    Too far gone to do anything

    On life support

    Asshole aunt and judgemental grandma are on their way to the hospital, hopefully to pull the plug, as that was apparently his wish

    Not sure how to feel

    You don't have to feel anything, but whatever you do feel, don't beat yourself up about it

    yeah i know we romanticize what we should feel when a family member dies but it's horseshit. when my mom dies i was joyfully relieved and that's not what you're suppose to feel.

    figure out how you feel just as you and go with it. you don't have a time limit and you don't have a responsibility

    I've found I have a very hard time ending things with someone I've been dating. I never got romantic feelings for this person and she says she never felt that way about me either, but I still just feel really guilty and sad about it and can't help but think a bit about the time we spent together. I've even thought a bit about the gifts I bought her and if she'll feel differently about them now.

    I'm way too sentimental, I guess. I've felt bummed out all day when for all I know she's perfectly fine.

    I'm going through some of my old things and trying to clean my stuff from all the dust. I found some love notes from my previous relationship, I read them, and I don't feel the longing for that relationship anymore. I feel good about that!
    All I feel are the happy memories of those times and I am grateful for the time I spent with my ex gf. Throwing those notes away is no big deal I feel like, but I also found one or two pictures. It's weird, but I do feel a bit of attachment to the pictures. I feel like I just contradicted myself there.

    Should I just throw them away too?

    A future partner might not like that you held onto them. Might as well rip the band-aid off now. I know I always delete all my photos from my phone and social media.

    I wouldn't get rid of them, I consider that fondness a part of my history and important to remember

    But I also wouldn't date someone who would be upset about me holding on to such things

    Man, today has been weird.

    For one, I'm still feeling a bit down from ending my most recent relationship. We're still friends on Facebook and I saw on my newsfeed that she's worried about her new job tomorrow. I kind of want to comment but also feel like it's too soon.

    Then, another woman I dated briefly late last year texted me out of the blue to say she'd been thinking of me recently. We texted back and forth and got caught up, so that was nice. I don't know if she wanted anything more, but if she did she didn't say.

    Now, as in just a few minutes ago, I just got a text from another woman I went on a date with on Valentine's Day 2019 who had ghosted me the weekend after. I had sent her a message back then saying something along the lines of "sorry if I disappointed you". The text preview from her says "Who says you disappointed me?" Honestly, I'm kinda apprehensive about reading it. I'll put that off until tomorrow, I think.

    I kept my copy of Dark Ages VTM with all of my girlfriend's notes in it
    None of them are about me but it is obvious I did not write that stuff nor is it about the game just little vampire doodles and notes

    I momentarily thought about redownloading bumble or something but then a piercing, white hot blast of weltschmerz shot out of my eyes and my mouth, blasted a hole straight through the ceiling of my apartment and fired off into the night sky.

    Decided to just drink and maybe order ramen instead.

    How much ramen will it take to fill the swirling emptiness, the bleak and gaping void where once love did spring?

    Dunno but at least 2 salmon onigiri would probably go a long way.

    My grandfather died last night. He was 89, I think. There are some good memories to remember and enjoy, I guess is the word.

    Thank you, I appreciate it

    Funeral and burial to be conducted Saturday

    Taking Thursday and Friday off of work

    This feels so insignificant compared to the other things going on

    I have a few extra bucks, so I donated to some bail fund groups

    This random person liked one of my Instagram photos (my profile is public). Their profile is private, couple hundred followers so not a huge profile. They have a bunch of mostly selfie photos but the posts stop at the end of 2018.

    Anyway her profile pic seemed interesting and she liked my photo I followed her. She accepted the request and followed back. And since then she has been sending me messages asking me random stuff but honestly not that much. She told me some details about herself.

    She asked me for a photo of my haircut (she’s a hairdresser and I mentioned I cut my own hair a few days ago) and I sent her one but that was contingent on her sending me a photo. She sent me the fifth photo from her profile which, again, is from 2018. I jovially callee her out on it saying “hey, I thought you were gonna send me a new pic?” She said she would send me one but she’s at work right now.

    I’m talking to a scammer or a dude or something, right?

    Fuck, I’m sorry.

    And my post feels like poor post proximity.

    Amazon bought the site of the old mall they tore down like a decade ago now near me to put on a delivery hub.

    That sucks tbh.

    It is gonna get so much more crowded with traffic down there.

    I purposefully try to leave spiders alone because they eat all the annoying bugs I don't want to deal with.

    But at the same time I can't believe this one broke my trust.
