I'm glad I talked myself into the gym.
Incoming vent:
Birthday being next week, it's a real rough time to be honest. I can't help but think about how I don't have any family to spend time with. I know I'm not the only one in this position, but still feels bad.
When I was unemployed, I lost a couple of really close friends who I usually hang out with, but I'm grateful for the people in my life that I do have.
It sounds funny, but I've kinda felt like a stray human since I was young.
Things could always be worse, and I try to keep that in mind. I just have moments of weakness where I wish for things that seem so out of grasp.

We'll be here!
Also, yes people may have it worse, but it's a very human thing to want to satisfy our need for connection and belonging. It is not weak.
It'll be okay, the birthday sads are real. You belong, and I'll be coming to celebrate. We can make our own families :D
We are your chosen family my friend, we'll always be here for you. You're fine, you will be fine, and what you're feeling right now is completely normal β€οΈ
Also happy birthday for next week!
Yeah mum used to say something like that β€οΈ
