It has been a rough day, a very emotional and sad piece I wrote this morning about some grief.
It’s the twelfth of May once again and every year that passes I feel like it sneaks up on me more and more. The first time it came since you went I felt it encroaching on me with obscene heaviness for weeks, a tsunami sized wash of emotion threatening to spill over and colour all my thoughts and interactions with extremely unpleasant and “negative” emotions.
This is the eighth May twelfth I have faced without you and it does get easier in a lot of ways. I’m not constantly sad like I used to be, the emotions are there, but dulled, swallowing them and sitting with them is not as difficult as it once was.
There are pieces of me, changes in my life, things you will never get to know about me and in turn growth and new experiences you will never get to have and I mourn that along with your presence. I haven’t cried yet today. I probably will at some point. I’m facing thirty this year without you and that night is going to be hard but it’s still over three months from now so I push it from my mind.
I eventually get out of bed, I put on the sweater you bought at our first concert together, think of you while their music blasts from my phone while I brush my teeth. I linger over good memories while black cherry tea steeps on the countertop and I write this. I love you, I miss you, but it isn’t as hard as it used to be and I think you would like that fact a lot. I have new friends and new people who I take care of and help take care of me and that helps make getting out of bed every day worth it. I do it for them, I do it for you, I try to fill the void that you made in my life by being the kind of person you were because the world needs more people like you. Since you've been gone there is an absence I have decided to take up, since no one else will. I go about my life in the way that makes me the most authentically happy and I know it is what you want. Even though you will never see a new Starkid show, even though we will never scream-sing a song together in a car on our way to the mall again, I still do those things almost because you can’t. I keep living on, doing what I do and having new experiences because I’m still here and hopefully will be for a long time.
And who knows? Maybe one day your absence will hurt so little I will go to Vegas like you always wanted to and make stupid bet in your honour. Until then I guess I will just re-watch all the FRIENDS Vegas episodes, drink my tea, and think of you.

I'm sorry you're sick man :/
I'm very excited today because my gf said she would like me to get a trans bf becuase she's recently discovered she's poly and knows I want one, so now I'm just trying to find one!
I would love to read any haikus you write!
What are your sheel playlist thoughts?
yeah me too :( and my brother bought oreos and i cant even have any because i have to eat them with milk and milk would just make me feel worse :(((
gl on your hunt bro!! im sure you'll find a good guy xx
ok so i wrote five more than i was sposed to xx whoops
my favourite chicken is gone
she would run right up
to say hello
maybe next spring
we'll meet again
purple is the best colour, i think
so rare in nature
yet we assign it to kings
there are fawns in my grandparents neighborhood again
they are small, gangly
they hide behind their mother
dainty feet barely ghosting the grass as they run
my guitar has scratches from the time i dropped it
wood hitting pavement, a discord of noise
i find it has a certain mournful sound now
character development
we dance in your kitchen to old love songs
big band music always makes me happy
you're the first person i haven't had to teach to dance

WiP Wednesday
I got tagged by @mellaithwen @spotsandsocks and @rewritetheending and so many others over the last weeks - thank youuu ����😘😘. I'm currently working on the best-friend's-wedding AU again and things are getting delicious 😌
Eddie's head rolls against the backrest. He closes his eyes and resists the urge to rub his hands over his face because he knows that Christopher is watching—
"You okay, dad?"
—and he's way too perceptive.
Eddie sits up and looks at his son. Christopher got a new pair of glasses the other week and he—he looks so grown-up with them, truly a teenager now, and...Fuck. Time's just moving too goddamn fast these days and Eddie feels like he's running out of breath trying to catch up with it.
"Yeah, sure," Eddie says after he's cleared his throat—and because he's an idiot, he adds, "Why are you asking?"
"You lost, like, every game tonight. And you keep staring at—" Christopher stops abruptly when Buck walks back into the room. He comes to a halt in front of the TV but his eyes are still trained on the phone in his right hand.
"Buck?" Eddie asks tentatively, "What's going on?"
"Umm," Buck looks up and starts scratching the back of his neck. There's a smile on his face but something's off about it.
"That was Kelsey and, umm, the wedding-venue"—Eddie's heart rate picks up—"and… you know how they got this crazy-long waiting list and we couldn't even secure a spot next year. But apparently a wedding fell through and now there's this unexpected opening next month and… they called and asked if we wanted to take the spot, and… yeah, we said yes. So," he drops his hand and a startled laugh leaves his mouth, "I guess I'm getting married in four weeks."
I'm gonna tag @homerforsure @renecdote @gayhoediaz @buckactuallys and @nymika-arts if you want to and haven't already! 💛💛💛

It was too hot to sleep last night. I finally nodded off, cradling an ice pack wrapped in a damp towel, sometime after 3:00 am. I have to get on a plane today.
