I get thrown off so badly when I realize that people who are 18 years old today were born in 1995 or 1996, depending on if their birthday has happened yet. I know where I was in ‘95/’96, and it just hurts my head.

Yes, oh my god.  I had someone tell me they were born in 1995 when I was at STLV last year and I wanted to lie down.  I remember doing so much shit those years.  I made so many characters and wrote so many stories just damn.  And I was ten for the last third of 1996, so I definitely remember that time even better than I remember stuff in 1991. 

And obviously, people older than me have my alarm layered on top of their own, so I'm done with posting age freakouts! It super annoys me when people spend too long getting blown away by how young I am (though that happens less and less now since I’m primarily on tumblr), so I won’t be posting any more of this stuff~

I did have a conversation with someone the other day though about how my brain seems to be stuck in like, 1998-2001.  For some reason those years are stuck in a little bubble of ‘this is acceptably recent’ even if dates after that make me think 'holy fuck that was forever ago’.   I don’t know if I just have exceptionally strong memories of that time period, if that was the last time as a teenager that shit wasn’t straight up horrible, if I just created some of the things I still cherish most then? A combo of all of them, maybe?   But that’s a very strange bubble of time for me.

SEPTEMBER 1ST, 1991

Oh my god, both at the matching day and month and the reminder that people were born in the 90s.  I’m not even that much older (1986), but my brain still gets tripped up at people being born during years that I remember and being old enough to do things.  Even though I know logically that the people who are 14 right now were born when I was 14, man, that still messes with me. 

STILL, hot damn, a September 1st!   I was born on Labor Day in the US, so my mom got to hear jokes about being in labor on Labor Day for a while after that.  Annnd now sometimes I hear them when the date coincides again.

I know that we’ve grown apart and that’s as it should be. We learn what we can from certain people, then we move on after we’ve taken what we need. When we learn nothing new about ourselves in a relationship that’s when the relationship is over. Or it’s over the moment we’re afraid to learn something new about ourselves. But what I have been learning about myself… whatever it was inside me that was sparked and challenged when I first met you… is deeply connected to this story. I’m an unfinished man, Doctor, like a suit of clothes hanging on a display rack waiting for the final touches that may never come; I need to tell this story to make a peace with those parts of me that were left unfinished. A healing. Indulge me, if you will; I need you as a witness.
