One thing I feel sad about right now is....
I feel 😢 that my Aunt Roses passed away. Today is her Celebration of Life gathering. Its like I only see my cousins for funerals and weddings, but mostly funerals.
@orangeStrawberries8214
I'm sorry to hear about your aunt.
I often feel as though I only see some of my family members at funerals too.
@neatBalloon7178 Thank you for your condolences.
@orangeStrawberries8214
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I hope your aunt's Celebration of Life comforted you and the family during this time.
I understand only seeing family at weddings and funerals -- it seems to compound the sadness (at least for me).
How about dropping your cousins a good old-fashion note in the mail saying how nice it was to see them again and you wish it was under happier circumstance. Maybe encourage a get together to celebrate family-ties in the future?
Take care.

@diplomaticconfucious ✍️ to my cousins saying it was nice to see them; but wish it was under better circumstances is an excellent idea. Thank you!
@orangeStrawberries8214 Im sorry for your loss, I know how you feel. I also often see that I only see my family at funerals and reunions
@LeanOnMeWhenYourNotStrong93 Thank you for your condolences.
The fact I feel like Ive lost myself ,who I was before I developed my anxiety &depression and everything I went through in the past year
@Dobado34
I get where you are coming from -- losing the person who you used to be.
Is there anything you used to do that you want to reclaim?
Someone once told me -- our lives are like fruiting trees. Sometimes we have to prune away the deadwood to keep it healthy and the tree won't be wasting energy on something it shouldn't. Sometimes we have to prune away living wood, so we can be healthy and happy and let the best branches flourish. Sometimes we have to prune back to where the main trunk is and let the branches grow back to be nurtured for what we want in our lives. Once we have the healthiest branches, we nourish them, they will bear fruit - and often beyond our wildest imagination.
Stay strong -- you harvest will come in.

Losing my best friend first year of university which was 5 years ago. She has changed so much. We were very close and I could party with her, have late night talks like real talks, and just hang out you know. She only lived 5 mins away. When we broke it off, it hurt bad. Like I felt my chest ripping and the worst part of it all I don't know if she ever felt the same way. Like an idiot I kept waiting and remained hopeful.. for 1 whole year till I finally realized it's really over. It sucks.
I had 4 seizures yesterday. I am slowly realizing that I can't have a normal life and finding work may not happen. I'm miserable.
I feel sad that I texted him back after trying to end communications, and that he texted yesterday. I texted him back today and asked if he wants to continue communications, he doesn't reply. It makes me sad. He was so smart and I like his insights. The only way for me to feel like it doesn't matter is when I think that he might have lied about his identity since he lives in another state and remembering how his face looked like because I didn't like how his face looked like. He was not good-looking. I knew that if I did get in a relationship with him, it would have been settling anyway. >:(
So I think I will be fine. It didn't matter. Fuck it. I don't care if nobody loves me. I don't need to be with anyone.

@anonyTown2843
lets hope they are right
@Kristentries89 you never know what could be if you dont try ,doing something youve never done before is gonna be scary for anyone and that definitely doesnt make you a loser.ive felt like how youre feeling and Im 23 it doesnt matter your age have a little faith in yourself. Dont give up you still have tons of time to do whatever your heart desires
@Dobado34
thanks for saying that
@Kristentries89 Youre still young; give yourself sometime to find yourself. Maybe your path in life isnt determined yet. I lived with my mother until I was 34, and then married my wonderful and caring husband. I had been in college, but it didnt work out- it wasnt meant to be. Thats when I met my now husband.
My soulmate is not here she's gone
@proactiveTiger1857 what do you mean gone?
@Dobado34 we separated we were getting married next year.
@proactiveTiger1857 well if shes gone maybe she wasnt your soulmate and youll find the right one! Weve all met someone who weve been in love with ,when those loves dont work out its devastating and your heart breaks..but theres someone out there for everyone
The car is in the shop, the mechanic called... and the bill is looking to be quite hefty before even getting the quote to replace bald tyres.
Guess the cats get another month or two reprieve from visiting the vet. 
I seem to of lost respect for somebody important in my life. Its been really hard for me to find love and kindness for that person…Its sad for the others around us. :(
That my friend stopped being friends with me, but is friends with my friend. It just hurts!
@azureBeach7292 everything happens for a reason right?
