the Passage of Time
"This pain will linger with me still, I pray this too shall pass."
Found an old gold lighter (though I have no memory of ever buying it) and thus naturally I had no choice but to engrave it into Arthur Lester's This too shall pass lighter. Divine intervention at its finest. I have yet to put any lighter fluid in it but alas
"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."
Super lazy evening animation of the couple ever
seeing people my age talk about how scared they are of memory loss, which they only associate with old age, is so surreal to see as a 24 year old who has actively experienced memory loss for a long time now
there are causes for memory loss besides dementia and alzheimer’s, i hope y’all know that. dissociative disorders, trauma, brain injuries, thyroid problems, even just stress and lack of sleep can fuck up your ability to store, process, and access memory. and that’s just a few of the many causes i can think of off the top of my head right now.
please stop treating disabled people like some scary “other” that you might become only in the distant, decades-away future. we are your age, too. you may become one of us sooner than you know. stop acting like memory loss marks the end of a life, when so many of us have so much living left to do!
