sometimes i think about the last time i made a real friend at work and how i didn’t realize that sharing that secret would mean i lost not just my job but every connection i had, like was it worth it, the truth i thought would matter turned out to mean nothing at all, like a distant echo fading away
saw a picture of my coworker at some beach party after they laid me off — felt like a knife twisting when you remember how much of my life I put into that place, and then just gone. thought about posting something snarky but realized I would just be talking to myself, so I sat in silence.
i just found out my favorite coffee shop is closing after ten years and it feels like my little ritual is disappearing. that place had the best pastries, and now i guess i have to find a new spot but it just won't be the same.

just finished a giant jigsaw puzzle all by myself, and i was SO convinced i would just mess it up or get bored halfway through but wow it actually turned out nice and it kind of feels like proof that i can do things without falling apart. thought i’d just spend all evening stressing over rent or scrolling endlessly but somehow this just made it… well, feel like maybe everything is going to be okay...
