This past weekend, I made it through one of the big bosses in act 3 of Baulder’s Gate. I wept like a child over Karlach’s monologue about how she still feels empty after killing the guy who sold her to devils, and it didn’t change the fact that she was going to die. What’s the point of it all?
I was at a family wedding this weekend, and I teared up at the speeches made by the maid of honor and the best man.
Like just a tear or two or full on weep? Because I would prefer not to dig in my memory for weeping, but just a tear or two? Cat claw in boob.
Playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Drawn in by the grandness of the story but it all came down to the one thing that hits close to home for most everyone
There’s are two things.
My first girlfriend tricked me into getting her pregnant. My sister adopted our progeny. He turned eighteen a few months ago. He’d be well within his rights to hate me, but recently he’s been reaching out to me. I’ve been reaching out to him, too, and he’s responded. Every time we talk I want to cry from relief. I’m so happy he doesn’t hate me.
The other is the only dog I’ve ever had whom I chose to put down. She was the best dog I’d ever met but her pancreas had failed. She wasn’t eating and she was peeing blood, but what right did I have to decide her life was over? I hope I spared her some suffering.
Recently my nephew talked to me about my ex-dog. My goodness were there some emotions that night.

Okay so I cry about everything, but this year the thing that has made me cry the most (and most recently) is heated rivalry. Even on my umpteenth reheat. No shame, I just love that show and I’m often overwhelmed by the amount of love within the show, that went into making that show, and that people feel towards it. Genuine joy is such a hard thing to come by these days.
Sun in my eyes and wind. Hard to cry when you know you are dead already.
I don’t understand why but a certain type of movie trailer or similar with dramatic music makes me cry a little, even if I think it’s a stupid movie trailer.
Last week I learned one of my cats (my first feline buddy) has cancer. He’s 14, so we are going to keep him as comfortable as we can until he’s in too much pain.
Worrying that my ADHD 8 yr old won’t have any friends that aren’t relatives because he is so weird with other kids and they lose patience with him.
Autistic and adhd here.
I do t have friends at 55 but found a wife who is the best person on the planet. It’s enough to just get one good one.
❤️ autistic, ADHD adult. I cried watching the movie “I swear” last night about a boy through to man with Tourettes syndrome. It’s too relatable just how hard life can be why you’re different. I liked the message of the movie though which was that the disability isn’t the problem, it’s the lack of education for society that puts up the barriers. A lot of truth in that.
I hope your son finds people who he connects with without having to change who he is.
It’s a lonely life.
One of my kids said thank you for some work I did to help them.
It’s hard being a parent. Even a little gratitude can go a long way.
Trump survived another possible assassination attempt
Well, my mom died two weeks ago and my girlfriend of eight years left me this week, I suspect once the shock wears off the flood gates will open.
My input is meaningless, but thought it might be worth sharing from experience that everyone processes grief differently, and in their own time.
A support network helps, whether that be friends, family, or even a professional. Doesn’t need to be right away, but having someone to talk to or confide in when the time is right can help with managing grief in a healthy way before the proverbial levee breaks.
been there. when my dad died my girlfriend of 6 years left me for being ‘too depressed and no fun to be around’. i was going to ask her to marry me before he got really sick.
she was an awful human being.
HUG
Watching The Pitt, season 1 hit me in the gut
Telling my therapist that my birthday is coming up and I just wish there was one person besides my dad who would wish me a happy birthday or want to go hiking or something with me on my birthday but I don’t have any friends or anyone in my life who would even know I have a birthday.
Happy early birthday! You’ll find your people one day, don’t give up :)
It shouldn’t be too hard to find people to go on a hike. Maybe look around for local hiking communities?
Friends aren’t magic, they don’t appear out of thin air, you have to find them and make them yourself. Go out, find a group, and let things happen
I’ve been working on making connections and trying to spend time with people. I definitely don’t sit around at home and hide away. Friendships also don’t just happen out of thin air, and I don’t have any yet.
Yet!
