There’s a difference between getting better and finding more ways to distract yourself
when the reciting of common herbs sounds heck good
Celluloid Heroes - The Kinks
Me: I don’t think it’s working
Me, ten minutes later: a tiny John F. Kennedy just crawled out of my ear to tell me that I’m a bitch
If you’re a Scorpio consider yourself wild
People say that us youths don’t have a good sense of empathy but if that were true then explain why I’m still alive
Everything that used to work doesn’t now so that’s fun
Moon in the 1st: You can see the inner child appear in the face during intense emotional distress. There may be frequent weight changes
Moon in the 2nd: The physical body is the emotional signal and catchment, the body can cling to emotions long after the mind has let it go
Moon in the 3rd: The emotional state constructs and arranges the immediate experience so the world always changes- it can seem warm or dark or too big or too confining or whatever
Moon in the 4th: The experience of emotional pain or distress brings back every related memory with throttling force, old suffering can be experienced time and time over
Moon in the 5th: This can be the inspired or tortured artist, using the mix of deep and hidden emotions, as the canvas and paintbrush
Moon in the 6th: Emotions have unpredictable demonstrations, the first sign may be gastrointestinal trouble, appetite changes, or inability to focus
Moon in the 7th: Mood and emotion can reflect its closest contact, hyper sensitive and responsive to the people they are around so they need to self-reflect to recognise their authentic feelings
Moon in the 8th: Compulsive rituals are operated by the unconscious to bring about the awareness or destruction that emotions and suffering has been unresolved and cannot be pushed any further inward
Moon in the 9th: It’s possible to get lost inside, and there may be an inability to settle because nothing really feels like home. Emotional distress can be magnified by the desire to experience the ideal state of being at all times
Moon in the 10th: Severe internal instability and emotional suffering can activate the wounded inner child where failures and inadequacies are exaggerated
Moon in the 11th: Intense emotional instability and inability to self-comfort can be signals that they must shut the door on something in their lives to let the winds of change blow through
Moon in the 12th: Emotional recognition and demonstration can be undeveloped and paralysed in childhood so they may do a lot of searching - inside themselves, through relationships, piecing together their past, and for God to find something that makes them feel defined in this world

A man my age is very young, so I’m told. Why do I feel so old?
1. Tell the story about how you met.
Two years ago he sat behind me in class and made witty remarks about whatever was happening that day. I remember hearing him talk about Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, and somewhere in my mind I noted that. At the time, though, I was in no place to even consider opening myself to people. It was a bad year. I didn’t pay a ton of attention to him. Last year a similar situation occurred, except it was one of the “student bonding” activities that teachers like to do at the beginning of the year. He mentioned his frequent travels to Peru and I mentioned my ability to play bass. We didn’t start talking a ton after that, but it definitely made the both of us more aware of each other.
6. Tell me a story about a happy experience you two shared. Something that makes your heart warm whenever you think about it.
After a day of walking around downtown, eating ice cream in freezing weather, record shopping, guitar playing, and tree climbing, we made our way to a gazebo by the lake. By this time we were both freezing, but the view was incredible and the day had just been so perfect. We showed each other music while he held me as the sun set.
15. What’s something that you learned about yourself because of being with your partner?
He’s helped me understand that I’m wanted. My qualities and quirks don’t amount to nothing. He continuously proves to me that I matter to someone, and his presence has helped me so much. Initially I was reluctant to take this as far as it is now because I had got it into my head that I’ll always be a flake. I’ll never settle. I’ll get bored. As of now, that’s not true.
21. Tell me about a time that you got into an argument over something silly.
We haven’t had any heated arguments or anything like that, but my indecision in simple things like where we go for dinner has come up. He doesn’t get mad or anything, he just tells me that he wants to be sure we’re doing something that I want to do too.
25. Do you two have a “song”? What is it and how did it become your song?
It’s either Eye In the Sky by The Alan Parsons Project or Perfect Day by Lou Reed. He sang the latter to me after our first date—
“Oh, it’s such a perfect day
I’m glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on”
And then I showed the Alan Parsons song to him as we sat by a frozen lake. He went to New York for a week after that and said that if we listened to it at the same time it’d be like we were together.
32. Talk about your sense of humor, and your partner’s. Do you laugh a lot together? Which one of you is funnier?
He’s definitely funnier. I survive off of inside jokes and sarcasm but he’s just good at making people laugh regardless. He always tells me that making his friends laugh is one of the best feelings, so he’s obviously good at doing it. I’m a lot more bubbly around him and laugh easier, and if I laugh he does too. Nonstop smiling.
36. Tell me about what your partner is good at. Are they an artist, are they good at math, do they play a sport, etc?
He’s really good at weird, Gerald Scarfe-ish caricatures and plays trombone in a jazz band. He’s also super into classical music and virology.
Thanks for letting me gush, sorry for the late response :)
