Can't believe how hard it is to lose a pet. So I had to put down my 16-year-old cat today. He was recently diagnosed with diabetes, but I think he had cancer that underpinned the diabetes. He lost so much weight and grew too weak to eat or drink. Even though I know it was right to put him down, I lost it when he finall...

I feel like despite deciding not to kill myself a piece of me died. I had planned on a nice last day by a lake and then killing myself this New Years Eve. I ended up deciding not to, but it feels like a part of me still went. I can barely get motivated to leave bed and I feel numb.

Why does everyone gotta be someone? Can't a person just do things without always having to be someone? Shouldn't have to constantly prove your worth to get by in life. Seems unreasonable to determine a person's worth as opposed to how well known or likable they are.
