Maria, love, I don't think those feelings are petty at all.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Maria, what Strix said.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry, Maria, that's so painful.
If it's okay, I'm still going to hold out hope that you become a parent because I think you'd be so very good at it. I think you have a lot of love that you could lavish on a child.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Maria. I agree with Strix, your feelings aren't petty.

Oh Maria, your feelings are your feelings and they are real. And they aren't petty, but I do know that those feelings can make you feel that way. Any way you can find to lighten your burden is a good thing.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{Maria}} Your feelings are real and not petty.

I'd like to hold on to this hope for you, too.

And in news about periods in a different sort of way....
I had a dream last week that I was visiting my mom for Thanksgiving (which I never do). In the dream, I said something about how something was weird or off (I can't remember exactly). My mom responded with, "Well, that's to be expected since you're pregnant."
I immediately woke up in a cold sweat and started doing the math. I thought I was fine and it was just a dream, but you know how those things linger in your brain.
Yesterday, after 9th period, if someone had walked by the staff restroom, they might have heard a relieved, "Thank God!"

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
This is why the only thing I'm grateful for during this god-forsaken time of enforced cheer and gaity is my family and all of you.
Now that I have some time and distance, I'm also seeing how toxic our relationship was in certain respects. It makes me even sadder, because we both could have been happier. I miss him very much, but I'm realizing I started shutting the door on us even before he died. I think he did too, and neither one of us did anything about it.

Oh Maria, try to forgive yourself, no love is perfect.
