I am in college with a meager part time job. Medically, there is nothing wrong with me yet, but there have been times earlier this year where I got so sick that I felt like I was going to die, but no hospital or clinic would see me for less than $300, even though I knew I just needed some antibiotics. It's insane. I could not afford that. I am in college partly so that I can graduate, get a good job, and help my mother retire and live in good health. She needs to see a specialist, and at the crappy free hospitals, she has been waiting in line since January, and is not expected to see her doctor until December. I want to try and get us both affordable health care. Her, because she needs to see a doctor more often to have her medicine regulated, and me because whenever I get a viral infection, I don't want to lay in bed for a week until I'm able to buy antibiotics off of the black market. And I don't want this crappy healthcare system to kill my mom while she waits months for treatment she needs now. Does anyone have any idea where I can look?""

What are short-term life insurance needs?
I currently have a 5 year term life insurance policy with State Farm and I was wondering if it were possible for me to make a withdrawl or loan from this policy. I researched this some and on some websites it said it wasn't possible; however whenever I look on State Farms website it says the below: The State Farm 5 Year Term policy provides affordable life insurance protection for a five year period and is renewable for subsequent 5-year periods until age 85 (age 80 in NY). It is great for covering any short-term life insurance needs you may have. Short-term life insurance needs may include such things as: * Car loan * College tuition * Home equity loan * Mortgage loan * Business loan * Student loan * Key employee Term insurance may also be appropriate when your life insurance needs are great but your budget is tight. Does this mean I can make a withdrawal so that I can pay off my student loans? Also, it seems that my policy has ended in December; however, I was still charged this month. The policy started in 2005.""

Me tho
When I’m confused, I write. And Ill just say, the last four months of my life have been the most confusing yet. I don’t know why exactly I’m writing you. I discovered in the tiny English section of my neighborhood library, only the Harry Potter series, wonder ( Ive read it 3 times now) and 2 of your books. I read them both in a week. I don’t know why I wrote you. I probably would have written a favorite musician of mine ( z.B John Darnielle or Sam Beam) but I am honestly just to scared to. Don’t take this the wrong way, because your books are great and I think you’re a cool person, but I just felt like you were more aproachable. I don’t really care what you think about me, ( although then again, I’m not really supposed to care what anyone thinks about me, now am I?) and when I read in your book about one of the charecters listening to The Mountain Goats, I felt like I had a connection with you ( even though there is probably like 800,000 TMG fans ). Also, side note, when I first picked up one of your books, when I was younger, like 8, I thought you ( the author of the book) were John Darielle because my dad said he wrote a book too, and your picture looked kinda similar to what I imagined JD would look like ( isn’t it funny how we picture what singers and authors look like based on their work? Or maybe its just me that does that). Anywho, I needed to write down all my thoughts and I though you were as good a person as anyone ( that phrase feels strange to write, like its grammatically incorrect or something, and maybe it is my English is a tiny bit rusty) to bear my soul to. I would have preferred to write a letter because I have been reading way to much of my boy JD ( Salinger, oh gosh that was cringe I hope I don’t actually send this), but I guess ill save the trees cause I didn’t want to ask google what your adresse is, cause that feels creepy. Me on your books and such- I read The Fault In Our Stars when I was what, 11? Good writing, but I’m not really a romance girl. But I really do dig your writing style, and just your references  ( z.B The Mountain Goats, random German words).  Alright, I guess I should start with the sitch. Im currently going to a school where I understand about 40 percent of whats happening ( its auf Deutsch). Im thirteen, and this was self inflicted. I currently live with my aunt. I miss my family. I miss California. I miss English. But thats fine, I’m figuring it out and there is one nice girl, and I like the challenge. The real issue is my exisential crisis I’m going through. I guess Ill best demonstrate by quoting something I wrote while watching the sun set from my favorite spot in my town ( oh gosh I sound like such an insufferable academic who thinks every word out of their mouth it pure poetry. I feel like the exact kind of person Franny hated ( Franny from Franny and Zooey JD Salinger) „ I hope my dying speech is mundane. A truth, true testament to the days where the boring collect ( Reference to New York I Love You But Your Bringing Me Down, by LCD soundsystem) I hope when the last breath leaves me, I mumble „  oh what a wonder, oh what a waste“ ( Reference to Avant Gardener by Courtney Barnett). I hope the words I spin stand idly, unused. I hope my books burn to the ground, till they are nothing but ashes of letters and lies, not leaving any solid thing standing. I hope the music they play on my death bed is soft and silly. I hope it has no climax, just an end. I wish I could sit on this bench and think of nothing at all, besides the dusky sky and the biting cold. I hope all grand romantic gestures are put on hold, till the plain nothing suffices to bring tears to our cursed smote filled eyes. I hope in my trail, testament, and plead, I have nothing other to say then „Es tut mir leid“ I hope I have on more lesson to be learned.  I hope my words die on my lips, the tales go silent in my head. I hope n my dying speech, I have nothing at all to say“. Im just unsure, confusedAbout how there can be so many people, ideas and opinions on this earth. Confused why we don’t have all the answers. Confused about my existence. I feel like you are a safe person, not close to me, but not so far either, to just pour out my soul to ( sorry if your not religious cause I’m mormon ( this might sound like an oxymoron, but I also 100% support the LGBTQ+ community, and I disagree completely with the mormon church on that point) and I believe, or at least some times I believe, that God exists). When I moved here , I thought there would be like this giant difference, like my life would be changed, but it wasn’t. It has been weirdly the same. I thought that because I had never been through a life changing experience, that there are such things, just based on circumstance alone, but know I think that us humans are pretty much the same no matter who we are, where we live, or our life experience. I think that what we tell ourselves becomes ourselves. I tell myself ( Im just being completely honest. I feel like I have never actually been completely honest with anyone, so id like to start here, so forgive me when I sound like an awful arrogant person right here, cause in my head, I kind of am) that I am smart, that I am a quick learner, that Im hard working, that I notice things that others don’t, that there are so many things going on in my head that no one could even start to guess about. I look down on girls that listen to Katy Perry and like Starbucks frappicinos. But deep, somewhere behind all the words I tell myself, the comforting familiar lies of my frontal continous, I know I’m wrong. I think that its so hard for us as humans to actually realize that there are other people. Oh, sure, we say we do. We are mindful ‚of other people‘ we do service, write kind letters, finish the dishes, ‚for other people‘ but do we really? Ive heard about the important time in childhood development where kids realize that there other people with feelings and thoughts just like them, but I feel like we spend our whole life learning that lesson over and over again. Also, regarding these words we tell ourselves over and over again. The things we say that our life should be, the people we are. A couple years ago in 5th grade, we learned how to write memoirs ( why fifth graders are learning how to is beyond me) and our teacher likened the first paragraph to the beginning of a show, and the last as the ending, you know the ones that sum it all up and wrap it like a nice bow, where the character learns a lesson and that is that and they’ve made their decision and it all makes sense. I think we try to do this with are lives. We look at the things we do, what happens and how we react, and we tell ourselves things based on them. We tie in a quote or two that we feel hold true to our story that we tell ourselves, and bam theres our life. But these collages of the parts of our lives, ourselves, that we like, can’t contain all of us. We can’t fit in the pages of the book we write, because we were not born of words. We were born of something so much older and more primeval. We were before words were, yet we act like words make us. In one of my favorite books of all time in the universe ever, Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis ( heres a quick summary: its the tale of cupid and psych, told by the older sisters pov. Psych is born and is a beautiful thing of perfection, and the goddess ungit ( in greek Aphrodite) is jealous of her, and therefore psych must be sacrificed/ made bride two the beast/ god of grey mountain ( in greek cupid) Oral, the protagonist, is so torn when her sister goes. She visits her sister and cannot see her castle from the god, and thus thinks she’s gone made. She convinces her sister to break the gods rules ( for oral is sure its not a god but a monster or a thief tricking the delusional girl, and that the girl is imagining a palace) and look upon his face, and is thus banished and forced to do impossible tasks. The whole book is written as a complaint against the gods, saying that if the gods could just reveal themselves plainly then none of this would ever happen.) At the end of the book, when oral is reading her complaint against the gods to the actual gods, she takes her book to read, and realizes it is not the ‚beautiful book‘ she was writing but instead a vicious rambling. And she realizes that this is her ‚ real voice‘. ( sorry the quotes are weird I’m writing this on a European computer) „When the time comes to you at which you will be forced to at last utter the speech which has lain  at the centre of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot like, been saying over and over… Till that word can be dug out of us why should they (the gods) here the bable that we think we mean? How can we meet them face to face, till we have faces?“ ( 295).  Her big revelation, her eureka moment, is that the words we build our lives around, the stories we tell and are, are nothing but a vicious confusion made by humans, because we are scared of what lies beyond words. And my question is, then, as someone who loves writing and reading and who lives on words, what is there after them? Silence and god? I am to afraid, as it is right now, to give up words. But somewhere, deep inside me, past all the words, I know the only way I will ever be able to take off the mask of words I have made to protect myself, the only way I will truly find out who any of us are, is by letting go of these stories, by telling god, I am yours for the taking, show me what you will. But for know, I am to afraid, so I guess I will just keep living the life I have written on paper. I guess Ill just keep living my paper life. Confused and thankful, Mia Call PSA playlist of my current mood. Do you know any of these guys?
