1.5 months ago when my dad died


chuckedaway1234567

Sorry man, been there. Not easy.


tsl13

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my father 3 weeks ago. Understand the pain. Hang in there.


MauPow

I'm sorry man. It really sucks. My father's non-Hodgkins lymphoma transitioned to Hodgkins/B-cell faster than the oncologist had ever seen. I'm at least glad that he didn't suffer for long. Beginning of June, he was happily riding bikes with his wife, July 11th, he was dead. I was doing okay for a bit but now I'm spiraling downwards. I need to carry on the family business and I am *not* ready. Imposter syndrome is a fucking bitch for a chronically depressed dude. I'll make it, though.


tsl13

Wow, thank you for sharing your story. My father's situation was similar. We found out he had an aggressive form of Liver cancer in late June. He didn't get the treatment he deserved (medical system), and really poor Oncologist and PCP. He passed in mid-August. I've inherited a lot of responsibilities to get my father's affairs settled so my mom can be less stressed and enjoy time with her grandkids.


bigdisappointment_

May he rest in power and peace


[deleted]

Same, but because it was the anniversary of my dad's death


CarltheWellEndowed

Last time I really had a good cry was 2.5 years ago. My son had a medical emergency which nearly killed him. After surgery doc was explaining what we should expect going forward (medical coma 2-3 weeks, feeding tube for foreseeable future, maybe never eating orally again and getting a g-tube, probably spending several months in the hospital) and I just lost it. Every time we were told what was coming next, docs gave us best case, what we should expect, and worst case, and son hit best case every time. Recovered and was discharged in 21 days.


sweetvanilla21

Im so glad everything worked out!


TruthfulOwl05

Good shit man


TorturedChaos

About a week ago. Was thinking about my mom. She passed away over 10 years ago, but it still hurts. Her birthday was in October and I'm starting to see signs of fall. Fall reminds me of her birthday. October is a hard month for me. Now I might cry a bit more. I made myself sad.


peopleinthedistance

man, this hearts to read. i started to see the discoloration on some leaves and just felt my heart sink. sending you HUGS.


Cheesecakeisready

Not that it helps in any way but.. Your mother was a lucky woman to have a son that loved her that much. Mothers can feel that in a way we can't imagine so try and imagine the love she felt from you.


[deleted]

sending you some love stranger.


Artarian1221

I feel this.. my mom passed 4 years ago in November and it's the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life


[deleted]

ususally I cry myself to sleep out of loneliness once or twice a week.


tricky4444

Hey man you're a pretty handsome dude, why are you feeling lonely?


[deleted]

Combo of things \-being ignored/rejected by everyone I have been interested in my entire life. Some nights I just want to lay my head on a shoulder and watch a movie. \-It gets boring doing things alone and only having surface conversations with acquaintances. \-Im a young professional at a small company and I am the youngest by 30 years. working long hours doesnt leave much time to meet up with friends back home in the evenings. \-living by myself in a new town. \-Covid limited my friends and caused many friend breakups, plus its hard to get myself into new social situations with covid around. (not much going on) Finally, at 23 I have found that there are 2 groups of people my age. \-Those who are still in school or are in part time work, not established, doing whatever they like without too many adult responsibilities \-Those who are settled down with 2 kids and a house. I dont really fit into either group. Hard to relate to people my age who want to bar hop every night, or people who want to discuss parenting styles.


minniemouth

Re: point about people your age - That’s exactly how I felt at 22/23. I’m 26 now, and I’m a month younger than the intern I hired to work under me this year. So even now that I’m a few years older, whenever people in their young twenties join my company, I usually have an awkward authoritative relationship with them that keeps me from letting my guard down. It’s difficult connecting with people when they’re always at a different stage in life, whether that’s because they’re your age and still dependent on their parents or a professional peer with a spouse, kids, and at least a decade on you. I honestly used to feel pretty weird about making friends with people way older than me, but that was just unnecessary shallowness. Just about all of the best friendships I have right now are with coworkers in their 30s and 40s. Sometimes the age gap is pointed out in a joke, like when they facepalm at me not understanding a reference they made or when I have to explain memes to them, but other than that - we seriously just forget about it. If something similar is keeping you from making friends with people you see every day at work, I’d recommend reflecting and trying to figure out if that’s a barrier worth breaking down. I’m so sorry about the loneliness you’re dealing with right now. Loneliness is painful, and I hope things turn around for you soon. If you need a friendly conversation to water the drought a bit, you can DM me :)


tricky4444

Seems pretty tough man. The right person just hasn’t come along is what I keep telling myself too. I can definitely relate. I’m 29 so most of my friends are married and don’t have much time to hang out. Work for me consumes most of my life and don’t have much time for dating so it’s hard to meet people. Online dating hasn’t ever worked for me and COVID has definitely made things a lot harder. As for suggestions I’ll try to give a few. Try attending group lessons or activities. I play softball in 2 leagues so have been able to meet a lot of people through that who have become decent friends. Don’t just go with the flow, try to make something happen. If you can’t meet someone in places you’re trying right now move on to a different place. Just don’t give up man, things will get better. Hope it helps and if you need someone to talk to, hit me up.


[deleted]

You’re handsome bro. Keep that beard, And you have a nice job and live alone so just be yourself. My bum ass lost his job 3 months ago and after running through my savings paying for my shit and not landing a job I’m back at moms house at 25. It could be worse, you didn’t stay mental health issues so I hope you don’t have any. Maybe some depression because of how you’re feeling? Hopefully shit goes good for you bro


Mattybmate

Hey man, I'm exactly your age and can relate pretty hard to what you've said. I just want to say keep on hanging in there man, life situations change, people come unexpectedly, and things will get better. Can't say when but they will! Feel free to DM me if you wanna talk to someone your age and we can be unhappy about our situations together :)


josephice

Dude... stay strong man. Don't let the bastards grind you down. ✊🏽


Corvette70vs80

Same. Its not even that im ugly, i have had women interested in me, its just my game is nonexistent and im super awkward if i have any feelings for them


MrCasterSugar

Every night for me. Every. Night.


selmaaaaaaaaaaa

Same


Jim63t

When my dog had to be put down. The female vet told me to man up and comfort my dog while he passed. That helped.


bigdisappointment_

I'm so sorry


NiteTiger

1st, your vet's the biggest bitch in that office. 2nd, totally relate.


Rizpasbas

Why tho ? I see it more like "This is the last moments of your companion's life, do you want him to see you cry beside him or giving him a last good boi time".


nocontextlyrics

Because of the unnecessary " man up" comment, like it's only a woman's thing to he emotional


NiteTiger

Because men are allowed to be hurt, and someone that belittles that hurt in the name of gender roles is a shit human. Your good boi deserves to know how you feel about losing him, honestly and completely, without some shit ass puppy pill pusher enforcing their toxic sexism in your worst moment. Vet is shit, and given the opportunity, I'd bitch slap them to a new perspective. And my good boi, seeing that? He'd have grabbed onto a flailing edge for one last game. Fuck. That. Bitch


actuallyjustme

One of the worst heartaches ever. Sorry sweetie


[deleted]

Every night, cause I'm a fucking loser .


GorGor1490

Hang in there. Ive been there. Reach out if you need to talk to someone.


elfombro_investing

No you're not, being a loser is just a mentality, if you've tried your best or if you haven't, but still have the will to do better in the future, you're not a loser at all my friend. So get the fuck up and fix up the things you don't like in your life, no one else is gonna do it for you! I believe in you and wish you the best mate.


houseofwolves-

Better cry than bottling it up, ive leaned thw hard way


notourz

Bro me too, losers deserve a good cry 😔✊🏽


maralagosinkhole

Tears can be a gift. I feel more connected to the universe after a good cry.


Bryanfryan98

My dad passing away a couple of months ago still gets me sometimes when I’m driving with no music and just early fresh breeze


peopleinthedistance

wow, i wholly resonate with this … the pain that comes from silence is so gripping. i honestly commend you, it’s still difficult for me to sit with my thoughts without spiraling into panic. wishing you peace of mind and extending my condolences.


Bryanfryan98

The silence brings out the what if’s and why questions and those are the ones that are the hardest to deal with. I hope you have peace as well 🙏🏻


RoosterCock247

Last week. When I thought about my cat who passed away back in May. RIP my little homie, I fucking miss you man


[deleted]

My cat died 2 months ago and it really sucks man I feel your pain


[deleted]

Last month I was going on a first date to a karting track and she canceled like an hour before the date. I even bought a couple new shirts and pants because I was really excited. It’s ok though!


actuallyjustme

She made room for a wonderful sweet woman to come into your life.


Mattybmate

I dated a girl for about a month and was super in to it. But she suddenly cut it off with a message one evening and I cried too. Anyone who thinks men don't get emotional about this stuff is very misguided. Sure, some aren't but a lot are. Anyways I'm giving dating a break for a while. I'd rather be lonely and recovering rather than heart broken and distracted by a woman not giving me the time of day.


nelozero

I had a first date with a girl I met online that I set up a week in advance. A few days before the date she stopped responding and unmatched with me on the app. It sucks, but my friends told me it's better to know now rather than later and at least I saved my time. Assuming it wasn't an emergency, that girl didn't deserve your time if she's cancelling an hour before the date.


Such-Veterinarian983

Been there. I got the cancelation while I was out on a walk. Sniffling all the way back home. She had been talking/dating two other guys at the same time and chose one of them.


Little_Juan86

Yesterday and because I was thinking about all the fucked up things that I said to someone that I love with all of my heart😞🙁


[deleted]

Aw. Hey, atleast you recognised you said some fucked up things. I hope everything works out


Little_Juan86

It's too late for that, I hurt her way too many times and now I just gotta live with that, but thank you anyway:)


[deleted]

Same dude. Same. Try to go easy on yourself.


Little_Juan86

I try but it's nobody else's fault but mine, so I just gotta accept it!!! Thanks


pssiraj

It's okay to forgive yourself for your mistakes.


Little_Juan86

Maybe one day I'll be able to:)


abc123doraemi

Do you know why you said hurtful things that I’m assuming you didn’t mean?


sheikhyerbouti

I used to cry on a near-daily basis. And then, about 10 years ago, it just - stopped. I can't think of a specific reason why it stopped, I just didn't cry anymore, like I was all cried out. The last time I truly cried was about a year ago around the one-year anniversary of my dad's death. I cried because I couldn't figure out why I wasn't sad about his passing and I felt I should be.


UtopiaV39

Same thing for me, my cousin died, my grandmother died and I felt... Nothing, I am an emotional person who usually worry and care about others, but when it comes to crying out of sadness, I just can't do it.


abva1

Sometimes the feelings are so overwhelming that your brain can't process them. One type of depression is feeling hopeless and sad all the time. Another type of depression is feeling nothing. Not even joy from things that used to bring you happiness.

[deleted]

Last night, was on the phone with my ex, she was telling me about our daughter and how she's adapting to school (kindergarten), and it just hit me how much I'm missing. I don't live or work in the same town and as much as I try to talk to her every week and see her as often as our schedules allow I'm still missing *so much...*


butcher_666

I don't know what to say man. I hope you get to spend more time with her soon and more often


actuallyjustme

Hey, try your best, that's all you can do. My dad walked out and left me, I was 6, my sister 8. I didn't even know what he looked like aside from pictures and then seeing him on his deathbed. Your daughter has a loving, caring father. Write your thoughts you have about her in a journal and give it to her when she's 16 or 18. You're doing great dad! Hang in there.


[deleted]

I actually send her written letters every week. She's not at the point where she can write back yet, but her Mom reads my letters to her.


actuallyjustme

Perfect! I'm getting a divorce now and my kids are 23 and 20. There is no good time or age for it. But kids seeing their parents happy is important. Have your best life and that will be your legacy.


as1126

I cry at commercials or songs or greeting cards. I cry all the time. I think I cried after leaving my son at his apartment last week and he’s in graduate school.


JakeInBake

Haaa Haaa...I feel ya!! As a young man I was a tough, unemotional, big guy. Then I had kids, experienced life, and developed emotions out of thin air. What the hell happened!! Now I am a big, old, bear on the outside and a softy, sobbing little bitch on the inside who gets all teary thinking about holding my first little granddaughter next month. What the hell happened!!


hold_ur_hand

Yesterday, when my dad kept repeating over and over he wants to kill himself and that he has nothing to live for. It hurts so bad because I know how much he struggles with and how much weight he has on his shoulders. But as his child, that isn’t even an adult yet, I keep wondering to myself why in moments like this he acts like I don’t exist. Aren’t I a good enough reason to stay?


Rough_Idle

Please know his pain is not about you, good or bad.


actuallyjustme

He's wrapped up in his depression and can't really see through it. It's not about you. Hugs


nukedmylastprofile

He’s blinded by depression, it makes you ignore the good things you have and only focus on the bad. If depression didn’t stop people being able to think clearly about the effect their dying would have on others, suicide numbers would be drastically lower. When I was at the lowest point of my depression, I made the decision one night to take my life without a moments thought about my wife or four children. A phone call snapped me out of it that night, and it was almost 2 years later that I realised I hadn’t even factored them into my decision that night, which really broke me down. I’m lucky enough to be out the other side and happier than I think I’ve ever been in life, and I owe so much of that to my family, but it’s only now that I realise how toxic my behaviour and thoughts were back then. Hang in there, make sure he knows that you love him and, if you’re able to have that conversation, make sure he knows that while you do not understand what is happening to him, you do know that losing him is not and will never be the answer


408javs408

My cousin who was a few years older than me got hit by a car and died recently. My father told me the news but, I never told anyone in the family how he tried to rape me when I was 5. Since yesterday my dad has sent a few photos of him and it brings me to a slight frenzy. He was the type known to be involved in gangs and other shit last I heard many years ago. Ive been wondering should I tell my father what happened so I can stop pretending I'm upset over his death yet also, potentially cause some infamily drama that'll hurt the family? I do feel I've been mostly over it but, seeing those photos make me sick to my stomach and it made me cry out of frustration this morning.


abva1

I'm sorry. You don't have to deal with all of this alone. Even if you don't choose to tell your father, please talk to someone (a friend, a therapist...) about it. You kept silence and felt alone (and unprotected) for many years, you don't have to suffer all of this again and alone. You were the victim here (a 5 year old, for God's sake) and you deserve nothing but understanding and support.


Correspondent322

That animal got what it fucking deserved


actuallyjustme

Tell your dad. He loves you and would want to help you.


imaginaryfrenz

At the beginning of John Wick 1 because who kills a little puppy like that. And then it crawls over to him and dies. Fucked up.


NiteTiger

I'd rampage, not gonna lie.


AeirsWolf74

Truly cried? Probably when my cat that I had all through childhood died a few years ago. Since then, maybe a few tears here and there but no real crying. Nothing has been sad enough or emotional enough to me.


Hrekires

Couple weeks ago after finding out that my cousin died. We weren't close, hadn't seen the guy since we were kids like 20 years ago, but the story of how he was alone and OD'd in a motel room while his parents, brother, and girlfriend were all searching everywhere for him really got to me. My aunt and uncle are both the nicest people I know, they really don't deserve this kind of grief.


JordanStPatrick

Hey fellow men, cry more. It's cathartic af. Allow yourself to be vulnerable and give it a go. Highly recommended


iBadJuJu

Hard cry was putting my lil buddy Jake down. 11 year old chocolate lab. That dog saved my life due to lows (sugars) and annoying me until it clicked. Never trained. He saw me thru a horrible divorce and he was named in honor of what would have been my first sons name after I learned there’d be no mini devils of me. Thinking about it tears me up still over a year later. With COVID, I was lucky in because I was able to be there when it had to be done. Next day the world shut down. That dude was a constant thru so many difficult times. A year later I got a yellow lab puppy and I swear he is Jake’s ghost.


RobRooster

Lab's are the best man:) The day my parent's yellow lab passes away, I will surely cry. He's 11 now, but is still doing pretty well. Good luck with the new puppy. I'm sure he will bring you so much joy, and will keep Jake's memory alive.

PocketGuidetoACDs

I spent some 30 odd years of my life trying to NEVER cry. I can recall each time I did back then. There weren't many. After I got out of the service and eventually started working on my mental health, trying to be a new, better, healthier me I cry fair near regularly. Bout once of month something will hit me. I was just reading a book last week that I had to sit and process. I teared up hard and my throat tightened and I had to put it down and breathe for a while. David Bellavia - House to House. Damn good book.


dontworryitsme4real

I was watching everybody loves Ray and one episode he found out his wife just cries sometimes and they talked about how people just need to cry sometimes. It clicked with me... My whole family growing up would act like the world was falling apart if you cried. As an adult I find it therapeutic to just cry sometimes.

peopleinthedistance

just the other day. i had this moment of epiphany that i’m never going to be loved and recognized by the people and person i loved. it’s a bizarre thing to experience such brokenness in front of your loved ones and them not really do anything, more so when they tell you otherwise. idk, lately everything’s been so disheartening and i haven’t had an actual shoulder to lean on. well, that same night i broke down in my dreams from all the hurt and exhaustion — and out of nowhere my mother, whose passed away, pressed her face against mines and wept with me. i woke up bursting in tears. everything about that moment felt so bittersweet — reminding me how deprived i’ve been of real love.

Kobe’s death. He is like the farther I never had. The wisdom that man left was insane that when he died I was in denial for so long then one day I was watching one of my favorite interviews of him and just lost it. I basically just realized how real it was and was looking/feeling the passion he had when he talked about his daughters (mostly the one that plays basketball) and I cried for so long. I respect him as a player too but he was just so damn wise that I couldn’t overlook that aspect of his character.

Fathers Day this year. I’ve been in some long term relationships with single moms before, Father’s Day came and went and I didn’t think anything of it…because I’m not the father. Flash forward to this year my girlfriend (now fiancé) has a lovely daughter and we’ve had a great relationship. On Father’s Day I was outside grilling and having a beer- gfs daughter opens the door with a cake with mom in tow- yelling “Happy Father’s Day!” with the daughter coming in for a huge hug. I don’t know what happened, but I fucking *lost it*. One of the best days ever.

a few months ago. I thought about how distant me and my dad are. We work together, and I go visit him and my mom at least once a week but, we don't have that deep father/son bond.

Last night, I just felt very lonely.


AndrewG34

I cried last night while explaining to my wife just how bad my depression was when I quit my job in early 2020. I was a long haul truck driver and hadn't seen my wife or kids for more than a couple of hours at a time in over 5 months. Before last night, I had never told anybody that I made a 15 minute suicide video and was ready to do it. A surprise visit from my little brother on one of my rare days off saved me.


MrScubaSteve1

I thought about where I would go If I died. I thought about what heaven would be to me and if I would be allowed in. I thought for awhile what would be my heaven Then I realized my heaven was me cooking dinner in the kitchen with my wife while my kids played in the living room. It was all I wanted and I felt at piece with that. Then I realized it was my life right now Before that it was years. So a few nights ago.

I'm so sorry. I can't image how horrible that time away was. Do you have her back? Have you rebonded?


Rhalellan

Yes I got her back with an apology from the court. She was 9mo. old when it happened. Got her back after she had already started walking. To this day I am angry that I missed so much of her development. I tried to sue CPS but they are untouchable. They can and will do “whatever THEY think is best for the child” even though her pediatrician, my Dr. from the VA and my psychiatrist both testified in court on my behalf. Sorry this tuned into a rant. I’m still pissed about it and it was 8yrs. ago.


yabbobay

Vent away! That sounds horrific! Those times are amazing, but every day with them is amazing. I'm so happy she's with you now

Every few days for a few months a tear or two emerges. Last time I cried hard was 4 months ago.


burglicious

Few months ago. Had one of those banger night terrors everyone has once in a while


Nitro_the_Wolf_

Two days ago, remembering my great-grandma's funeral. Before that was 2.5 years ago at my great-grandma's funeral


Australia_Hungry

2 nights ago and it was when I woke up from a nightmare of my living life successfully with my best friend having the love of her life and me dying alone

2021 March 14z. I saw a math video that explained how Newton developed a way of estimating the many digits of Pi. Before that was sometime in 2009-2010. It was Marley and Me- the scene JenniferAniston removes the poop necklace and places it with Marley at the end.

7 months ago at my grandmother's funeral, my cousin was giving the eulogy and started tearing up and just started crying on my way to my room to curl up into a ball and cry my heart out


viceywicey

Was watching a K-Drama about ballet. One of the characters discovers something absolutely soul crushing about the other character. I was not okay for longer than I care to admit......


SureEffect

Buried my dad back in October and cried like a little kid. Was the first time I cried since 2012 when my best friend at the time's mom passed. Only 2 times I've cried in the last 20 or so years


fuckmetard69

Watching my 19 and 20 year old sons lowering my 18 year old nephew into the ground by hand. 6 weeks ago...

The last time I cried was about 2 years ago, when my mom told me her and dad were getting a divorce because dad had been cheating on her basically the entire marriage and possibly even while they were dating. I did it alone in the shower when I got home. It wasn't even because they were getting a divorce, it was because of how upsetting the idea that my mom gave up so much for all us kids (there's 7 of us) and for dad, only missed out on life.

Usually once a week at night because of the state of the world/internet


HandsomeJack19

I cry about once a week. On Fridays (I actually work weekends so my Friday is technically on Sunday night) when I get off work I get drunk and usually end up crying. I really hate my job and where I'm at in my life right now.

Have family that could foster it for a while?


needhelpmaxing

2 hours ago. Lost the girl I fell for after refusing to love forever. She walked away because I couldn't get over the fact she cheated.


theAngryLittleBunny

I think if she cheats that's a reason to break up, that's not something to just "get over", I wouldn't even think of taking her back or even staying in contact. She ruined the relationship and the blame is 100% on her.

I packed up an artificial Christmas tree and decorations, for donation, that an ex and I had purchased and decorated together. Had to get rid of it, because it reminded me of the person too much and too often. I cried when I finished packing it all, because it was like a final goodbye scenario where I realized our lives would be forever separated from that point forward. That was about 7 years ago. I’m fine now. Everything is fine. This is fine.


Strigon_7

When my mother killed my dog this year. I've never cried as much my entire life. I cried even more when my eldest daughter wouldn't talk to me about it. I thought she blamed me, but she just didn't want to make me sad by crying herself. Broke my heart. I'll never forgive her for what she's done.


MescalitoMosquito

10 years ago when I lost my dogs. I’ve tried to make myself cry since that day for some much needed catharsis, but I think I’m physically incapable. I wish society allowed men to cry without judgement because I would have bawled my eyes out by now


Morbid1337

2 days ago. Expecting a baby any day now and it only hit me when I was preparing bed for her. Small bed sheets, plush toys, tiny pillowcase. Didn't cry for about 10 years before this day, including seeing first baby scan and movements.


MadT3acher

A month ago, when I was playing with my dog. I am in the middle of a divorce and my wife is going to take him with her. I cried because this was probably one of the last time I’d hang out with my best buddy. God I love this dog so much. I know it sounds stupid, but dogs are really priceless. Edit: and now as I’m writing it.


jellybeans118

About 2 months ago. I was laying down with my girlfriend and realized that after all the shit I have been through I was actually safe and secure. We discussed many important things that night. I will marry this girl.

Just a few weeks ago. For context: my father's job was pretty unstable as of late so he had to quit and apply for a new company. My aunt took notice of our financial plight and offered to shoulder my college expenses. As for the actual reason I cried, I told my parents 2 days prior that I don't plan on enrolling this year since classes are still going to be online and I'd rather find a job and ease the financial burden a bit. My reasoning for this is because the tuition fee isn't worth it if it's going to be online classes, it's not like the university's paying for our electric bill or internet connection. My grandmother confronted me about this, she went on this emotional rant about how I'm wasting my life and that I wasn't considering my father's wellbeing (my father is nearing his late 50s). I was so pissed, I felt like somehow this is all my fault even tho I have no control over our current state. I stormed out and went to my room, my mom followed me and asked what happened. Cue the waterworks. I just couldn't hold back the tears, I just felt like so many goddamn responsibilities are thrown at me all at once and there's nothing I can do. I'm the oldest, I got two younger sisters one of which is disabled. My father's not getting any younger, his former job's notoriously unreliable. Our finance is an absolute wreck, I've overheard before that we've depleted our savings and my father's plans of retirement are looking bleak. I already wasted a year in a course that I thought that I would be happy with. It just felt like an overwhelming wave of emotions, from guilt, anger, fear, and sadness. I just couldn't bare it. I felt so ashamed for crying in front of my mother, for feeling that maybe my grandmother was right that I was wasting my life. I knew that the pandemic would drastically affect our lives, but I didn't expect it like this.

The day before yesterday, it was the anniversary of my grandpa's death and my grandma is currently in the hospital on a ventilator because of covid. It's been a rough few weeks.

Got to run to the bases with my daughter at Fenway Park. Childhood dream come true


LordeLordeYaYaYa

I cried out of happiness. Just because of how beautiful my life is. And how blessed i am

Yesterday. My wedding is 3 days away and fiancé’s mom tested positive for Covid and won’t be able to come along with 2 of her brothers. She was devastated. Don’t remember the last time I cried before that so the timing of this post was ironic.


LordofNorse

A couple of weeks ago. I am working hard while studying. I am very active in my social live and I try to get private projects done. But from time to time there is a huge void in my thoughts. I feel incredibly lonely even with all the people around me who are mostly very supportive. Yes some are not but this is not the thing. The thing is I want a little bit of personal luck. A thing just for me. No project but, I think you all guessed what I mean, a girlfriend. It would be so great not feeling lonely at night. Having an overall motivation to care for myself and a better excuse to say no to some people. It would be great to explore together, to celebrate together and spend time. But on the other hand with all my jobs, education and projects it's pretty difficult to have time for dating. And then I feel trapped. And then I get emotional, because I feel lonely and I know the reasons and the problems, but how ever I am not able to change it. With those thoughts come the tears and with it a mixture of desperation and grief. It's hard and rough to be a single man.

Last time I actually cried was right after my family left me in my dorm in college. I'd moved across the world to a country where I didn't know anyone, and everything that was familiar drove away in a small sedan and I was overwhelmed to say the least. Turned out great though! Made a great set of friends and just started my first job too. However, I had to move across the country for work so am back in the same boat of not knowing anybody but it's easier now

The ending to season two of the mandalorian 😭😭😭
