yesterday was such a day for my aggressively protective streak. and i feel like that sounds cute of me or whatever but like. these are the moments i get most angry. few things give me a bigger emotional reaction than when i’m feeling protective over someone i love. not great. a friend of mine that i hadn’t heard from in a while finally texted me to tell me what was going on with him and it was BAD, like multiple people had seriously mistreated him, and i got so fucking mad about it because i care about him so much that i had to disengage for a sec like i put my phone down and took deep breaths and then had to go distract myself so i didn’t do anything stupid lmao.
luckily i had just started making cookies when i got the text, because my wife had a terrible fucking day at work (rage, don’t even get me started on this) and i had ordered her pizza from this pizza place that has really good cookies but they DIDN’T DELIVER THE COOKIES. no cookies??? for the love of my life on her terrible day??? are you fucking kidding me??? no. so obviously i was extremely irritated by this and just baked her some instead because my recipe is fairly similar to the restaurant’s, and it ended up serving as a distraction from my other protectiveness rage scenario. because the world is out to get my loved ones apparently.
unfortunately there isn’t anything i can do for my friend’s situation except support him emotionally, which i will do, but. fuck.
