The garbage I've had to put up with I feel has me more bold in how I talk to people like that. When I was younger I'd throw hands and I'm still proud that I did. But now that I'm older it's interesting to remind them how privileged they are to have so much family still alive when so much of mine is ash. To look them straight in the eye and say "when your grandfather is the only member of his entire family left alive, don't expect sympathy from me". They're not used to having the roles reversed and it makes them angry and uncomfortable, because theyre supposed to be the ones with the power, not me. Well tough shit, Mary, that's been my entire life and I'm not going to be gentle just because you're sensitive and have never had anyone curse you the way you cursed me.
So I know you've been having a hard time recently, and I hope this can help you even just a little bit: Live. Even if it's just out of spite like me. Live. Someone out there might not want you to still be here, so live your best life purely to shove it in their face and say, "Fuck you. May my mere existence bring you misery and your misery shall bring me joy." Zol er krenken un gedenken, let him suffer and remember. Vi tsu derleb ikh im shoyn tsu bagrobn, I should outlive him long enough to bury him.
So for you, Kaijuno, live well. Live spitefully if need be, and don't feel sorry about it. You shine too bright to suddenly go dark 💖
“it’s interesting to remind them how privileged they are to have so much family still alive when so much of mine is ash” is such a powerful line to me
And yes I’ve been having a rough time but it humbled me knowing it could be so much worse. Thank you for sharing your story.
I felt a similar way coming out to my dad. He’s your typical old fashioned grandpa type and because I came off to him so stubborn he just. Accepted me. As I was. He hangs a pride flag in his dining room to this day because I’m stubborn like him and wouldn’t take no for an answer
