Man, Woman And Infant, Victims Of An Earthquake In 365CE At Kourion, Cyprus

Man, woman and infant, victims of an earthquake in 365CE at Kourion, Cyprus

“The most amazing discovery at Kourion was the finding of a family trapped under tons of falling debris. A 25 year old man put his leg and arm over the body of a 19 year old woman but to no avail. A fallen block had snapped her neck at right angles. They held hands in their last moments and they still do. And in her arms, cradled to her chin was her one and a half year old baby. Rodents crawled down amid the hollows in the debree and attacked the soft flesh of the child, dragging it all about until the rodents themselves ended up as victims of the disaster. On the finger of the young lady was a bronze ring, which bore the Chi Rho, the symbol of Jesus Christ and which also had on it alpha, omega, which was a fitting inscription for it meant from the beginning to the very end.” - David Soren

I saw something that was like “we put our lives on pause, but getting vaccinated can help us be able to hit play again” and it just bothered me because I’m not just starting again where I left off. I graduated from college in spring of 2020. I’m never going back to living there and regularly seeing my college friends. I’m never getting my graduation ceremony. I’m not getting my last months of college back. They’re gone!

So anyway this post is dedicated to anybody who went through any transitional period during the pandemic. Whether you graduated, lost somebody, moved, or anything else where you will never truly be able to get the last months/year of [whatever] back. It’s so easy to feel like you should be over it by now and just be grateful whenever you can eat in a restaurant and go into stores again but you lost more than that.

I’m just tired of seeing so many things about “going back to normal” when a lot of us don’t have the same “normal” to go back to.

gd. richard gansey iii is literally Such a deeply bizarre dude. this short WASP kid from a wealthy and respected political family really just said nope to all of that and decided to be a 15 year old hitchhiker bum in europe entirely alone from all of his family and spend his teenage years hyperfixating on an obscure piece of welsh history because he resurrected from the dead and he thinks that the dead king from celtic mythology saved his life. he comes to aglionby like, yes i am likeable and perfectly normal, i am neurotypical, i am a generic richboy who is excellent at social cues and societal norms, you will all love me, my near-obsessive hyperfixation with an obscure mythical ruler due to severe ptsd and a near-death experience (about which i claim i did in fact die, and came back to life) is super normal, it is so unremarkable and normal of me to think that said long-dead king actually didn’t die at all but he came to a tiny little town in southern virginia to go to sleep for a couple hundred years and this is absolute fact in my mind, i am the posterboy for WASP politics men when they are teenagers. like what do they all think of him.

For the sake of updating this?? I did. A postage stamp with a peach on it :) Postage stamp because of the postcards, peach for obvious reasons, little 11¢, and then put it on my ribs... Most English major thing I've ever done ngl

And if I get a peach tattoo because Jeans pure happiness at having a peach (and him hiding it for later) brought me to tears, then what??
