these stories: how many this year? how many is a lot? these stories have always been here: someone i’ve never met to whom i suddenly feel close.  the eye of the storm: could anyone have told them what they needed to hear? the rubble: didn’t people need to hear what they needed to say? gay men who survived the plague have spoken of a moment - hazy, long overdue - when they realized it wasn’t normal for people their age to be dying. the moment when they realized it had felt normal for a long time. i don’t know how many this year (or last). one story is a lot, but i’ve lost count.  these stories aren’t new and it makes me feel old.  r.i.p. calloutqueen

these stories: how many this year? how many is a lot?

these stories have always been here: someone i’ve never met to whom i suddenly feel close. 

the eye of the storm: could anyone have told them what they needed to hear?

the rubble: didn’t people need to hear what they needed to say?

gay men who survived the plague have spoken of a moment - hazy, long overdue - when they realized it wasn’t normal for people their age to be dying.

the moment when they realized it had felt normal for a long time.

i don’t know how many this year (or last). one story is a lot, but i’ve lost count. 

these stories aren’t new and it makes me feel old.
