My Rage Is Calmed When I Express Myself. So, Why Do I Not Do So More Often? A Question I Find The Solution

One of the most frightening experiences during Mass Effect was when Shepard chose to destroy the relay in the Batarian cluster. I thought the decision to only be a rich story's tragedy, until I tripped out by the sudden appearance of seeing red everywhere when Shepard was talking to her shipmates. I know the red was my own eyes playing tricks on me, but the reality of such a mass murder really fucking sucked.

So, Shepard's stoicism was a bit too much, because a scene of Shepard balling their fucking eyes out was sorely needed. Especially, when they were with their lover. The writers really missed out on such a catharsis; especially, when they take their storytelling seriously.

I guess one can only avoid reality and poor decisions for so long before it appears in the escapism.

Arches, 11/24

REALLY tough photo conditions in Arches, but worth it to be nearly alone in the park most days! When else do you get Delicate Arch to yourself for like 45 minutes than when it's like 15F and windy. Wish I could have made better use of that time but whatever.

I would like to feel the dirt wash from my hair, because I was courageous.

[image description: a digital art rendered in a semi realism style depicting a brown skinned, fancy shawl pow wow dancer. they sit down with their left knee propped up and their left arm resting on their knee. They have dark blue, black, and yellow colored regalia. They wear thin blue hair wraps around their braids, a yellow beaded choker, a yellow beaded headband, and blue beaded earrings with yellow accents. Their under dress has medium sleeves and is a shiny, dark fabric that glitters blue and purple in the light. a yellow shawl with a multicolored heart design rests on their right leg, with black fringes. a circular cropped image of an eastern tiger swallowtail resting on green leaves is overlaid next to the fancy shawl dancer, who's regalia and beadwork designs mimic the butterfly wings. end image description.]

So, studying history and having role models while pursuing a just society is actually really important?

Looking more like a checklist these days. I want off this ride. 😭
