Years later, I would even dream of life escaping my body, of everything finally being over without my own hands being involved. But long before I hated myself, I hated everyone else first.

Decided to write another thing about #surfing and what it means to my life. Also, the header photo is of me surfing! (From the summer of 2004, on tiny Fort Pierce summer waves)
Whenever I try to add Alt text to my images in Write.As, I have problems (I'll put it in a reply).

“The One Thing That Hasn’t Changed Since the 1980s”
In the 1980s we had only a handful of TV channels, and most nights someone still said, “There’s nothing on.” Today we have streaming, YouTube, TikTok, and more choices than we can count. Yet somehow, the one thing that hasn’t changed is still trying to find something to watch.https://polymathchristian.wordpress.com/2026/03/07/the-one-thing-that-hasnt-changed-since-the-1980s/

"Other transitions are fuzzier. When exactly did the medieval period give way to the Renaissance? When exactly is emerging adulthood overtaken by established adulthood?" — Shayla Love for The New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/when-do-we-become-adults-really?src=longreads #science #history #life #longreads #understanding #growingup

Somewhere around the time I apprehended that I was gay, at around age 12 or so, I learned the vocabulary builder word ‘heterodox,’ meaning different in philosophy from the prevailing viewpoints. I found this amusing — I got to be hetero after all, but in an alien way.

"Adulthood, it turns out, is nothing more than dreaming as a child about 'when I grow up I'll be able to go to bed whenever I want,' and then, as an adult, praying 'I wish I could go to sleep at 10 PM.' We've been fooled, folks."

When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three,
I was hardly Me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I’m as clever as clever.
So I think I’ll be six now
for ever and ever.A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Now We Are Six, “The End” (1927)More about this quote: wist.info/milne-a-a/2838/

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life flowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 13 “Family” (1930)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/807…

🌐💬 “What Masking Really Means”
Autistic masking: smiling when it hurts, speaking calmly in pain, and choreographing your body so others can read you. Every interaction takes work.
Check out the eye opening account of the sheer amount of work that autistic people do: https://www.metafilter.com/211325/Melting-Spoons-and-Autistic-Burnout#8790866

Shackled
https://thelavendergaze.com/2022/06/shackled/11 June 2022 There was a boy who became a man. Almost – not entirely. Part of him would remain in that in-between space called adolescence. Stuck like a wraith. Shackled by guilt. Image credits: Ahmad Juliyanto

CW: Drinking mention
I miss trick or treating. 😩 Growing up really does suck, huh? I’ll always love Halloween a lot but that huge aspect of it ended for me a while ago. I’ve never been to a Halloween party that wasn’t put on for kids at school. Idk if I’d be comfy with adult parties anyway since people seem so determined to get wasted.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
The true wisdom is to be always seasonable, and to change with a good grace in changing circumstances. To love playthings well as a child, to lead an adventurous and honourable youth, and to settle when the time arrives, into a green and smiling age, is to be a good artist in life and deserve well of yourself and your neighbour.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 38More info about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

And therefore all my trifling Songs adieu,
I now design to seek what’s good and true,
And that alone; I scorn my wanton Muse,
And lay up Precepts, such as I may use.

A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort
Often an opinion, a custom, seems absurd when we are young, and advancing in life, we find the reason. Mustn’t we conclude that certain habits aren’t so ridiculous? One is lead to think sometimes that they were established by people who had read the entire book of life, and that they are judged by people who, despite their esprit, have only read a few pages.
[Souvent une opinion, une coutume commence à paraître absurde dans la première jeunesse, et en avançant dans la vie, on en trouve la raison; elle paraît moins absurde. En faudrait-il conclure que de certaines coutumes sont moins ridicules? On serait porté à penser quelquefois qu’elles ont été établies par des gens qui avaient lu le livre entier de la vie, et qu’elles sont jugées par des gens qui, malgré leur esprit, n’en ont lu que quelques pages.]Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
