A note from BlogTeam: When offering comfort or advice to BlogClanners, please be advised to steer clear of religious-based consolation. While you may have the best intentions, the best advice is one that the reader can most readily relate to. Remember, not everyone believes or should rightfully believe in the same tradition that you do.
I feel horrible and confused. I have broken a cup and no-one in my family has done that for years, and then I caused breakfast to be a mess and confusing, and then mom said I was too shakey to wash dishes because of the accident. I am sad because I broke a dish, and confused because I am feeling about a thousand other small feelings mixed into one big, icky one
I took a little drive because I was getting too depressed at home. Well, the little coffee shop I usually go to is just making me more depressed because there’re a lot of people here who have friends and I have no friends. One of my best friends is ghosting me and I have no idea why.
