TET: May - Mexico, Mothers, Memorials

[Geneviev]

Not really. Not yet, at least. I’ll be doing a lot once I actually get to Hawaii and start doing my job. Right now I just learn and train. But they make it difficult. Formation was quick, at least. But it’s so incredibly hot that my shirt actually looks wet just from a few minutes of being out there. Incredible.

I’m not as salty as my fellow soldiers though. I’m in a whatever kind of mood. I don’t really get actually upset, I’m just expert-tier at complaining. That one girl from earlier was like “please! Make it harder! Left-right-left me off a cliff! Fuck me!” I’m just standing next to her like W O W

She goes “I’m sorry I’m just upset”

No shit lol

Upset? I couldn't tell.

[NeuPolska]

If I smoked, I’d probably be lighting up right about now. But instead I’m just blasting my air circulator/fan at myself on full blast with my fresh new speaker playing my jams. Always puts me in a solid mood.

[Kannap]

Welp, my mom no longer has anything to do with me after a not-fun 20 minute phone call.

It took you a whole twenty minutes to ruin a relationship? I can do that in a quarter of the time

But seriously, why?

[Geneviev]

Are you okay?

[New Emeline]

Oh no... I'm sorry about that.

I’ve been getting destroyed the past several hours. Gave a briefing and introduced myself as “Private Second Class.” That was at least funny though. Then I go off to PT and I’m standing next to this girl and she says she can’t donate blood this week because she has tattoos. Me, in my infinite Private Second Class wisdom, goofed up and forgot how tattoos work, and she had a bunch of tattoos on one arm so I go “why don’t they just use the other arm?”

She’s like “no hunny no that’s not how your body works.”

Nonsense, I'm sure she could find a way.

Not within the Army, apparently

But seriously, why?

Surprisingly I didn't even tell her I was gay. I always thought that would do it. But no, it's a bunch of smaller lies about other things - mainly my reasons for getting an apartment and living in Asheville permanently - that finally caught up to me and she found out I was lying.

Are you okay?

Honestly, I don't know. I always knew my relationship with my mother would end at some point. Honestly I am only really hoping she doesn't throw all my books and stuff still at the house away and that I can go home one weekend I know she's out of town and take all my possessions.

Unfortunately family isn’t always how it should be

Might be better this way

[Iahselene]

Total bummer. I hope you get your stuff. Have a nice night.

It might, but still it's a shock. Personally I think it's disgusting how fundamentalists are more often than not unable to love their offspring unconditionally, but that doesn't change the fact that your parents are the very first people in your life. You're there because of them. Elements of them are an integral part of you. Even if you find yourself to be fundamentally different from your parent or parents, in terms of morality and/or common decency, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when the relationship ends. We are only human.

Humanity at its best and worst.

The first face you see is that of your mother’s, and yet she can choose to cut off her relationship with you just like that.

Hey, I didn't die in a school shooting today. And did prove my ability to evacuate school.

Holy freaking shit, I am so glad that you are all right!

Stay safe out there!

Safe? What does this strange word mean?

[Valentine Z]

Safe? What does this strange word mean?

Safe (n) - That heavy metal box that keeps your valuables from being incinerated, shot, stolen, etc.

Right... that was it.

Or based on good reasons or evidence and not likely to be proved wrong. That's a Google definition.

[Gallade]

Am in some bad personal circumstances and things are sort of unravelling right now. Please bear in mind that I'm unlikely to be able to deliver much in the way of banter in the coming weeks and judge approach accordingly. In ideal circumstances I wouldn't be online at all, but in the absence of any real life social circles this is the only place I've got. Not sure if will mean I'll be on here more or less, but if I'm around I'll probably be restricting myself to TET as the wider forum probably isn't something I'll be able to handle.

Will certainly keep in mind, DI. Very sorry to hear you're going through hard times, hope things improve for you as soon as possible.

Jeez, bad news central tonight.

I have no words, pet, that's absolutely horrible. TG box is always open if you need a vent, other than that I just wish you all the best, keep on going, at least thus way you can live fully outside the closet without fear of your family's reaction.

That's the worrying bit, I don't know.

I think it’s fairly obvious.

It was probably just a drill.
G'night TET. See y'all tomorrow.
