When a loved one comes out to you, your positive reaction becomes the story they tell for the rest of their life about the moment they knew they were safe. Make it a story worth telling.

I think about this a lot! I feel like person/tense stuff has almost a cilantro type of thing going on, where it "tastes" VERY different/more strongly to some people than others.

Important caveat that the above does NOT apply to airport coffee. Every morning some manner of psychopomp patrols the concourse and sweeps up the residue of human misery from a dozen canceled flights and heartbreaks, and then they put it through a drip machine.

Despite the strenuous attempts of Late Stage Capitalism to ruin the whole experience, I goddamn LOVE an airport. They combine three of my favorite things: travel, liminal space, and having a clearly delineated List of Tasks.

This is why I don't feel the creeping nihilism today. I feel grief, but by God, I also feel inspired. We are the beneficiaries of every legend who ever lived. Are we willing to pick up the yoke?
