Then your egg cracks and for a little while things may get even harder, scarier, or darker. You gotta figure out how to be a person from scratch, oftentimes building up a whole life while your peers are already living theirs.

But then it's a year or two or ten later, and you're living in your own skin, in your own clothes, in your own love, and you realize that this is exactly what it's all about.

And you may realize it's been a few days or weeks or months since the last suicidal thought, the last severely depressive episode, and you may find yourself singing in the shower or car and dancing while making dinner.

Finally you're Alive. Finally you're You. Finally You're Right.

And the world gets a little warmer and brighter.

"Copy. Moon joy."

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working."

"Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you."

“If you’ve ever seen the top of the spotlight of the top of the Luxor at night in Vegas, this looks like what it wants to be when it grows up.”

"To all of you down there on Earth... we love you, from the moon."

"We just went sci fi."

"It is so great to see Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania: we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too."

"We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."

“It’s a bright spot on the moon, and we would like to call it Carroll.”

"Amaze amaze amaze."

"I said that we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. And that is true."

"Christina has been sleeping head down in the middle of the vehicle, kind of like a bat"

"It's really fun to be floatin' around, it just makes me feel like a little kid."

"Trust us, you look amazing, you look beautiful."

"'Homo Sapiens' is all of us, no matter where you're from or what you look like. We're all one people."

"I'm proud to call myself the Space Plumber."

"We were all eagerly awaiting the chorus."

"Copy heart. Copy bracelet."

“Welcome back. We are still here. They are in space.”

In case the article gets taken down, I want to highlight these three sections, because I feel like the angry reductive takes are going to oversimplify what's really being said. Not that these takes are wrong, but it's easier to dismiss a shitpost than to actually dismiss the text of the article.

I reblog all of Tara's articles before I read them as they come out, because I've been a fan of some of her other writings and I've wanted to help her get more established on Tumblr, since she focuses more on other platforms and thus her writing isn't as shared on here

Like, Qui-Gon would still be sent to Naboo and end up on Tatooine, he'd still meet Anakin and take him back to the Temple. But, in this AU, he survives the battle on Theed and takes Anakin as his padawan. And the entire Order would be making jokes:

"Congrats on the new padawan! Hope he sticks around longer than the last one!" "We'll keep this one off the bodyguard missions, eh Qui-Gon?"

So one day little Anakin’s like "hey master, what happened to your last padawan?" And Qui-Gon's like "oh he ran off with a girl, yeah he's royalty in the Outer Rim now".

Like, yes, okay, he tried to kill her. But! She's in the will.
