#but .. yeah

things have been ... uh, how do you say, rough. at home. my dad hasn’t been feeling great, and it might be his diabetes rearing its ugly head again, which has been worrying me. plus, he’s been without a stable job for over a year as well, and therefore hasn’t really been doing anything to keep himself occupied. he’s almost 60. pretty sure he’s been feeling somewhat lonely. my mom works full-time every day, other than on thursdays when she gets half the day off, and my sister works everyday other than thurs-fri. one of my dad’s closest friends is going to be going back to taiwan to stay there, and she’s the only person who comes to visit fairly regularly.

it’s hard to try to connect with him some days due to our age gap, but i’m trying. i spend so much time online that it takes time away from the people that matter the most to me. all in all, i’ve been trying to spend some more time with him these last few days since family comes first. this might also mean my mood might be off some days, but i also have a tendency to be able to hide it pretty well, but ... yeah, this is just a bit of an update for you guys. it sucks. i’m worried. i love my dad. i’m not ready to lose him anytime soon. so...

i’m not gonna apologize for being slow with replies. this is meant to be fun, a hobby. however, i will thank you guys for your understanding and patience. some days i might not feel like writing and only feel like shitposting, or other days i might not be entirely talkative (or might be too talkative, just lmk). for that, i apologize if i get distant or quiet or annoying— i’m not trying to offend anyone.

and since i don’t have a job this summer, i’m trying to make some cash from commissions. i’ve been really lucky to have a few people come to me, but it’s not much. there’s about $70 in my paypal, lol. anyway, that’s how my summer’s going atm.
