"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

I laugh, but still, yeah I can see how that’d get old quickly. Some people just can’t seem to take getting a no too well – they have to pick at it until there’s a reason that they can understand. I guess hoping it’s something they can change or do to change the answer? I dunno. I understand the “But I want to know what’s up” impulse really well, I’m nosey as all hell by nature – but that’s one of those times you have no right to demand answers.
Not experienced a lot of it personally, but used to hear plenty about it from a female friend of mine that wasn’t into guys. She had to deal with a tonnn of “Why not?” and either explain herself repeatedly or have people figuring she was somehow a jackhole for not explaining her sexuality to a random individual.
90 percent sure? I was 100% sure Tracy was already hitting on you, Ruth…
Ruth is never more than 90% certain, as reading signals is a learned, unnatural behavior for her.
No one owes you an explanation of their sexuality, and you owe no one. Unless maybe you’re in the middle of a relationship, then communication is likely a good thing, but still ‘owe’ doesn’t seem the right word.
