@mawr I bet you're getting it at home too! Spouse is tying up stuff at work so he can come home early and experience the snow while it lasts. XD
@ThatDamnCat I will be taking pictures and will share when I get back! :D
oh wow, the snow is *pouring* down. I'm going for a walk... not anywhere in particular, probably just down to the gym at the bottom of the hill and back, to enjoy the snow. <3 to all.

but life goes on. time for food, cleaning catboxes, making calls, reading books. life goes on.

what keeps me from suicide:
* fear of failing at it
* fear of pain
* Spouse
* Nar
* the promise of snow
* birdwatching
* writing
* friends
* knowing how much it would devastate the people I love

this is why I always, *always* say my depression is "in remission." it's still *there*. I can still feel the shape of it, lurking in my brain. my anti-depression moveset has evolved, I've gotten very good at fighting it off. I've retrained my brain, rewired my thought patterns, developed a strong suite of robust responses when I feel the poison touch my veins.
the rabbit has to be lucky every time. the fox only has to be lucky once.

thoughts on life
Life is ephemeral. "This Too Shall Pass" holds true of every situation you experience: we all go to the same place.
I think that because it's so temporary, we have to fight for it to be as good as we can make it. You are important by virtue of being here, and even if you move on from the world, you are still important.
This too shall pass. We will grow and honor Natalie's memory.

some thoughts on depression and suicide
Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
Depression, especially for folks in the LGBT+ community, is a battle not just against yourself, but against society and the things that cause it.
It's so important to fight for yourself, but sometimes all you can do is fight *yourself* to stay alive. And sometimes you lose.
It's okay if that's how you have to go. It can be an act of reclamation vs society. But if you do, you'll be missed.
to me, snow is a blessing and a benediction. it's the gentle touch of Gaia, reminding the world that all things pass, and all things come around again. that She is here, holding us all in this blue-green cradle. to take a moment to be quiet, to look and listen, to slow down, just for a little while.
I know, I'm boosting a lot. there's so many good things being said, so much good thoughts, so much caring.
this is hard, and it hurts. please know you are not alone. if you're reading this, I care.

Purgative (CW: Suicide Discussion)
Please remember, everyone's response to tragedy will be different.
My roommate Allie Groothof committed suicide in my living room in 2006 at the very tail end of The Bad. It took me two days to decide that a locked door and not having seen her was enough to justify risking violating her privacy to check on her. The cops who responded to the 911 call wanted to know why the character she'd been RPing online wore the same bracelet she had on.
