Hi, I'm Cricket :) I love poetry and storms, I'm biromantic/asexual, and I mostly just use this site when I'm bored at night.

I spent some time with Gene Cernan, the Apollo 17 astronaut who was the last guy to walk on the Moon. He told me two things that I couldn’t stop telling people: 1. the Earth is round in space like a ball, not flat looking like the Moon is to us. He said while looking up from the lunar surface, the Earth just hung there, like a grapefruit that he could almost grab if he just jumped high enough. Could see the weather change too. 2. because of the smaller size of the Moon, not only is it’s curve very visible, the apparent horizon is also much closer so he said there were moments where if he ran too fast or jumped too high he felt like he was going to fall off.Mindblowing-Scientific-Facts

Hey Pandas, What's A Poem You've Written About Your Mental Health?
Roses are red I’m too withdrawn Nobody would miss me If I was gone (Depression and anxiety are great)

My grandfather hated his neighbor. They lived next to each other for 20+ years. I remember well my grandfather raging at every opportunity about this guy. We never saw them speak to each other. In Grandpa's will, he left the guy $10K, a car, and golf clubs. We were dumbstruck. Turns out, they were good buddies from the army. When they coincidentally bought homes next to each other, they decided to play a long scam with both their families. They actually played golf together two to three times per week and had a monthly poker game for years.Show All 34 Upvotes

I asked my son once who he was before he was my son. He was small, maybe 3 He looked at me sadly and said, 'It was dark and cold and I wasn't anything. Just all by myself..' And then be perked up and said 'And before that I had black wings and I flew! And I'd take shiny stuff because all shiny things are MINE!' And that is how I realized my son was magpie in his past life. And gave me a clue where to find my missing earrings. (He had a hidden cache of jewelry in his room, the little imp.).

Was cruising a back road on the way to work, when I topped a hill there was a cat in the center of the road. I didn’t have time to react and tried to center the cat between the tires. I heard a loud thump as I went over it, and winced. No cat in the rear view, which I pondered the rest of the drive. When I got out of my truck I heard a meow. I searched all over as the meows kept coming. Eventually I found the cat safe and sound sitting on the spare tire underneath my truck bed. He hung in there for over 20 miles. I had that cat for almost 9 years. RIP Mr Furley.
