I have plenty to be grateful for, but today…
Today is a time of mourning
“”" I’m frustrated
Depressed
Angry
My friend passed and have not been eating
Just doing that, just water and coffee
Gained 5 lbs"“”
If i feel this bad, i know his whole family feels bad too
It’s not comforting because he would not put up with “THOSE OF US” carrying on
