There were a LOT of weddings in 2024.

Pandemic happened. Then we started trying to relive life again in 2023, but in small doses. Then 2024 happened and all the invites.

The small 20-30 weddings were fine. The 100+ one SUCKED. One boomer wheezing coughed everywhere and people were just touching and spitting on all the desserts. Not to mention alcohol, being so close to election month, and people not remembering how to socialize led to some wild statements.

Post wedding, I took a two week PTO and just played Elden Ring to cope.

Ex left me during the most stressful time in my grad school career and took a bunch of my stuff while I was recovering with family. They also almost stole my dog but I had to threaten a police report to get him back. Then my parents got sick and lost their jobs because of the sickness, so I basically had to take a year out of school to help do damage control. Only good thing is that I started dating again and met someone who I’d love to spend the rest of my life with but my school is on the opposite side of the country. I really don’t know I was supposed to get out of this year but I wanted to die so many times.

Was eating a bacon sandwich at a local park cafe when I started choking on a fatty piece that got stuck in my throat. Luckily a man next to me had just done a first aid course so knew what to do.

Let’s see, the big two were a home invasion and a crazy lady violating my boundaries and manipulating me for a few months.

But it’s not my first time with trauma so I know how to keep moving and not let it stop me. Socks, but I choose to live and heal

I can pass out semi randomly because of POTS, I’ve nearly fallen down large flights of stairs multiple times this year.

I’ve also seen the white light after getting a hormone booster in the hospital, not sure how close it was but when I got back the amount of nurses and doctors next to my bed had multiplied significantly.
