I know you’re not my partner because the details don’t quite match up, but this gave me a chuckle because he could have written most of this. Hope the rest of your week goes smoothly!
Hugs to you. I dated someone with schizophrenia for a bit. Ended up breaking up with her for unrelated reasons (I was a bit of a mess myself at the time), but I can still feel the terror of trying to keep her safe when she had completely disconnected.
I have had many times when I can relate to all of this.
I hope this comes off as intended - not trying to belittle your experience, hopefully make you chuckle - but have you considered a rap career?
Haven’t gone to the gym or been outside, and eating junk. Hard habits to break when I get into a funk.
Thanks for the update! I’m flying Delta home in two days, and from the website you posted, it looks like they have their shit sorted now. I hope you’re able to get the compensation you’re entitled to receive.
That’s so cool that she could give them those wishes! My friend died suddenly, so he didn’t pass any wishes on, but the four of us talked a lot, and we all felt at peace that we were honoring him in the way he would have wanted.
That sounds perfect!
This sounds stressful AF. I haven’t been following too closely, but from what I’ve gathered, airlines aren’t really reimbursing hotels and whatnot?
Ugh, moving is so hard, no matter what the circumstances. I hope someday soon you’re going to be all moved in and have that good night’s sleep of starting a new chapter.
True that. I’m also trying to learn and grow and realizing that I am very very scared of being authentically me, and interactions with a wide variety of people make it easier to put bits and pieces of myself out there, but they never really quite add up. So it’s a bit of a crutch that I’m leaning on. I finally got off the wait list for a therapist, so that will be a thing to bring up for sure!
Hey, it went really well, thanks for asking. Found a nice spot a little off the trail to sit a bit and take our time with it. I feel like no one talks about how much ashes stick to things. I’m pretty sure I still have some bits of Corbin on my backpack, but I’m good with that. 😂
Alaska’s been good to me. We found a really nice place to spread my friend’s ashes. It was just off the trail and a very peaceful spot for the four of us to sit for awhile and figure out what we wanted to say and how we wanted to go about the whole thing.
I’ve been on the road solo since the 16th. Met some really cool people in very brief periods of time. Not sure why I crave these transient experiences so much, but there’s something about them that is so good for my soul.
Finishing up an Alaskan cruise. This is the complete opposite of how I usually travel and likely something I will never do again. That said, it has overall been an incredible time with some wonderful companions.
Tomorrow, we will pick up my friend’s ashes at a post office in Anchorage, and the next day we will head to Kenai Fjords National Park. He made it to 49 states, so we’re bringing him to the 50th.
So cool! Thanks so much for the write up!
The past two weeks were amazing, and I’m an Orff Level 3 certified teacher now! Also last night I finally made it back to that little karaoke spot I found about a month ago. The owner is such a cool lady and there’s this wonderful feeling of community I’ve felt totally welcomed into. It will be another month before I’m able to go back since I’m about to do some traveling, but I definitely anticipate it being a regular haunt for me.
Congrats on taking control of your mental health and distancing yourself from people who make that hard to do. I hope you’re able to have some fun times with your coworkers!
Thanks for the jolly ranchers! Always happy to chat, even if not on the same wavelength. I think that sometimes making connections across different wavelengths can be pretty enlightening!
