Last time I mentioned a reason to hate this place. But like I said, it's got it's ups and downs. So, I figured that this time I'd talk about the good. Aside from the fact that I feel like I fall in love at least once a day with the new sets coming out, I've actually had the chance to talk to some cool people....

You're one of my favorite people on the site as well; I was thrilled when you came back! I'm so glad to see you writing again!

This place has always been such a mixed bag of experiences. I bounce back and forth between loving and hating it. But every place has it's ups and downs.

A while ago, I got a random message from a hopeful. It started normal, they said they were new, and hoped it was alright to message me. I decided to respond, hoping for conversation. Then the,...

So, two days ago was the day. It's hard to believe it's been a month since I lost him. I'm in a slightly better place now. It's still painful. I miss my little buddy so much. It's been harder than I thought, because I never realized how much of what I do, or how many habits I developed, were about my cat.

Now, here's where...

Losing a beloved friend is the hardest thing ever.Ā  Occasionally I'll hear what sounds like my dog sighing; she would always let out a huge sigh when she would lay down like life dog life was the most difficult ever.Ā  I miss my dogs more than anything in the world, I totally understand where you're coming from.

So, I've been playing No Man's Sky for about a week and a half now. Since my little buddy passed away. I'm about 40ish hours into it now. I think it's been helpful. It's an amazing game. For something that was so universally hated when it released, it's really enjoyable. Considering they've spent 5 years updating and improving it, it's not surprising. One thing that...

So, it's been a week since my little buddy passed. He's home now. For the moment, he's resting up on my desk. I haven't decided if he'll stay there or not. I got him a special urn.

They also sent this with his ashes. I wasn't expecting it. It's a nice little memento of my Pilz-e.

I feel like I'm going to need to take

@oldernow @babel @shalil

I just want to say thank you for your kind words. I'm finally at a point where looking at my profile picture doesn't bring tears to my eyes, so that's a start. I'm just grateful that my little old man cared enough that he wanted to say goodbye, and that he didn't want me to see him go. I took him to...

I can only imagine how devastating it can be to lose a pet 😭 I've never experienced it but simply the thought of losing my dog makes me feel so bad. But I'm sure your cat spent a great life with you <3 I send you a kiss, try to stay strong šŸ’—

You were happy together, that's the important. Hugs ā¤ļø

I fully intended on taking my little man to the vet as soon as they opened this morning. Still about 3 hours from now, not that it matters. My amazing cat climbed up onto the bed one last time about 2 hours ago. I sat with him for a while, until he suddenly jumped up and wanted down. I carefully put him on the floor,...

I'm pretty sure my cat is dying. He hasn't been eating, and earlier he was walking in a daze, mouth agape, eyes glazed over, and he was, and still is, breathing in a very labored way. But he came back. He's lucid again, he meowed at me a couple times. But I know he must be in pain. I can't take him to the vet...

I'm so sorry 😄

I'm really sorry to read this. Same happened to me last March with my baby Almendra (she was only 5 years old but she had cancer) 😪 It's awful, it's hard...but please, don't be selfish. Pets only give us love, support, friendship...the ultimate act of love we can do for them is letting them go without pain. He doesn't deserve to suffer. It's gonna hurt, yes, but remember all those years together šŸ–¤ Wanna know what I did with the ashes? I bought a plant and a purple pot and know she's blooming...she's still at home.

Feel like I should be writing... I'm getting better. More writing has been done lately than has been done in a long time. Still slow going though.

Kind of just screaming into the void with these now. I've apparently worn out my welcome with people... in general. So, no one much responds to anything these days. Online, on phone... in person...

But it is oddly...

I had been talking to this woman I met on reddit. It was a penpals subreddit, so I wasn't looking for anything more than a friend. And it began innocently enough, we just talked about whatever random shit we felt like. Went on that way for a few months before she started getting flirty. I'm bad at that kind of thing, so it took a...
