Societal norms need to be changed sooner rather than later.

Acting like all veterans, regardless of how they treat other people, are more important than everyone else, including the people you currently rely on to function at the most basic level on a daily basis, is going to look so so so messed up. 

This reminds me of that, too.

I'm not even sure if that's ever happened before.

This morning, had a dream about a World War II  veteran relative who is now deceased, who probably had PTSD, who definitely had abuse issues, and who did not leave a good impression.

What can you learn from such a person? What can you learn from such a dream? The dream itself was not such a big deal, really. Just an impression of old guy in a kitchen, maybe a bit socially clueless, functioning as a problematic product of his culture, making a somewhat strange conversational moment (Do you have a condom, he asked, out of nowhere, as he prepared something on the stove.) But the fact of who was in it was the bigger deal.

This is understandable.

Did they have the autumnal drinks when Grandma was growing up?

I hope all the people with all the genetic advantages based on whatever societal norms are unfolding at the moment know this is definitely NOT what it was like in Nazi Germany and therefore they are NOT gonna look like ONE OF THOSE UNCARING JERKS to anyone's descendants...

It's the truth!

Probably apple.

You think you're going to be a girl in the next lifetime?

Well, say goodbye to that guy. Adios to that other person. 

You'll probably still see so-and-so around, sometimes, but they're definitely not going to treat you the same. 

On the other hand, you might also meet some new people.

Hey, it's Sunday morning.

It's been a really weird lifetime! I wonder if it would be considered too early to complain about how obvious it's been that certain people would have treated me much better if I was in a man's body this time around, on account of their preferences based on their upbringing and / or cultural influences? Sorry. It's just been such a weird one. Seriously.

Time to get better again.

I suppose my deepest feeling is that people really need to take care of their health, and when they do that, it will be what's best for them, and it will be good to others as well.

From one perspective, pain means I have to cave into my body's stress response signals again tonight and it's changing my plans. Is it frustrating? Yes. I thought I preferred to do things a certain way, in my head, but my body needs me to do it another way.

To be honest, I wonder, what if I didn't really want to do it that way anyway, and my body pitches a fit at me for not listening. 

It's really hard to live in the society which has way too much focus on unhealthy patterns that are going to just horrify people in the future, and in fact, they already horrify some people. 

Anyways, I don't want to drain myself too much by talking about it too much, cuz I have to tend my needs.

Let's get better now.

Well, it's beginning to get colder...

You in or out.

"I can't decide. I just want to monitor what goes in and out of my backyard. Call me NIMBY."

Stuff is stuff. I write, and it is just one tiny corner of a life.

I understand everyone needs to take care of themselves. It's just that for whatever reason, I'm wired in a certain way where it really bothers me if certain people aren't being treated well, and I literally do think that people are going to look back on us with horror that it was just so normalized, almost maybe, not exactly, but almost like we were horrified when we learned about certain things in history class.

It makes a difference!

I got good food, happy vibes and sunshine and there's decent air quality outside today, too.

Whoa, small breakthrough!

Parts of X wanted to be nice to me, but the patriarch-he taught him more about how to not be nice to me. Hmmm. Digest that information for a little bit.
