But if she fled, she would never see him again, and she may never again meet anyone else like him.

Decided to listen to Carolina on repeat in preparation for TTPD, and remembered when an anon came to tell me it’s just about a movie and to not try to make it about Taylor’s life, and then Taylor wrote a song called Guilty as Sin?

I've request if you're open.
What about whumpee who tried to escape their kidnapper and was cornered as he reached the edge of the cliff with lake at the bottom, they was left with no choice but to jump or they're going back to the kidnapper.
Their legs feel like they are about to give up. Whumpee has been running without looking back once, hoping to get as much distance between them and whumper as they can.
Their lungs feel like they are about to collapse, their breathing is still far too fast as they hurry and limp further and further away from their tormentor.
Whumper has had them in their hands for God knows how long, whumpee doesn't even know the time that has passed since they have been taken. They just know the pain that awaits them if they stop.
So they run and run ... and run.
But they weren't fast enough.
Whumper's voice echoes through the night and approaches them with too much speed for whumpee to handle. Their body is too exhausted and injured to keep the speed it needs to run whumper out and the tears of realisation obscure their vision.
When whumper catches up to them, whumpee finds themselves at the edge of a cliff, wind pushing them closer and closer to an inevitable end.
It's not as high as they thought it was, but it is still a dead end. The lake at the bottom is like an endless void, a black nothingness that consumes every bit of light and hope whumpee had.
As they hear whumper come closer and closer they realise it's either jumping or going back ... and they know that they don't want to go back to this nightmare.
Whumpee takes a few deep breaths and looks down into the darkness of the water of the lake, heart racing against their chest. Even if they die ... even if they don't survive the fall ... it's better than going back.
So whumpee takes their fate into their own, shaking hands and jumps from the cliff, the fall taking longer than they expected. When they hit the ice cold water, they feel a sharp pain go through their body, cold water swallowing them.
They are surrounded by darkness, consumed by the void. And yet ... they live.

Thoughts On Leaving Texas Before I Leave Texas
Tumblr media
I'm moving, I've lived in Texas since I was 5 years old, for almost my whole living memory I called Texas my home, a few different cities but I've been in Texas for a long time, 26 years. There is a lot of things I really liked about living in Texas but now it's time to go. Money wise it's gonna be rough but for my health, for my fiancé's health, for our future we have to leave. My Fiancé got a job up north and so we're going in December or November and leaving behind our long time home.
Texas has become an increasingly terrible place to live, before we even talk about like the direct political threat to my life we need to talk about the threat to everyone's life that is Climate Change and Texas's shit energy grid. Every single winter we have to worry if we'll lose energy for days maybe weeks and if people will literally die freezing due to the failing of Texas thanks to attempts at further privatization they had done. This is getting to the point that things are getting too hot too and the energy grid is under threat now like half the year where people are asking to conserve energy lest we all literally die if the power grid broke down. I hate having to worry that I might get my power shut down random for a few hours or worse case a few days. It is not good for my little neurodiverse brain to have something like that looming over my day as I get yet another warning about conserving energy or just see that the weather is getting to the
Now we can talk about the threats to mine and my loved ones life currently ongoing in Texas. The lack of abortion rights is an active health risk for my family. The constant threat of removing HRT from people is a threat not just to me but to my Fiancé who was considering starting T for a long time now. The removal of queer books and trans women from public spaces doubly effect me as a trans woman and writer removing spaces where I could potentially do public appearances and places I could share my work inside my own community. Not to mention it also just sucks that all the cool public resources, aka libraries could be stripped of queer books, many of which my Fiancé was an active part in getting into the system when they worked there. I pass really well, literally haven't been misgendered in years but a bathroom ban still raises threats to me. Generally the public environment while not as bad in this city always has to have me at least a little bit on guard for fear for my life for being trans but also for being in a queer relationship openly and publicly.
So ya, I feel like I have to go, I do want to go but I wanted to go at my own pace, like I wanted to take the time to wait until we got the right job in the right city, till we were sure we could be living somewhere we could put roots in but that's not what we're doing, we are leaving because we need to be somewhere safer and somewhere better even if it isn't our first choice.
I am excited to move, stressed about the money and about actually moving and I suffer from really bad separation anxiety and get attached to places so I know I will probably spend the week we move balling my eyes out even if I am otherwise emotionally okay but I am excited. The era isn't too far from some friends and since I moved to a new city in Texas I haven't really had any friends who weren't like my Fiancé's friend that I was hanging out with also. Being in a more queer community should be nice and I should be close to some nice spots living more directly in the city. I think I will love a lot of it but also that I will utterly hate the colder months because I like it warm and I hate it cold but to be fair Texas has got a ton colder and our homes aren't built for the cold so I don't actually imagine days in will feel much different.
I mostly feel really positive about everything but from now till I move I am gonna try and hustle and see if I can't get some more gigs or something to take the load of expense off our savings. If you enjoy my work let me know and let other people know you do and that is a great way to help me make more cash money. Thank you for raeding.

I would have to move out of this horrible house immediately. I could never comprehend how someone could continue to live in a place where a loved one had died.
