    Thanks.

    You matter independent of the work you do for others.

    I do need to re-internalize this from time to time.
    Like, rationally speaking, I do know this.
    I’m more than a fruit to extract juice from and then be discarded.
    In the heat of the moment though, I put others’ needs above my own, which means sometimes I’ll forget myself in the process.

    And yea, I’m blessed to have met my platonic soulmate, although somewhat late in life.

    If I’m honest for a sec, I’ve been struggling lately.
    Work has been super intense and nothing I can do ever feels like it’s enough.
    Deep down, I know it’s not a me problem, hell, I’m the best damn person for this particular task, it’s just… a lot. That also means I’ll have to lead this thing for a month, away from home this time.
    People see how I fix things and think it’s easy for me.
    It’s not. I’m just used to making shit work at the cost of my own self.
    I’m tired of paying that toll and I don’t know how much longer I can keep it together.

    I recognize this present overwork-dragon facing me, I’ve been down this road before and I know how wholly it can consume me. Not even in a vore way either.
    Being away also means there’s nobody to fuck my brains out or use me as a toy to take my mind off this thing.

    Still, silver linings… this time I’m lucky enough to have my soul-friend-bestie along.
    It doesn’t make it less bullshit, but at least we’re going insane together.
    Anyway, idk why I’m dumping a wall of text here.
    Gotta get back to it… peace.

    I mean sometimes I’ll suck at coming up with something meaningful or expressing properly in the moment.

    I’ve written countless dubious birthday card messages along the lines of:

    • I suck at writing messages, but I’ve really enjoyed ________ with you. I look forward to _______
    • I’m really wasted and can’t write for shit at this time but I love you.
    • yadayadayada, act really touched, yadayadayada.
      Damn, that sauce was really great, I got high hopes for dessert. Anyway. Don’t actually cry, but like, you know, fake the one single tear thing? Yeah yeah. Alright let’s hug. Seriously though, we should grab a drink after. See ya around.

    Literally anything other than slop
