What's Bothering You?

[Midoriya]

Spent some time reading through the last page or so of posts... I'm really sorry that you all are having to deal with the struggles you're dealing with. Sending lots of prayers, love, and hugs your way.

Eh, I'm not really bothered by too much right now except for the fact that I slept late.

I just saw more statements made about Chuggaaconroy on Twitter and now I am just feeling sad about this whole thing. I can no longer support him.

What were the statements about?

Well this was his response:

For what it's worth re: TBT:
The strong language and accusations in the exit post meant that it was going to make the situation a lot bigger/worse if left publicly visible, both for those already involved and for those who were not. The way things were playing out already wasn't great, although had it been worded more constructively, we would genuinely have left the thread where it was.

Given the strong feelings involved, however, we would not want to simply delete and dismiss such a post either. The exit post was instead moved to the Contact The Staff board where we replied to it. If kiwi had decided to return by now, we would have encouraged the thread to be remade in a calmer manner.

Me and the rest of the team had no idea that kiwi's feelings were running this high, or we would have reached out. Seeing that she states feeling ignored or dismissed hurts a lot, as we have never received a direct message or contact the staff thread from her about it before it got to this point. We all wish she would have reached out so that we could have talked about it, to learn the full extent of her concerns so that we may avoid them in the future, instead we are down a valued member with no proper way to talk about it.

If she would ever return she would be more than welcome back, we are more upset at not knowing how kiwi was feeling before she left rather than at the posts she made before she quit. Unfortunately, I don't know how likely we are to get that chance to talk it out.

Oh yikes I didn't know that had happened. I noticed recently a handful of members have removed their avatars because they've left. Or at least that's usually what this means. I wonder if a lot of them were for the same reason. That's really a shame if that is the case. I liked seeing all of them on the forum.

Spoiler: TW: knives, accidental bodily harm

I cut my thumb while trying to chop a tomato. Luckily I caught it before it turned into a hospital-worthy visit, but it went through both the flesh and my thumbnail.

It made me realise we don't have a first aid kit, or even plasters (US: bandaids), in the house. Prepping one is on my to-do list now.

Yeah first aid with all the essentials is a must. Also a small fire extinguisher. Good thing it didn't turn out as bad as it could. I'm not sure how you cut, but always cut away from yourself.

Spoiler: just venting about this bs

- Filed tax return
- I get a whopping $36
- But they want me to pay $40 to file the state return
- Conveniently, the $40 is ****ing taxed, so it's now $42.79
- Also conveniently, the want the money NOW.
- So they have the payment now. While I'm waiting for them to reimburse me the $36.
- But I still owed money this year. $42.79 > $36.00.
- **** the government/IRS/tax companies.

Spoiler: today sucks

My tonsil infection + dry winter air has been giving me a crazy cough and sore throat, and I have been miserable all day. I cannot wait to get over this. I hate being sick.

I'm feeling very attacked at work right now. I walk out the door feeling the daggers in my back.

Why the heck is Godzilla not in the Oscar running? It's the most popular movie in our theatre, and it's got booming positive reviews all around.

I have to do a lot of schoolwork but I have no motivation to do any of it. But one of them is due tomorrow, and the other is due Monday (and I think I’m the only person excluding like 5 other people who even started it, even though it’s a fifteen page essay). I feel really stressed, and I’ve felt like this since Tuesday.

Spoiler: TW: Surgery

I had a consultation today and found out I'm going to need surgery. I was hoping for a quick outpatient procedure, but it seems I'm beyond that point. It's going to be quite invasive and I'll have to stay at the hospital for 2-3 nights. Is it sad that I'm less worried about the surgery and more concerned about how my dog with separation anxiety is going to handle me being away for so long? He doesn't eat or drink when he doesn't know where I am.

I went to the diner today. I enjoyed my time overall, but I still have to get used to my dad not being. Now, his chair is empty. I catch myself looking to see if he's there when I drive by. I wish he'd just pull up just one more time to have coffee with me.

I'm going to sit in his chair now even though I don't smoke.

I know I didn't comment initially on it, but I just wanted to say I'm really, really sorry about the passing of your father. I can relate as I lost my mom in 2020 due to gastric (stomach) cancer. It was a ten-month battle for her and I kept taking care of her and the house the entire time, prolonging her life as much as I could.

I've had a lot of cries since then and I'm worried that my dad may pass soon as well, even though he's in great health for his age (70's), but the reality is that I really have to focus on the good and keep moving on. The grief will be with me for the rest of my life, but I won't dwell on it, because there's so many more good things in store for me and I know my mom would just want me to live my life and be happy.

I think that's special that you're taking the chair that he used to sit in. Truly.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! And I'm very sorry for your loss, too.

I'm looking forward to getting to that stage in my grief. It's at its rawest stages now, even though I know my dad would want me to be living my life in peace. That really is a sobering thought- knowing your loved one would just want you to laugh and live and take care of the family they left behind with you!

And taking over his spot does make me feel closer to him. I have squatter's rights to that chair now! lol
