I’ve been holding this in for years now but I don’t care anymore FUCK all the parental guardians from foster’s home for imaginary friends who made their kids discard their imaginary friends like garbage after they get “too old” by kicking them out into the streets or LITERALLY throwing them away in trashcans so much that they had to build foster homes just for these sentient individuals that everyone can see and communicate with yet can be treated worse than dogs without anyone blinking an eye and are conditioned to not even question why they have to serve human children in the first place like Mac’s mom had zero fuckin reason to force Mac to give up his adoptive brother just because he was “too old” which he wasn’t he was fucking 8
“A very old man came in to my Starbucks. Halfway through struggling to understand his order through his thick accent, he noticed my necklace. He stopped and said “Your star is beautiful.”, and I thanked him. There was a long pause before he spoke again. When he did, he said “It is beautiful, but I am having a hard time looking at it. The last time I wore one, it was mandatory.” We then spoke to each other in Hebrew for a bit. But soon enough he stopped again, and looked back to my star. With one hand he held mine, and used his other hand to shakily touch the sapphires on my necklace. His lip shook, and tears rolled down his cheeks. In a shaky, heavily German-accented whisper, he said “I am so happy you are here. Your generation is here. We won.” and kissed my hand.✡”
