i feel like we dont talk enough about how distressing and disturbing memory loss issues are. forgetting what you were talking about halfway through a sentence, putting something down and instantly forgetting where you put it. having to reread one paragraph over and over again because by the time youve moved onto the next sentence you dont remember what the one before it said. always doubting if your memories of things are real, not being able to remember important life events.
its so incredibly scary, it feels like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you and you start to doubt whats real and what isnt.
“i forgot” is treated like a lazy excuse when it’s genuinely such a big issue for so many people.

So on top of dealing with being sick from post covid symptoms in the last year, I lost my mother 8 months ago after being her caregiver for a longtime. Even though she was sick mentally, physically including parkinsons for a while, the way we lost her was really awful and kind of traumatising. There's a lot to unpack with therapy but I'm trying to work through it every day. I'm trying to find small ways to keep her with me and embrace some of the things she loved. One of the things she really, really loved was the show Criminal Minds. She watched every single episode and would pretty much reiterate ever one to me (it was kind of annoying sometimes to be honest lol). Especially her love for the character Spencer Reid and his storyline with his mother. I know almost everything about his characters back story despite never ever watching it. She use to try to get me to watch it with her constantly, but I was either busy or watching something else. Even though I know I shouldn't feel guilty because I did spend a lot of time with her every day and being a parents caregiver is a very tough thing. A big part of my life was basically being a mother to my own mother. Which is a heavy thing on your heart, soul even when no one is to blame. I don't miss my ill mother, she wasn't easy because living with serious illness sometimes changes a person. I do miss my mother, my real mother who was beautiful, funny and so smart every day. And even the things she loved. So a week or so ago I started binging the show so maybe I could find out why she loved it. I'm on the tail end of season 3 and really enjoying it. I'm sorry I never got to enjoy it with her, I know she would have loved discussing each episode during commercials. And fine, mom my neurodivergent butt likes Reid too ok?
❤❤❤❤❤

omg sparrow fur just got confirmed to become the second leader of skyclan
Ok, that's good. I'll have to think of how to go foward from here.
If Sparrow Heart had died before taking leadership, I was going to write that as her being INFURIATED by it. Remembered forever as Skystar's stooge, his general, his loyal servant, but never having power of her own. And, generations later, she'd grab for it in any way possible.
With her being Sparrowstar, I'm going to keep her ambition and desire for power, but she had a chance to enact her vision in life. She was the first cat to inherit 9 lives, even, with how BB!Skystar is the first leader to die. She continued his "legacy," not out of any actual love or respect to him, but because it's HER TURN.
All these years of groveling, of having to bend and bargain around the desire of stronger cats, now it's HERS. She is the one who bargains, who makes others grovel. No one will make her scared and powerless ever again.
It's going to continue the ferocious rivalry between SkyClan and ThunderClan, especially as Owlstar takes power. Sparrowstar is definitely gone by the time of the River Kingdom's succession crisis, though, she's too battle hungry to rule for so long.
Or maybe Sparrowstar will end up inventing some kitty war crimes and become one of the first Dark Forest cases. After all, it's very in-character of BB!Skystar to not officialize an heir, and force Sparrow Heart to have to carve a path through his bio-kits for the power she is owed...
(Mumbling to self: and then that makes a pretty interesting claim for SkyClan during the River Kingdom succession crisis... "we need no claim to your throne to take it from you")
We'll see!

Oscar: They left already?
Matilda: I told them to.
Oscar: You gonna take ‘em up on their offer n’ stay a while?
Matilda: It’s better if I don’t, I’d rather get back to normal.
Oscar: It might be-…
Matilda: No-.. I’ll get changed, then we’ll go.
[Oscar offered naught but a small nod, there was no point arguing; he’d tried to put himself in Matilda’s shoes, tried to imagine giving up one of his own children-.. but he couldn’t. He wanted to tell her how proud he was, though he knew she wouldn’t want to hear that; not now]
Matilda: It’s just-.. harder than I thought it’d be.
[Matilda wiped a stray tear against her knee with a grimace and a huff of frustration; annoyed at her own emotions]
Oscar: I can’t imagine…
…
[Courtney sank to the ground and tugged Robin toward her, his tear-streaked face red and puffy. She’d failed to calm him down ever since they’d entered the room, but he wouldn’t tell her what the problem was]
Courtney: Honey-.. remember what we talked about? You have to tell me what’s wrong.
Robin: It hurts…
Courtney: What does?
[Robin rubbed his face dejectedly; unable to articulate an answer, he promptly burst into tears again instead]
Courtney: Have you hurt your eye? Your ches-…
[Robin interrupted Courtney will a shrill, restless “NO!” Courtney scooped Robin into her arms, heading for the door; a screaming toddler was not what Matilda needed right now]
Courtney: We’ll wait in the car.
[Oscar nodded and nibbled at his nails, concerned; it wasn’t like Robin to throw such a fit. Maybe the terrible twos were a couple years late-.. or maybe it was just the atmosphere…]

tbh I think what has been wrong with me lately is knowing my mom was only a decade older than I’m going to be soon when she died
