I tried to have a good day. I got told i was awkward and hard to be friends with? Some lady accused my dog of attacking hers when he hasn’t left my side all day. I am a responsible dog owner and she’s trying to blame me because her dog ran off and got hurt? I tried to eat. I tried to make friends. I tried I tried I tried. Why cant i just have one summer go the way it was promised? I had a good day yesterday. This is probably karma or smthn.

I want to be whole but I am hollow. I feel nothing. I am empty.

cw// pet loss

my partners childhood dog was put down this morning he lived a long happy life and it was just time.
i’ve known this dog for 5 years so it does feel hard, he was the best guy ever. he’s now back with his best friend and he’s probably able to run on all 4 legs again

i’ve been seeing pet loss quotes on tiktok recently but i didn’t realize it was a sign. i saw this one about how this person came home to a half bag of dog food after they lost their dog,,, what do you do with the rest of it? what do you do with all of his toys? i grieve for his family today, i think about them and hold them close to my heart today <3

this is also my first personal experience with loss so i have a lot of feelings right now,,,, every time i walked into my bf’s house his dog would be laying by the door, he’d look at me and wag his tail :,) it’s gonna hurt the first time i don’t see that thank goodness i’m seeing my therapist tomorrow

hopefully we’ll meet again big guy

Rejection, three close people moving in the past month, and struggling with self doubt

It's selfish to say this, for the people who actually deal with it and wish they didn't have to, but I kind of wish I was in a family where I might have been forced into something, even if I didn't want it, so that maybe I would have something to show for myself. Some sort of talents. I was watching videos of piano players and was just thinking like, if I had been doing this since I was a child I might be good at it now. But I can hardly learn it now, even if I want to. I grew up with very relaxed parents about that sort of thing, but that made me grow up to have no real skills or talents.

stop gaslighting me. you want to be the one to do something so don't blame me for it going bad when you don't keep up with it and then put words in my mouth. it doesn't make any sense?

i'm tired of getting gaslighted dawg

I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
Only if you knew how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather

I've been struggling a lot lately with seeing eye to eye with my service dog. I know there's a lot of stress and tension as some people have taken fourth of July to mean ALL of July lately (seriously. five nights of fireworks so far.), and that's not helping. But we're both worked up and anxious and it's helping neither of us.

I've tried compression garments for her, and taking time away from the screen to work on art for me, but as I'm in crunch time right now I genuinely am bouncing back and forth between tasks nonstop.

I have a few stressful items coming up and/or going on right now:
-My first model horse show is in August, and I still have a ton of prep to do.
-Finances aren't great but I'm aware that this is an ongoing struggle for me.
-Camp NaNoWriMo is ongoing at the moment and I'm doing a double.
-I am on not one. not two. but THREE competitive gaming teams, so practices are a constant thing daily.
-I am attempting to work on multiple language learning programs with multiple languages.
-I'm trying to better maintain and clean up my apartment.

Add to this last point that my husky is molting and isn't exactly the most tidy of creatures.

As for the model show, I am still working on painting several models I plan to show, along with cleaning and packing everyone who will be going. I also need to tag everyone and this means setting up the tags. They all need the horse name, the horse breed, the horse gender, and my tag code. I have two tag codes so to avoid headaches I am just giving them all both and hyphenating it, so an average tag looks like this:
Justin
Morgan
Stallion
FFF-KIW
with FFF-KIW standing for Flying Fox Farms (my model stable name) - Kiwi (my first service dog's name), since it's pretty distinctive.

I'm just. Really worked up and struggling to calm down.

Another issue is finances and as you probably know, food prices are outrageous right now. Bread, which used to be 1.78, is now 4.38. This would be understandable... if this wasn't for the brand that literally has the bakery in my town and pays absolutely nothing in shipping or transport costs. Most meat is at $12 a pound, which is impossible to afford. Food stamps is currently $80 a month and I'm spending over 200$ a month for just one person. I'm really bitter about this since I am on disability and that extra 120 comes out of my pet care, clothing replacement, and utility funds. This means I literally can't save anything most months, and I want to get a name change and afford to travel next year. I'm already "out" as my new name which is nice but I want it to be my LEGAL name sooner rather than later. Thankfully, my awesome bosses insist on calling me my new name and correct others on my name, which is so incredible.

Thanks for listening to my vent. I needed that.
