What made you sad today? v.IV

[Jock]

Hopefully coming back for a month as soon as next summer.

It's valentines day and I discover that my ex now has a new partner, and it feels extremely weird... gut wrenching in fact.

Had the best valentines day afternoon a girl could wish for; Throat deep in Mercedes' junk.
And then I found out the forum rework robbed us of Comic Sans too.

 

[Jock]

Didn't know you were called Mercedes around these parts.

I ended up getting drunk with my flatmate and passing out on the couch. Not too shabby.

How long since you became exes? Probably gonna take a while before you stop giving ****s altogether and that's normal.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Maybe you never will, growing old and bitter on the memories, while wonderful oppurtunities fly by you without even noticing!

Didn't know you were called Mercedes around these parts.

But that would imply I was the one having fun! Yeah, yeah, I know, the joke fell flat on multiple fronts.
My sense of humour is all outta whack.

 

[Jock]

Don't worry, I knew it was a stretch myself.

Anyway, speaking of sad: existential crisis and not having a clue about what I want to do with my life in general. 'sup

relatable issue

 

[IA]

Took care of beloved ones with bad cancers for the last 2 years or so. I took sabbatical and never left their sides during that time. It was always at best a delaying action, but they gave the best accounting they could. They both had the strength of will to do no less. Lost the Woman in mid September, and my Father in early August of last year. Some days are better the others. Some days are horrendous. Today is one of the latter. That hollowness that rises from the depths of your chest and up into sides of jaw.

 

[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]

sorry, mate.

 

[Krik]

You're a good person for doing what you did man, I know that's probably no consolation but it takes a lot of integrity to care for people in that situation and not find a way out of it. I'm sorry for your losses man.

IA, I can relate and I'm very sorry for your losses. My condolences.

 

[Arvenski]

IA, that's awful. I'm sorry, too.

 

[Dante.]

You're a good man IA, that's all I can say.

I find that the lows of life hurt so much more than the highs help. Those sorts of lows will probably be painful for the rest of your life, but they'll be less frequent and less painful as time moves on. Hang in there, mate.

Uderzo passed away at 92. Damn.

I shall raise a toasted bread to him for some excellent work. His writing is horrifically terrible and most of the Asterix books got worse after Goscinny died, but his illustrations and creative process worked excellently as a duo. A great cartoonist.

Lockdown whilst my family are unreachable.
Probably relatable

 

[Abraxium]

You´re in the UK? Where are you and where is your family situated?

Me, reading in a flat w friends
Family, town near North London

Public transport to there is blocked off and lockdown started in London and Reading before the rest of the UK so I've been trapped here eating **** for over a week. \o/

Good, there are certainly worse ways to spend one's time indoors.

Good Lord! You are allowed to go to the shops for food, you know!
