“How’s it gonna be?” by Third Eye Blind is playing on the radio. At this moment. On top of everything that I was thinking before…
Are you fucking kidding me?

We can never go home
We no longer have one
I’ll help you carry the load
I’ll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The crescent moon above us
Our blood is cold and we’re alone
But I’m alone with you
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever

This is a transitory stage, that’s what this is. So much has changed. Nothing is the same. It’s meant to be weird and it’s supposed to be painful. A shedding of the skin, of prior fears and doubts. The only thing I’m certain of is the uncertainty that lies ahead. Hard work, that’s a given. Critical thinking, soon to be habitual. Determination… a necessity. With everything that has happened the past couple of weeks, I find myself with very little to say.
There is only this:
Genesis and Jaylene, you are the loves of my life and my true heroes. You both win the award for best nieces in the world.
I would also like to thank a few people who have been extremely supportive, never temporary, and always steadfast.
Katie and Cynthia. You already know what I’m thinking. I love you both.
Tyler, Caro, Haley, Katharine, James, Tess, and everyone else from Colorado who attended the memorial. Being together with all of you again the way we used to be was more than I could ask for. TS for life.
Maria. My baby momma, aka my butch lesbian chicken rapist lover, aka Bambi Eyes, aka Le Bombies, aka the one who completes me. I appreciate you beyond words and thank you for always telling it like it is. Lubbie Dubbie Wubbie.
Vee, Scott, Edward, Samantha, and Lucas. You turn mundane hours into creative ones. Stay golden.
Last but in no way least, to a person I have missed immeasurably and who perhaps is not aware of it… Tyson. At this point, language is useless. These emotions are far greater than any syntax of words could describe. All I can say is that there is a gap where you once were. You have been in my thoughts every day.
On behalf of my family and myself, thank you everyone for your condolences and support.
We love you Elena. Always.
