I know that words can change when it comes to colloquial meaning and use, but I don’t like the change with “aesthetic”. Something isn’t “aesthetic”, it’s “aesthetically pleasing”. I’ve been trying to not be irritated by this change, but it’s not growing on me like I thought it would.

We’re in that part of the year I hate where I dread my upcoming birthday knowing it will be a disappointment.

It’s rather depressing that, on a dating app, my first clue to someone being spam or a scam is a compliment on my appearance.

Why is it a thing on dating apps to be asked to chat on WhatsApp instead? I don’t understand why we can’t just text since I need your number for WhatsApp anyway.

Went to the movies alone twice this week. Today I was the only person in the theater. It was strange, but also kind of awesome.

So it’s been just over a month since I blocked the ex I remained friends with. Now the ex before him unblocked me on Facebook and shows as someone I might know. Fuck that. I blocked his ass.

Heather told me today that Dad told her that he’s prayed to be with Mom a couple times so he’s basically prayed to die.
That’s a lot.
That’s a lot.

Not that this is new information to me, but I had a moment this morning where it dawned on me that it’s been two years of being Dad’s primary caregiver. Holy shit.

These Saturdays where I haven’t had plans have been the hardest days. I know I need to get through them though. It just hasn’t been easy.

Anti-fascism is priority, thus it's necessary to acknowledge the status quo ante is a big failure, and not go the same path again.

Each day should be easier than the last, right? Well, the email from his coworker/friend ruined the sense of security I had been lulled into. I thought maybe he was taking the silence as the message it is, but he clearly played a part in the email beyond giving out my email address.

Sure it’s been only two weeks since I went no contact and blocked his number, but we haven’t see each other in over a month. This weekend, for the first time, I miss him a little. No regrets about my decision though. There should never have been a friendship after we broke up in 2021.
