So I know I don't update anymore, and when I do it is very cryptic and dramatic. Usually the only times that I update are when I am having horrible PTSD, and don't feel comfortable talking to people on the phone or in person due to how vulnerable I am. It's hard to talk about some thing I don't understand myself, when my breath is knocked out of me by raw emotion. Anyway, now is not one of those times, but I am feeling emotional and needing to reflect on some thing.
I don't know where I was on the 21rst of November, or what I was doing to miss the news on the internet, but I found out that 17 days ago Anne McCaffrey died. I am pretty upset about this, despite the woman's accomplishments, and her age. I really haven't been impacted by a celebrity's death before, usually I feel sad, then move on knowing that I really didn't know them, and while that still holds true concerning my relationship with Anne McCaffrey, I did have a very personal relationship with her books. Specifically Dragonsong and Dragonsinger.
I really want to type out a huge reflection on this, but I think I can sum it up best just by saying that her books helped me through some really hard time in my life, and helped inspire me to pursue an education despite everyone around me telling me I wasn't worth it.
