Proposal

So I put in a proposal at work today. Said proposal was that they consider making the below designs as Red Cell exclusive t-shirts. We're not currently actively recruiting red cell donors but I expect that will change and these designs may generate interest in donors that might not otherwise consider donating red cells. Conversion tool!

You'll be loved, you'll be loved

like you never have known⁽¹⁾.

I want to believe this.

I think I want my memories of her to become a series of blurs like she never occurred but, I doubt that will happen. I say I think because I still hold on to a foolish hope that someday she will either realize how I feel about her or if she is already aware, that she might reciprocate.
It's rough for me because it seems I initiate all contact. I'm never asked how my life is but I ask her. I'm interested in her life but she shows no interest in mine. They say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference⁽²⁾. Writing this, seeing it on the screen gives no comfort but it does provide epiphany. Unless I ask her in a straightforward manner her feelings toward me, I will have to live with the almost certainty that she has none. It's the "almost" that is at the same time agonizing and a source of hope. I would not soon see that hope dashed, even if it means the agony.

I've spent roughly half of my expected years on the Earth⁽³⁾ and I still don't know how to deal with feelings like an adult.

When Captain America throws his mighty Shield

All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield. If he's lead to a fight and a duel is due, then the red and the white and the blue will come through, when Captain America throws his mighty shield!
This should have been posted after I watched The Winter Solider back in April. Soon rectified.
