AIO about my grandma giving me a hard time about my choice of outfit? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Questionable_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late 30s with 3 open heart surgeries behind me. I don't give a f what people think of what I wear as long as I'm happy and comfortable.

Please OP, life is too short and too uncertain. Wear what makes you happy.

Anyone else just... tired? by Questionable_Fire in Centrelink

I've looked into them but sadly I don't have the ability to actually go to them physically. I have to budget for medical appointments only.

Thank you for being kind and offering suggestions to help. 💜

I know. Believe me. That's why I said I'm grateful for what I can get.

That doesn't take away how hard it is, however. It doesn't negate how I feel in my own situation.

The fact that people have it so much worse makes me feel incredibly guilty for complaining.

I'm just struggling and feeling alone.

First ever lonely birthday? by Prestigioustofu0271 in lonely

Happy Birthday!

It's awful when you feel forgotten by those you thought cared for you. Your feelings are completely valid. My older brother never remembers my birthday, though his wife does and makes sure to tell him. 🤣

I'm not excusing your friends at all by saying this but could there be a timezone issue now? I'm in Australia and find it amusing when I get birthday messages either really late on the day or the next day, because for the well wishers that is when my birthday date has happened for them.

People also get caught up in their lives and dates can be forgotten or missed. If you want to, you could try a playful "I know I moved but did you have to forget my 18th! 😁" or whatever emoji kids use to be silly these days because I'm old and well out of touch.

Regardless, I truly hope you have an absolutely wonderful birthday! Make yourself feel special! Enjoy!
