She actually didn’t want a hug yesterday. Maybe she feels less upset about being alone or in her cat condo. I miss her hugs, but I’m glad that she’s adjusting better. She also didn’t cry when I had to say goodbye. Her crying broke my heart.
It sadly doesn’t look like I’m in a good position to adopt Luna, but I do have good news about her. The shelter moved her to a different condo across the room, and she can now see the hallway and watch birds. She’s getting much calmer and hissing less. She even played with a toy the other day.
missed connection: I was walking past the mirror in the hallway. you were different than I expected. a vision of who I might have been, if things had been different. if the world had been kinder
At some point I’ll probably just say “screw it” and try hard to be more authentic. It’s difficult because people get oddly vicious about harmless differences, and I’m sensitive. People sometimes get dismissive about my hobbies and interests, or they get competitive, and I find both unpleasant.
fun date idea: I listen intently to every word that you say. I make silent note of the things that interest you. I shape my side of the conversation to appeal to what you want to hear. I offer nothing real of myself. I do not need to. your eyes soften when you turn to me. I know that it is working
This is exactly it.
What I say is honest but it’s only one or two facets of me at first, and I might downplay other facets if I get a negative reaction about them. I’m not being fake, but I’m not being my whole self, either.
The people closest to me have to at least accept that most of those facets are there.
Same! I realize I do this to an extent with most people 😬
I'm proud of you for making it through 2023. Things are weird hard scary and stacked against us right now; you surviving is defiance. The most punk thing you can do in 2024 is survive. The goal is just to be here, to exist, and to be part of the Stentorian choir of kindness and change
Love you so🫶

terms like "white collar" and "blue collar" are nearly meaningless at this point, instead i plot all jobs on an axis of "has holidays off/works holidays" and "general public thinks they should have holidays off/general public thinks they should be forced to work"
Thank you! I’d love to adopt Luna, but I want to make sure we can meet her needs.
Awwww!
Thank you! I really hope so too!
I know, right? 🥺❤️
I’m an introvert with an anxious attachment style and I almost always hate canceled plans. I also don’t usually relate to the “introvert” memes about hating people in general.
My hot take: If you make plans across a variety of situations and consistently feel happy/relieved if those plans are canceled, introversion is possible, but it’s also possible that you have an avoidant attachment style.
I really wish I had data on this.
Al I want for Christmas is for Joe Biden to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
I adore this cat that I met at the humane society. Someone surrendered Luna at 8 years old. She was completely dejected at first but is learning to trust again. She loves hugs and being held for 30+ minutes at a time.
I’m tempted to adopt her, but am trying to make sure my own situation allows it.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I hope everyone has a lovely day ❤️

I’m excited because I have Scream, The Social Network, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on hold at the library. I haven’t seen any of those movies yet.
My sister and I recently watched Eraserhead, Jennifer’s Body, and Midsommar. I had seen Midsommar already but it was worth rewatching.

I remember the first time I had caffeine. My uncle gave me a can of Pepsi at his house when I was maybe 8 or so, and I was like Mom Mom Mom!! What is this drink! Can we have it at home?! Mom! MOM MOM why aren’t you answering me??
