Honestly, take the time to read about these individuals. Remember them. Remember the opportunities that were ripped away from them. Remember the smiles and light they eluded but the terror they endured in their last moments of life. Remember every single thing you read about them and make it a point to fight for a world where this doesn’t become the new normal.
Jaime Guttenburg was 14 years old. Just wanted to make the proper correction.
It makes me so fucking angry that our government is so money greedy and heartless that making the world safer and saving goddamn children doesn’t mean as much as the money they get from the NRA.
Fuck our American government.
Remembering souls as beautiful as this is so important. My heart breaks for the pain so many families in America are feeling right now
It’s been a while since my last update for this blog, but I’d like to ler you know I’m alive and back to writing my stories, mainly The Duke’s Lover. You’ll get an update for Remember and PS I’m still not over you as well. But I’d like to tell you today I’ve posted a Kensei x Mashiro story on ffnet.
Set in the universe of Altered Carbon, my story takes place in 2380… so a few centuries in the future.
If you’re interested, here you have the summary, the link, an edit made by me, and also also the trailer.
One of the possible futures foreseen by Yhwach became a reality: almost 400 years after his dismissal, Kensei wakes up from a coma to discover death no longer plagues humanity. In a world where his very existence doesn’t make sense, he turns to the one who’ve always been by his side: Mashiro. But in this new reality, like everything else, she…their love may just be an illusion.
Okay so you’re telling me that DA4 is getting a lacklustre name like Dreadwolf,meanwhile we could have had the absolute rad banger that is Dragon Age: Absolution as a title??
Aries: Do you remember when I wore your sweatshirt, and I smiled, and I told you it smelled like you? It doesn’t smell like you anymore. You’re not here anymore. Why do I stil have it?
Taurus: Do you remember when you gave me flowers before I left? They’re rotten, you’re spoiled, and I feel stupid for crying alone.
Gemini: Do you remember when it was exciting at the beginning? We laughed, and kissed, and talked for hours. And now… Now you ignore me. I wonder why we’re together
Cancer: Do you remember when you told me you loved me? It was over facetime. Facetime. I felt like a dumbass for a longtime, letting you treat me this way. But you’re the problem.
Leo: Do you remember when we’d be in bed together? The sex was great, but I thought you were even better. Your smile, your laugh, your voice that simmered ‘til sunrise.
Virgo: Do you remember driving however long you needed to just to see me? I don’t even know where you are anymore, but I stupidly still long to see you
Libra: Do you remember meeting me? Nervous as hell, but I swear to god, we were so so so cute. You cared way too much about what I thought about you. What happened.
Scorpio: Do you remember movies and talking and eating. Just an overall great time. I thought you were my best friend. I don’t regret having met you, but god do I hope karma comes and gets you
Saggitarius: Do you remember how we slowly fell in love? Then I slowly started to change for you – for us – as you grew apart from me
Capricorn: Do you remember me sneaking glances at you? Nervous, trying to gather up the courage to tell you hey. Should have said “FUCK YOU” instead.
Aquarius: Do you remember me choosing you over that someone else? I was 100% that you were the right choice, but I usually choose wrong, don’t I?
Pisces: Do you remember me telling you about how my friends didn’t like you? And yet, I was infatuated with you anyway. I’m sorry to my friends I should have trusted.
• I look at her as a reason to wake up in the morning. I look at her as the reason to be better, to grow and change and be more than myself. I look at her as the most beautiful thing that ever walked this earth, but she already looks at me like I’m just another memory. _________________________________ #zackgrey #memory #remember #forget #quote #poem #experience #past #love #before #writing (at Delaware Technical Comm College)
