anyway, i have had good conversations with people from all over and it was always while in line for something. i've heard life stories, family history, funny jokes, sad vents, everything.

pair this with all the different places i've seen from prairie, to mountains, swamps, and everything in between... it changed the way i've looked at the world.
when i was a teenager, i was diagnosed with severe depression. in 2018, i attempted to take my own life and failed without injury
i saw the world as nothing but constant chaos and i was *terrified*. no matter what i did or what kind of meds i took, i just couldn't be happy. i was extremely negative and constantly anxious. i felt like i didn't have a place in the world
the day i tried to take my life, i went out onto the prairie and watched the sunset. once it finished, i attempted to shoot myself but the gun wouldn't fire. i'm not sure if it was some sort of divine intervention or if i just grabbed the one gun that didn't work properly, but... yeah
the top of it stayed still while the rest bent and flowed with such elegance. at the time, it was terrifying because my father wanted to go to the grocery store for some reason. looked back, it's honestly funny as fuck how everybody was acting like nothing was happening as sirens blared across town

in 2022, i began a long process of retraining my brain to do exactly that all the time. i accomplished my goal in late 2023.
the tornado i saw was incredible too, even if it was 1 of 5 around me at the moment. i can still see it. it was a beautiful rope
