Hiya! How have you been doing? If you've seen these, you know whats up. If you're new, these threads are for you to tell us about something cool going on in your life, or vent about anything you might want to!
For me, not a ton going on. Things are going well with the new partner, and we spent the holiday together. Chilling back at home the rest of this week, and am getting back to writing music! Still no luck with jobs, starting to apply to some lower level things just to get back to work of some sort. Shit's rough out there, been about 5 months now, and I know that ain't shit compared to what others have been going through employment wise. Watching more anime lately, so that's been fun, working through Space Dandy now.
The corgi sends her solidarity and snuggles!
Hope you've all been well! Remember, you are loved 
I'm doing better than I have in the past, but still not great. This time of year reminds me of the people I've lost, though I could say that about most of the rest of the year too. It was one of my best friend's birthday a couple weeks ago so I drove out to his grave for the first time since his funeral last March. I saw other people had been there recently, they left flowers. I brought some of his favorite snacks and shared them with him. The whole visit was more cathartic than I expected which surprised me, I never felt like I got anything out of visiting my brother's grave. I don't know what's different this time.
Glad you have a nice experience with that. Sorry for your loss
Thanks you
, it's not easy losing someone you've known since childhood. He struggled with addiction since highschool, not that I saw it as that back then, and he eventually lost. I was by his side the whole time, right up to the end.
I don't think I believe in an afterlife, but it would be nice to see him again.
Edit: I'm really glad to hear things are going better with you, I hope this isn't overstepping boundaries but I was really happy to hear that you were making progress with your own struggles! I hope you had a really nice holiday with your new partner!
