Bad Days

Bad days

[drawing of a green squid saying “I won’t feel this way forever. One day, I’ll be happy again.” in a green speech bubble.]

I just tested positive for covid on Tuesday. I'm quadruple vaxxed, with a decent immune system, so I'm rapidly on the mend. But, objectively, it has sucked.

You know what hasn't sucked? Sharing a home with someone who cares for me and wants me to get better. And living with someone like that may never cease to amaze me.

Still trying to figure out how to go out and be social without feeling like I've taken up too much space/said the wrong thing.

I'm in my fucking 30s. Sorry to anyone who thought it would just go away...

Anger isn't scary. I'm still figuring that one out.

Someone should address the people who say hateful things and make cartoonishly bad arguments. But I'm not that someone.

There are professionals and people much smarter than me to take out that trash.

I lived with an abuser for a decade; I recognize manipulation and when someone isn't arguing in good faith.

They use the same tactics. So I'll deal with them the way I dealt with the abuser.
