omg honey i'm so glad you're okay, of course you can grieve a car, don't be too hard on yourself <3
;A; Thank you so much. I think I’ll compare any car I ever own after this to that one. It was wonderful. I already miss it.

The first car I bought with my own money, I drove until it was getting old, then passed it on to my kid who didn’t appreciate it. I still think about that Toyota with great fondness.
Entirely understandable! Yeah, this one was the same. I feel like I put so much into it and got so much back. It was the enabler of many adventures and many wonderful new twists and turns in my life. Toyota for the win! Mine was an old Prius.

<33333333 You’re the best, thank you. I don’t think I really understood how much I needed to know that it was okay to feel so messed up about it.

omg im SOOO glad you're all right!! Terribly sorry about your car, especially since you held such fondness for it. ;A; I'm so sorry this happened.
Thank you! I was really lucky to be wearing a huge thick coat over the thick sweater and extremely thick scarf, so the seatbelt bruising wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been. Ahhh, yeah, I’m gonna miss the heck out of my little car. I didn’t really think I was one to get attached to inanimate objects, but apparently I really really had a soft spot for that old thing. Thank you more than I can ever say for the super sweet message! <3 ;___;

I’m so sorry that that happened!! I’m so glad you’re okay, but I completely understand being overwhelmed. That’s a lot to deal with. I’m trying my best to send good vibes your way. I hope you feel better soon. And of course you can grieve your car! Anything that you’re feeling is natural and valid, and lots of people are very attached to their cars. Also, I totally know what it feels like to question urself - but pls try not to beat yourself up! We can only try our best; sometimes sucky things just happen. I hope things get better for you really soon. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You’re so kind and your support means everything to me. Good vibes absolutely received. I hope you know that you’re wonderful. Thank you thank you thank you ;A; <333

Hugs. I'm so sorry this happened to you, but I'm really glad you're ok and the other person is ok (you know, physically). First cars are a little like first loves, in my experience. So yeah, it makes sense that you're grieving your car.
*hugs back!* Thank you. I’m really glad, too! It could have been much worse than the loss of a car, and I had a chance to sit down and do a bit of planning for where I need to go next, which feels like letting go but was also quite a relief. I don’t think I’ll ever stop comparing future cars to my first one (I love your analogy, by the way??), but it enabled some amazing adventures. :D Thank you for taking the time to write this message. You’re unspeakably wonderful! <333
