I have no right to complain or be ungrateful. My life, as it is today, is pretty good. I have found a dwelling that satisfies all needs, location comforts me even in my darkest days. I have two amazingly annoying cats, who seem to care for my affection, at least they do at 4 a.m. My work is challenging enough to keep all sense of idleness at bay. At the same time it doesn't torture me with stress or lack of motivation. I have enough time in the daylight to do my crafts or waste time on random useless endeavors, such as this blog post years after my last one. My immediate family has not grown neither shrunk. My sister's kid is the biggest ray of sunshine in my life, being his aunt will probably be my greatest achievement. And that is all fine by me.
And yet at this very moment in time and place, I am staring out the window and feel like I need a good cry.
Maybe it has something to do with the way things are going on Earth. Genocide in Gaza, war still going on in Ukraine, USA becoming a fascist regime. There's plenty to choose from. There are issues and problems that would bum out people with William's Disease.
And yet I think the reason is simply narcissism in my case. I just had my birthday and not one person outside of my immediate family and work life remembered it. I might be childish, but it's also no secret I love my birthday, getting older and wishing happy birthday as early in the day as possible. It breaks my heart, not just that no one remembered, but also that I am bothered by it. What a stupid thing to be sad about. I don't particularly like the fact that one of the main reasons that might be, is that I don't have social media at the moment. I find it moronic we as friends and family need Facebook to tell us when our loved ones are celebrating important events. And how am I do call you my best friend if I never cross your mind without that reminder?
I know I should not care this much about it, but I truly feel hurt and am in need of a good long cry. So, Sleep Token in the background and cursor hovering over the most depressing documentary I can find is the way I will go.
Or maybe I just need some sleep.
