What's Bothering You?

I've been thinking about my mom a lot recently (as in, every day) and it's really affecting me. With the five stages of grief, I feel like I'm permanently stuck on anger.

I was this close to being able to visit my mom freely as an adult and talk with her... But that opportunity was ripped away too soon. I won't be able to get any answers, or have any insight on my mom's life. I will never hear her say "I love you" or "I'm sorry" again.

She loved me and just didn't know how to show it, I think... But I'm not sure if the feeling is mutual now. How can you love someone who ruined your life?
 
Lots of stuff going on at work and in my head right now making me feel very unsettled...

I applied for a job in another town not expecting much of it, I didn't think I'd get that far with the application. Didn't hear back from them for ages, so just assumed that they found someone. Then they called me and I had a teams interview with them.

The interview went really well, they said I interviewed really well. I had already set my expectations really low, but now I'm trying not to get myself hyped up on the possibility that I might get somewhere with this.

It would be good for me financially if I got this job, but I'd also be much closer to family (which also saves money for me on travel costs). Not to mention it would be great for my career. So I can't help but feel really excited about it, disappointed that I don't get it, and just anxious in general!!
Update: I didn't get the job :( kinda a sigh of relief, but disappointed. They had nothing but positive feedback for me, unfortunately they appointed someone within the region. Here we go on the rollercoaster of emotions and stages of loss I guess 🥲
 
Smthn I've learned thru streaming is just how unpleasant people can be. Like you have the audacity to show up to someone's own stream for the first time, follow them just 2 complain in their chat for ads running before the stream even fully starts (which 1. Is a twitch thing and 2. I'd rather the ads play when 1 person is there & I'm still prepping rather than 5 people being there and I'm trying to talk to them), and then unfollow them and leave? During a CHARITY stream of all things.

I've encountered the most wack ahh people during my charity streams actually. Just randos who show up and think they're better than you & that they can boss you around because you're a small streamer. I stream for myself because I like sharing what I love & think the whole process of it is interesting. The audacity that you feel you can take out the fact that you have no friends on random ppl on the internet is WILD.

You come into my home and tell me how I should arrange my furniture?? Like srsly some people are so lame. This is abt more than streaming obviously its just a specific observation
 
I’m doing okay; just tired since I hardly got sleep thanks to one of my cats. I feel kinda pressed for time too for my 2d art entry and am a bit worried about not having time to do everything that I want to with it. Still am a bit stressed from something else too. I’m hoping Jewels will behave when I go to sleep tonight and in the morning 😅.
 
I'm so ****ing annoyed right now. When I thought I had alleviated my headaches, they're back once again plus sudden surges of abdominal cramps. Tried telling my parents about because I'm in pain, and they think it's just my period even though I told them it isn't. Not to mention I hurt my back shoveling snow yesterday, so there's that.

My brother has been an *******, as usual. He's made me wash dishes for him twice this week and keeps finding ways to do less work around the house. I'm the one who works more hours than him, and he's still pulling this ****. Ugh. He's a damn pain to deal with and I wish he would just listen instead of causing unnecessary trouble. :\

I wanted to spend the rest of my evening drawing and playing Stardew, but it looks like I'll have to call it an early night. My headache won't go away if I'm staring at screens.
 
The weather is stressing me out. You're telling me I get the possibility of tornadoes and then the unbearable winter comes back??
I need to get sleep before the first part happens but it's going to be hard...
 
On Sunday I have to go to one of my niece’s birthday party; I am behind on an entry and am kinda upset that i just now hear about this. I was planning on spending all day today and tomorrow before the deadline to finish it. My fault for not thinking of this idea sooner, though. Also anxious about leaving the house. I’m getting more worried about not finishing in time; I can’t stay focused for too long on this or really anything even though I really wish I could stay focused.

Jewels kept me awake today again; I slept better today after I took her downstairs and shut my door, but I’m still tired. Part of it is due to this time of the month and another maybe because I’m still stressed about some stuff that happened.
 
Not feeling well and just tired . Hate this time of month and how bad cramps are. I ended up falling asleep earlier even though I tried not to . I was going to try and practice some among us but the cramps were too bad. I really wanted to enjoy my two days off especially since after tomorrow I have to work the next 10 days .
 
Today was just not a good day for me physically. I could barely move my body. On top of that, not only was work busy but short staffed again. Ever since the eagles won the freaking Super Bowl people have been calling out left and right. Enough with the partying already.
 
I grew up in a time where my work is never acknowledged. My efforts are never appreciated. For the longest time I told myself that is simply the way things are.

Took me a very a long time to break away from that mindset after 20 years.
You've been working since you were 9?
