Remember:
You are the only one in the world like you. You are important -- you matter -- just by virtue of bearing that unique vision into the universe.
I'm glad you're here. I hope you stay with us as long as you can.
The world can a scary place, full of loudness and anger, but it can be beautiful, and it's moreso because you're part of it.
Be good to yourself, please. There's nobody in the world who can replace you, and you have so much light to share just by virtue of being you.

Today's term of the day: hapax legomenon!
A hapax legomenon is a term that appears exactly once in a given corpus.
Frex, in all the Latin text from classical Rome that's survived to the modern day, the verb "circummingere" appears once, in the form "circumminxit", in Petronius's "Satyricon". "circummingere" means "to urinate around", and is used in the description of a magic spell a werewolf uses to turn his clothes to stone (by pissing in a circle around them) before he goes off to maraud.
I have no goddamn idea how to read that. Phoenix was still where That Monster lived in my dream, and yet I was scared and determined to get there for... something. What's the lesson?
Collateral damage to things I love comes from getting hung up on the memory of him?
Shit happens?
He already cost me my innocence in several ways, I've already learned that one. I don't think I was going there to scream my pain out at him... I'm not even sure white fire would work.
Dream
I dreamed I was trying to make it down to Phoenix, AZ in time for something, only I was doing it carless. I walked to Portland in a day, just kind of following along next to I5. Somehow I ended up at an airport and took a flight to Flagstaff, then hid myself in a shuttle bus and ended up in Holbrook, but in the dream it was Tempe and Phoenix was still a long way away. My pet gecko from high school had somehow come along with me, but now was crushed accidentally in my pocket, and I wept.
Shit.
