Now, to bring it back I stare, unfocused, into a middle distance. The speck floats, steady as a planet.

It was lost for good, I thought, the writing, but no, as the poet says and I quote, it is like a very faint star, if you look straight at it you can't see it but if you look a little to one side it is there. It's that speck, the floater in my right eye torn from the back of the retina and lodged a little to the right of my vision. The particle I kept trying to blink away and couldn't, nothing but irreversible loss, damage, until the eye became habituated, and I forgot. Now, to bring it back I stare, unfocused, into a middle distance. The speck floats, steady as a planet.

You make sense, but you still don't know it all.

maybe harsh take. but. shitting on people who can't care about selves. who live with parents. who rely on partners in 'basic' tasks. (yes even body care tasks). who got chores done for them. who don't work. is ableist. even if clarify 'this specific person isn't disabled.' it still perpetuates stigma. it still ableist.

say exactly what wrong. have they overstepped someone's boundaries? have they pressured someone into care? have they manipulated abused etc.? something else? point wrong behavior. n critique this behavior.

'they're 30 n live with parents' not bad behavior. 'their parent cut their nails' not bad behavior. 'they don't work' not bad behavior.

'but they're abled!' 1) you don't know for sure. can't know for sure. undiagnosed n invisible disabilities exist. not every undiagnosed individual able to take care of self. recognize undiagnosed n invisible disabilities existence not only when they look 'nice' for you. 2) it still contributes to stigma around needing care. disabled people often not seen as disabled. even if visibly disabled. every individual presumed abled because ableism. so disabled individuals will be shitted on because need care. because presumed abled.

to destigmatize needing care. have to destigmatize getting care. even if not see as 'reasonable' n 'justified.' can't destigmatize needing care if say 'getting care depending on others living with parents etc. is bad but disabled is exception.' because still stigmatize process of getting cared.

people don't need allowance n approval of society to get care.

(not say not call out bad behavior. ask call out bad behavior specifically. not stigmatized neutral things).

Indian Peaks Wilderness, Colorado by Aaron Spong

Love goes on and on, blowing your mind, blasting out of your heart, endlessly.

I love you; you can say it over and over, until it runs out of meaning, until it’s impoverished with overuse, like Van Gogh’s sunflowers, everywhere. But if you start looking for an atom in a universe, you start to see love is exactly like those sunflowers. Love is everywhere; if only I can let it in, recognize it. That’s the trick—I see that now, too—to accept the death of a loved one is to arrive at the knowledge that love itself cannot die or change or end. Love goes on and on, blowing your mind, blasting out of your heart, endlessly. And everything else that I’ve ever called love but that isn’t now with me, that’s been something else, a beautiful transaction perhaps, a met craving, a shared passion. Love doesn’t arise from loneliness assuaged. And loneliness doesn’t arise from love’s loss. Loneliness is the injury that results from a refusal to let go—and to let come.
