We were floatin' We didn't know where we were

 I turn 38 tomorrow.

I am very pale right now because I haven't been outside a lot lately. 

My eyes are all swollen in these photos because of how much crying I have been doing lately. 

This birthday isn't even a seminal birthday, but it has hit me harder than most birthdays. It's just been a lot year. And because I lost the last year or two of my life, this birthday is really hitting me a lot harder than previous ones have.

I think I have noticed myself becoming increasingly less patient with others. It's not that I am intolerant and am only interested in curating the most hyper-specific echo chamber to me. I am just considerably less tolerant to negging and jealousy.
