Held Together By Thread
5 years ago
Sometimes, all I know how to do is carry on like normal...
I am sure we are all feeling it. The stress of the pandemic, the election, the general state of the world.
I just wanted to be honest that I'm not alright. I'm holding it together, and I will likely pull through this, but I am so damned exhausted. I buried one of my friends recently, he was someone I really looked up to as a mentor.
I'm going to get my will in order, just in case. I already have a life insurance policy through my work, but I want to prepared. I don't know how many more funerals I'm going to be attending before I finally get to my own.
I know this sounds grim and very depressing, but this is the reality we have to face.
So... yeah. I might not be the most chipper version of myself for a while.
Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, we are not guaranteed any amount of time this Earth.

I wanted to say that, I appreciate you so very much. You've only been so kind and wonderful to me and this world is lucky to have you in it.
It is rough right now. It's okay to not be okay.
The one thing that has helped me is knowing that time marches forward no matter what and because of that, change is inevitable.
Things will get worse, but they will get better too.
Please take care of yourself and thank you for your wonderful rat-baby posts in discord- they have been such a fun source of positivity.

Thankfully my work has offered us an extra day off to take, but everyone always complains about doing my job...
