The icelandic volcano “Eyjafjallajokull”
Sometimes I like to think “Eyjafjallajokull” is Icelandic for “Fuck you guys, I’m a volcano”
I’m Icelandic and I can tell you that is 100% accurate.
Thank you, to all of you and all of those who put their lives on the line so the rest of us can enjoy the both great, and simple, act of being able to express ourselves on a public forum without repercussion. Happy Memorial Day.
XOXO,
Kitty

I don’t see why, If we ask anything of our leaders, it is to tell us the truth. If I am your friend, if I am your buddy, you may one day ask me to walk through hell and a hail of bullets for you. Why wouldn’t you ask those that will give all for you in hell to give all for you anywhere else? We as a species have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Don’t kid yourself into believing that your sins or problems are new or not something that has been dealt with before. We as a people are so repetitive it’s silly, and you are no different. It’s been done before, it has been survived. Nothing is so heavy that we cannot lift it. Nothing is so bad that we will leave you to be destroyed by it. No man is left behind. Ever.
Often the truth sucks; it’s hard to live with.
We like to hide it and tell each other fairy tales of our existence.
We gladly sugar coat our problems because we feel shame or don’t want to burden each other.
If I refuse to leave you to the monsters that we fight, why do you think I will leave you to the demons that are fucking with you?
We don’t need an invitation, just an excuse.
You just need a buddy and maybe a beer or seven.
Reach out, for many of us will never, and I mean NEVER ignore such a distress call.
Nothing holds truer, Soldier.
Don’t you forget it.
