Thank you, sweetie! Others keep telling me that, and I know at some level it's true (sort of - I try not to brag too much), but I can't help feeling like I'm on the verge of failing on a daily basis. (Thank you ex-boyfriend who put me down every chance he got!)

It's not exactly like the world is stable itself right now. I'm normally a very emotionally labile person up down up down all the time add to that all this nightmare with covid-19 burn bodies in Mass Graves very soon kind of bad as well as the shitshow of hatred does not help.
