Well now, would you look at that?

Seek the light in the darkest times 🌌

The night sky filled with stars and the milky way, silhouetted by a mountain ridge with a few trees.

Sometimes I think to myself about what I could do if I wasn't constantly hurt or struggling to survive. If I had any family to fall back on, or any long-term stable and supportive relationships whatsoever. If I could have weekends off, and vacations, and healthcare.

Wonder what that would be like.

Keep getting triggered here, so if I unfollow I'm sorry but I used filters and content moderation tools to try to avoid certain things. I appreciate y'all that use these things a lot. I'm not mad, but I can't cope with it anymore.

Sometimes it's good to feel insignificant in the scheme of things.

Distant orange aurora glow and tree silhouettes over a clear black night sky filled with stars and galaxies. The milky way and Andromeda are visible.

Realizing that I'm actually blessed to have the kind of eyes to see the colors in person! These are my pictures, and as close as I can get to what I actually saw in terms of color (though they're all longer exposures so the ribbons stacked).

Trying to believe that there's light in the darkest times if you know where to find it.

No light show last night but all the wildfire smoke made for a cool aesthetic. Smelled like a campfire fr.

Guess I'll try to catch the aurora tomorrow night. Been grinding for days and desperately need a break. Hope skies are clear. I'll be awake anyway, fml.

The official forecast is in from SWPC. Impact is slated for Sep 1 around 20 UT. This is afternoon on Labor Day for North America. Get your cameras ready for Monday night for potential auroral displays right after sunset. Let’s hope we see a nice impact at L1!

Still alive. Don't feel social, get triggered every time I try, it's unavoidable and I don't want to make anyone else feel like it's their fault. Don't want to be seen like this.

Still alive. Don't feel like being social. Just trying to cope. Sorry.

The veil is lifted. The dust is settling, but it's bound to be stirred up again in the process of cleaning it up.

I've seen folks flying them out at Ocean Shores beaches! At least one every time we went (except the foggy day), seriously considering making one myself 🪁

Now I have context for so many things I experienced. Might be approaching the full truth. I won't be the same coming through.

*tearily* "My best friend and -- ex were seen to------ at dyke night and -" the text cuts off there.

Thinking about deleting this account. Don't feel social, don't think that's gonna be a thing for me.

Want to cosplay as someone with one (1) secure attachment. Just to know what that feels like once in my life.
