I'm glad I talked myself into the gym.
Incoming vent:
Birthday being next week, it's a real rough time to be honest. I can't help but think about how I don't have any family to spend time with. I know I'm not the only one in this position, but still feels bad.
When I was unemployed, I lost a couple of really close friends who I usually hang out with, but I'm grateful for the people in my life that I do have.
It sounds funny, but I've kinda felt like a stray human since I was young.
Things could always be worse, and I try to keep that in mind. I just have moments of weakness where I wish for things that seem so out of grasp.

We'll be here!
Also, yes people may have it worse, but it's a very human thing to want to satisfy our need for connection and belonging. It is not weak.
