Time To Go

Tears burning in his eyes

Anger boiling in his cold veins

Heart pounding slowly in his ears

Staring at his freedom

Thirty tiny capsules of death

Trying to remember why he has stayed this long

Feeling defeated

Failure

He doesn't belong here

Alone

Maybe it really is time for him to go

Alex, Sweetheart,

You are getting very dark again and this is frightening to me - I hope that this poem is an outlet for those sort of feelings and not something that you are contemplating.

Please let me know.

Love ya,

Sally

I ALWAYS say "I don't belong here!"

This is the first time I have heard anyone else say it.

The HELL with everyone - I gonna MAKE a place for myself!

It's their problem not mine!

Thirty capsules, three capsules, three hundred capsules....

Zero capsules belong in you.

Hey there Alex. Where are you now? You don't have to do this. There is so much more to see yet.

Throwing in the towel? Defeated? You? No, I don't think so. That is not the Alex I know.

Do you have any idea how awesome life becomes when you have dominion over it?

Alex, througout my life I had many excuse and reason to end it. I have been in the blackest of black. The darkest pit of despair seemingly beyond hope.

I have been to the point of just hanging on to one minute to the next.

What I know now is that even at your darkest moments, your deepest winters in your life. Spring does come. For each day that I have rejoiced, I think back to previous days of blackness and realize that if I ended things then, I would have never kknown the joy of life now.

You don't have to take those pills. Those pills are not a part of you. Throw them away.

Tomorrow is a new day :)

Love you Alex

Brenda

Alex,

verlaß mich nicht, for I will not be the same without you. I know I have told you I do not know all the pain of what you have gone through. And I every day wish instead of what is happening to you that it would instead happen to me. Ich liebe dich immer und ewig. You are my brother and I dont ever want you to give up no matter what. You know you will always have me through whatever happens from here on out in your life and you have always had me ever since that first day we met. We are closer than friends. We are brother and sister.

No matter the circumstances, no matter the trials, I will try to remain here with you as long as I can to help you and be there with open arms to help you through. Isnt it enough that you belong in my heart? Isnt it enough for you to keep on going knowing someone cares about you as much as I do? Isnt it enough knowing that you will get through and can defeat what is going on maybe with some help from those around us? When I accomplish my writings and when I am able to be out on my own and not worry about where my next meal is going to be or where i am going to live next. When I get money I will move closer and help you out. I just hope you wont ever push me away because you my brother, you are so valuable in my eyes.

It may not be the same as if I were physically right next to you but this will have to do right now I guess in order for us to both change the way we live. In order to show ourselves we can get through and we can maybe live to fight another day.

Ich hoffe, ich bin nicht in Ermangelung Sie

Du sind in der Nähe zu meinem Herzen so you are not alone and you do belong in this world.

I hope that you try to keep fighting with all your strength because I cannot tell you what is to come if you do not try.

Remember.

Ich liebe dich immer und ewig

Deine Schwester,

Aarianna

I too have had moments of deepest darkest pain,

Felt so small in a world that held nothing but disdain and oppression.

And have stood at the brink of it all screaming inside.

Why me? Why can't I be normal? Why can't I be happy?

Does God hate me? Why Why Why?

I've wanted the hurt to end so bad, that all I've felt is numb.

I've been lucky in those times to have had people fiercely drag me back.

An outpouring of love from an unexpected source.

When I meant nothing to myself, how could I mean anything to another?

I've was made aware of a few very important things.

Our lives don't just effect us - but impact all those around us.

Your strength gives me hope, your pain feeds my sorrow.

A single act of kindness can change a life for the better.

And no matter how things look today, there is always a better tomorrow.

There is no sense in a permanent solution to temporary problems.

You have not fought this long and hard to stop now.

Reach deep into yourself and hold your head high.

You will always have your own self worth - let the others be damned.

Alex you have no shortage of kindness or compassion - save some for yourself.

Luv Kelly.

      Both of my parents were raised in WASP-ish families. What was or wasn't appropriate, with an emphasise on superficial appropriateness (conformity) was verbally beaten into me the second I hit puberty.   Which is really sad as I think back, and was bewildering at the time. I remember being really free to be expressive how I wanted to and then once I started puberty, all of that freedom disappeared and I didn't understand, at all.

      I'm doing "beans and rice" for dinner tonight, but it's Punjabi style red bean curry and saffron rice, and I always have an appetizer tray of cut vegetables and dip (seasoned yogurt to go with the theme) on the table.  Might grab a package of naan from the store on the way home, or just make a pan of very american biscuits to go with.

      I'm volunteering both days of our Pride Festival (signing other volunteers in, lol).    Taking my two younger kids (oldest is way too cool for school, lol) to a family friendly pride festival, and then turning them loose at the city wide event while I listen to music. They're old enough to experiment with independence and the festival is in a controlled enough space they can feel like they're getting away from me without being *that* far away. My middle is newly out as LGBTQ+ and has been practicing their makeup look for a couple weeks already (age 14) <3

      Well today was mostly sleeping so far. I woke up at around 0600 and made sure my oldest was ready for school. I came back down on the computer chair and next thing I knew it was 0953. I went through speech therapy for myself. Next thing I realize it's 1300 and apparently went to sleep again. I knew I slept last night but whew apparently not enough.

      Jeans, grey henley, heathered grey blazer with elbow patches, split sole jazz sneakers. Blazer is one of my favorite wardrobe pieces and it's warm but super windy today so perfect sort of day for it

      Fragile is my word of the day. More intense dysphoria than my baseline normal, feeling emotionally on edge. Also ignoring a piece of therapy homework that's actually going to be beautiful when it's done (I'm doing an art piece exploring emotions around the name I was given at birth).

      Got accosted in a grocery store parking lot this morning by someone out on a petition drive (in my state, citizens can gather petition signatures to advance ballot measures; I'm always a little cautious about encountering petition drives "in the wild" because unless it's an issue that's been talked about *a lot* it can also be used as a way to just gather voter information).   ANYWAY, the person with the clipboard is presumable cis male and aggressive and I'm AFAB, genderfluid, dressed pretty androgenously this morning and this guy hollars across the parking lot asking "young lady" if I'm a registered voter.   Informed him I'm neither young nor a lady (guy was at least a decade younger than me, maybe more) and wasn't interested in the petition anyway.   "Oh, so I guess you're just offended then."   "YEP!"

      Welcome @FelixThePickleMan! I admire your ambition to become a K9 handler. Working dogs are fascinating and outstanding.

      I also struggle with being short (5'2) and everyone around me is taller especially my guy friends. And to my guy friend I pass with them and they're cool with me being trans but I often don't feel man enough and I'ts really hard dealing with the feeling of not being enough, and my mom often makes it seem as if I'm hopping on a trend which isn't true. I wear masculine clothes and sometimes I pass well but a lot of times I don't and that's really a struggle. Some people say I act masculine and others say the opposite, I try to pass but some times it's really hard especially with my mom because she uses my birth name me and uses she her pronouns for me and doesn't let anyone use anything else because they say they're being respectful to her even though she's not there. I remember being in an art group and they use my name Felix and my mom got flaming mad and told me and the people in charge that if they called me Felix again she would revoke my privilege to go there and I'd never go again. So it's often tough to pass all the time. 
    • Ashley0616
      WOW! Did she give a reason at least? It's not like it takes up that much space.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Yeah, it would be awesome to have something new, and it would fit the space pretty well.  We have kitchen counters big enough to process whole deer, goats, large amounts of vegetables, etc.   Unfortunately for me, I couldn't even convince our "den queen" to let me have counter space in our downstairs kitchenette for a Keurig.  🙄

      I think the biggest mental block to acceptance is the language that keeps us othered and on the fringes, rather than woven deeply into society. But I also think that's changing fairly rapidly. My youngest is well into their young adult genre novels phase and I'm impressed (and kind of amazed) at how many of their mainstream traditionally published novels have LGBTQ+ themes woven in. That child is 12, and I suspect that as the kids who are in middle school along with them grow up, they're just going to expect and demand better than we've done as their parents. They've seen it in the fiction they read and have every expectation that it will be part of the life they live.
