my (great) uncle died yesterday. the news wasn’t particularly shocking given his lifetime of alcoholism but the manner in which said news was delivered to me was particularly jarring.
i hadn’t spoken to him in 13 years and although it wasn’t particularly intentional i am feeling sad and mad about it. that side of the family is hard
“i have news, nothing terrible” generally means “nobody died” in my experience but what do i know
my 25th birthday is tomorrow. i have experienced so much Change in the last two years and it seems like this year will be no different. i can only hope that it will be the good kind
i’ve always been the friend to take care of other people, and while that is a core personality trait of mine i have spent the last year learning how and when to put myself first and i’m very proud of myself for that. being a human is hard
i squatted 170lbs today
tomorrow ten of my friends will come over and we’ll get korean bbq and then drink copious amounts of alcohol thanks to carefully crafted cocktails by kai who doesn’t drink but does make fantastic drinks
today my best friend and her boyfriend flew in from colorado- one of the probably two times a year that i see her. we drank margaritas and ate tacos with babo and cass and laughed and told stories. it was a very good night
i’ll probably process some things in the next few days but for now i am grateful to have so many wonderful people who care about me
