i’m sorry about the loss of your brother. i understand the feeling. my sister was someone everyone relied on, she took on so much responsibility, and she was my moms friend and daughter. i know i can’t replace her, but i promised her id take care of her family. more and more everyday im stepping up. thank you for reminding me to reach out and ask for help when i need it, ill keep it in mind. i’ll contact the referral i got for a grief counselor tomorrow. i’m supposed to get the car looked at by a friend rather than a shop, but the truth is the thing is on its last legs. replacement parts for it will cost more than getting a new car, and i can’t get a new one for a while. as for moving, im trying to get a certification that’ll increase my income, which will look good for a loan so i can move into something im buying rather than renting. there’s a lot of moving parts to all this, but tomorrow im taking a day of recuperation for sure

oh anon what a thoughtful question. no, i’m not in school right now. the certification ive been studying for and have to pay for is smthn for my career, i have all my study materials ive just been working at it too much so i was gonna take a day off tmrw from drilling it

thank you anon, i understand what you mean. i’m trying to do what i can for myself and my family, im still struggling to fill the gap she left. it’s just an adjustment, and i don’t imagine it’ll get any easier, i just need to keep doing what i can

thank you anon. it’s multiple factors unfortunately. yes gas money, and time constraints, but it’s also strain on the car, and the fact 90% of my free time (all my days off have been full day escapades of driving down to their area) is spent on family at this difficult time. i got to see her for a couple hours last week before i had to get to my brother’s for a business thing. and tomorrow is my next day off which i was planning on using to recuperate from my lack of free time, take time off from studying for my certification, and to catch up on chores. and my next day off after that ive already made plans with my step sister which is another out of town venture. i can’t afford another full day trip away right now, and i feel so terrible about that. she’s told me she’s been a mess, and it rly bites that i can’t solve her problems for her, so the very least i can do is be there for her, and i can’t even do that. it just sucks

i have seen it actually anon funny that you mention it bcos i don’t think i included it in my list of rom com ratings. the male lead is an actor that i’ve always thought was cute since i saw him in transformers. i don’t remember much of the movie but i know i didn’t care for it, maybe ill give it a rewatch w my full attention soon n i can give it a proper rating

yea
