Allyson, the night I had dinner with you, ita and Kristen was the funniest group of girls I'd ever been with-- I really wish we could do it again.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't want to end up a homeless person. This is all so surreal. Three times a week a huge rabbi looking guy sends electric shocks through my brain. If this doesn't work I'll end up on lithium. I'm so tired and afraid.

This is doable. Hard, but doable and you are very good at that. And you do it with sparkly shit and pretty pots and gardens and rescuing critters and the turn of the word. And being an amazing friend. It's an impressive feat and it is in you, always has been.

Dude, no fucking way we'd let you end up homeless.
Your brain is kinda literally afire right now. It's scary. And probably doing some weird ass feedback shit that is not terribly comforting, I dunno. Just..the next thing in front of you. Love you.

Part of it is the memory issue. My mom is here and I don't know how she got here. I don't understand a lot of what's happening around me.

That's got to be terribly disorienting and frightening, especially for someone like you, independent and in charge. (Would be for me.) I want to tell you to leave your trust in those around you, let it go, but, yeah, that's sooo damn easy, even when you're dealing with what you're used to, brainwise.@@
Do what gravitates towards comfort, we'll be here, making sure you are safe.

The day of the dead pots and plantings you did are beautiful, Allyson.

I'm sure that's worse than disorienting. Hard to even know yourself when you can't connect the dots.
But this is a transitional period and you will come out on the other side. You will be whole, and wholly yourself. The colors brighter.
Hang on. You're almost there.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm so glad your mom is there with you. I trust that you will make it through

Allyson, I think of you a lot. You're amazing, smart, talented, and you're taking steps to take care of yourself. All of those things are so, so huge and important!
I'm really glad your mom is there with you. You'll get through this.
