You guys know what's mildly terrifying???
The fact that you can watch the world population grow in live time online... as well as deaths...
Right at this very second, 147,000 people have died today...
147,000 families are mourning their loved ones...
147,000 people with lives, friends, families... and they show up
As nothing more than a digit on a screen...
One hundred forty-seven thousand people have died on March 1st 2024
147,000
You know what else is crazy?
10,135,500 deaths so far this year....
10,135,500 deaths.
That's... I just can't seem to wrap my mind around that.
And, in the time it took to write this SU, another Hundred people died.
100 more families...
100 more funerals...
10,000,000 tears...
I hope you can get help before you consider adding to that number in any way.
My PMs are open.
I love you all.

Miracle
SpoilerMiracle
I awoke and saw a bright,Yellow flower, sitting aloneOn my dresser.It was, and is, such a simple thing…A yellow flower. A spark in the darkness.A flame, ready to grow.But I saw it as so much more.I saw it as a promise. A miracle.This long, dark, depressing winterCan only last so long before SpringMakes her appearance.It was a symbol of hope, of light, of an endingTo the dark.Spring.My heart laughs with joyAt the thought.Warmth, sunshine, new life.So different from the cold, hard,Angry form of Winter, who has triedSo many times to trap me in his cold,Sad, scary, embrace.But I will soon escape.The darkness, the cold, the fear,The depression, the anger, the emptiness,The loneliness, the sadness, the tears…They all make up the winter,The winter that I will soon escape from.With the helpOf my tinyMiracle.My little flower…I think of her as my friend now,One who is helping toSee me through the dark days,One who is promising light,And with the light, comes life,Comes new ideas,New hope, new purpose, new plans,What started this?A tiny, yellow flower…One who has become my friend,One who, at her passing,Will shrivel, and die.But my hope does not die with her.Nay, it springs afresh with each of her siblings.A fresh miracle, one for me to enjoy,Until hope comes toThe outside world.Until the Miracle of SpringIs upon us.~ Stick 2-22-24Stars

Stick, you’re gonna make me cry in the middle of my storming creative writing class, these are so rusting good. (Also what a strange coincidence, because in CW we’re doing Poetry…)
