“Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Fight You Know Nothing About.

I believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.

Veronica Roth, Divergent (via rrstorybook)

What do you think is going to happen once September/October hits?

my hope is cooler weather. 

There will likely be an increase in political ads and commercials with the election so close. 

And yes, there will be an increase of Halloween decorating and talk of costumes. Large bags of candy will be sold at outrageous prices and certain members of the household will take things to a bit of an extreme. 

And there will probably be another incredibly surprising event. I can only hope that it is simply surprising and not harmful. 

My parents keep insisting I come home at the end of the month. I keep deliberately avoiding their calls but I'm not sure how long I can do that

I could speak of your generosity of spirit—the sublime language spoken by your heart. But it is your laughter I miss the most. The rarest gift you ever gave me.

Michael Faudet, from Cult of Two

Greetings everyone. I must make this quick, as I do not have too much time. 

I see that my absence has been noticed on here. Roman my love I am so sorry. I am very glad that you found my phone. Please keep it safe for me. 

This is what happened: 

I received a message that I thought was from my aunt asking to meet for brunch. though I am weary to go out to a public place with the current events, she assured me that it would be at an outdoor space at a rather quiet time of day, so I agreed. This was the night before, when Roman was already asleep. 

I left rather early in the morning, as I had wanted to read in the park adjacent to the restaurant for a while. Roman, as well as the rest of the household, was either still asleep or hadn’t gotten up for the day yet. I had full intended to send a message to you, Roman, telling you where I was and that i would be home by the afternoon. However I did not realize until I had arrived that I had forgotten my phone. Very unlike me, I am aware, however it seems that it is a good thing now. 

When it came time to meet with my aunt, i was surprised that she was not there. In fact, the restaurant in question was closed on Sundays. What I did find there was my mother, whom i have not seen or spoken to in months. You can imagine my confusion. 

She told me that she was there to bring me home. That she knew I would not agree to meet with her so she posed as my aunt. When I told her that I did not intend on leaving--my studies, my boyfriend, or my friends--she responded with saying that I did not have a choice. 

i do not remember what happened after that. All I know is that one moment i was there and the next i was waking up in a car and I was already a state away from home. 

My parents seem to think that locking me in isolation will “remind” me of who I “really” am and so I have hardly left my childhood bedroom, let alone my house. I only found a way to post here because they finally granted me to take Julian out for a short while, most of that on his part I’m sure. 

I do not know what I will do. I do not know what I can do. All I know is that I am very homesick and I miss you very much, Roman. I love you, please do not forget that. You are not to blame for any of this. 

I will try to return here to speak with you--with all of you--as soon as I can.
