Honestly, life is really hitting me hard. My brother got into an automobile accident earlier this year and paralysed waist down. I am exhausted from taking care of him; i am not the sole caregiver, we have our mum, dad and his wife, but considering that i am single and have the flexibility of working remotely, my brother is counting on me more. I do not have good relationship with my parents so now i am seeing them way too often than i like, and i am drained and then I’m drained even more because i feel guilty for feeling this way. Work is stagnanting and i can’t even have a moment for myself to think my next move.
So please tell me what’s good in your life right now? Anything small, anything big, everything. For me rn i have my cats, seeing them give joy, otherwise i don’t have much going on in my life.

Finished a book I actually enjoyed
I got my first ever grown-up library card yesterday!! 🙂
I just worked with a woman who has like 30 cats. my coworker found out about it and she told him she would give him a kitten!!! he was so excited about it and was cheesing our entire shift.
Found out about the rapper Prof and he’s been getting me through it. I turn this on super loud in the car after a shift (I’m an acute brain injury caregiver) and it gives me a boost every time. https://youtu.be/7ctORopHfjQ?feature=shared
I was unemployed for 3 months and it took a big toll on me but finally started working again 2 weeks ago so I just rejoined the gym. Weather is getting warmer therefore many bands/artists are dropping their tour dates so im planning on which ones to attend. Booked an Airbnb cabin in upstate New York for next month. Friends have invited me to dance classes. Just start researching your interests and spend time on yourself
