Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well, shit, smonster. That is awful. I'm sorry. Like, Jesse said, I wish you clarity.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, smonster, I’m sorry.

The status is NOT quo.

((((lisah)))) I can't add any words of wisdom, but I'm holding you in my heart.

Continued love and support to Nilly and Shir.

((((smonster)))) I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I do think getting away from emotional or financial manipulation (aka abuse) is crucial for your well-being. I hope you can take someone with you when you go to get your things, which it sounds like you are planning to do. Hang in there.

Punishingly Intricate

Oh, smonster, I’m so sorry but I’m glad you’re recognizing what’s going on and taking care of yourself.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so sorry, smonster. Be gentle with yourself.

Very glad you are looking out or your own wellbeing, smonster

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thanks, everyone. It sucks so hard. I am resourcing myself - getting a key from a neighbor in case they show up here (I’m not worried about physical danger, just emotional manipulation). Meeting a friend at 2 pm. Plans for Thanksgiving. Making a plan to get my stuff and my cat back this weekend with friends (one of whom is a very, very large Cajun).

Totally dreading talking to my dad about this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so glad you still have your apartment.
