Prompt Answer: The Moon

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ Leave a comment

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

I don’t know that I would go to the moon, if given the opportunity. I’ve got brain gremlins, mental health struggles, and am store-bought neurotransmitter/serotonin dependent as well as insulin resistant.

That makes for a miserable time between leaving Earth, landing on the moon, and then the trip back. Especially when I would have access to yeet myself out an airlock.

All in all, it would be hell… probably.

So, nothing. If I could go for free, with enough meds to get there and back, and enough yarn to crochet on the journey, I’d go.

Prompt Answer: Life Details

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

My dudes.

Guys, gals, and outside the binary pals.

Y’all.

I have one of the worst cases of ADHD and I am on the autism spectrum. Fucking most of my life is spent grasping at mental straw while powering through in a meatsuit that was designed with Sysyphus in mind.

I am incessantly in pain. And trying to focus through brain fog and fatigue. And have the attention span of gnat on cocaine at the best of non-hyper focused times.

Genuinely, I try so hard not to be bitter. I strive to be happy, be kind, be loving, be patient. But fuck if I can all the time.

What could I pay more attention to? The insides of my eyelids. I need more rest.

That’s what I’m off to do.

Take your meds, folks.
