I can’t cope

[Jynx]

Hiya @Captain24 just popping in to say G'day! How you going this sunny Monday? Did you have a good weekend?

[Captain24]

Hey @Jynx 

So good to see you. 

I had lunch with my bestie today. We went to one of the pubs. It was so good to see her but she is really down and I struggled a lot with that. 

How has your day been?

Aww cute as @Captain24!! Sounds like it was a bit tough to sit with though, is that because it's hard to see your friend in pain, or because it's hard for you to spare energy to be supportive? Bit of both? Something else entirely?

My day has been super chill, managed to enjoy some sunshine on my back! It's such a short window we have where it is warm enough to lounge in the sun, but not so warm that you wanna escape it, you know? Haha where is the land of perpetual Autumn? Cos that's where I'd live if I could!

Much on this week?

[Captain24]

It’s the first time we have seen each other in years. @Jynx She has aged and is extra skinny. She has always been skinny but not this much. I hated seeing her like that. But I just don’t have it in me right now to help. All I could do was listen. Her living arrangements are just going to end in disaster. 

I was tempted to go lay in the sun but I went and had a nap instead. I was exhausted. 

Nah we have summer first and that’s what I’m looking forward to! Love me some hot sunshine!

Well you know as well as anyone that sometimes, just having a listening ear is all we need @Captain24 so even if you feel you could have done more to be supportive, maybe that's actually all she needed.

Sounds like you're seeing some impending doom on the horizon for her, but it's okay to not be able to spare that energy to try to intervene! She might not want you to anyway. Sometimes people need to make their own mistakes, else they'll never learn the lesson their mistakes are teaching em!

Ugh all you summer-lovers are becoming insufferable!! I get sooooo cranky in the heat, and absolutely revile the feeling of being sweaty.

I make joke I make joke... It is nice to see you (and others) excited about the weather! I'm just complaining because it's now sneezy-season, followed by cranky-sweaty season, and they are gonna be here for the next six months or so! So.... hurrumph! 😤😅😝
