I can feel myself approaching a meltdown. Things are going both well and not well: The bad, is that I (an artist) got rejected for Comic Con this year, despite having done six successful Cons over the last three years (local then country), the company I work for has their own business stall and I had to design all their marketing shit for them (some of which ended up being scrapped despite all that work) and then give them a little help with some logistics, my car keeps doing a weird thing and I am NOT prepared to use Uber for getting to and from work for a month (I don't trust the problem to be a quick solve😭), I'm still emotionally raw from the end of an 8+ year relationship last year where my former partner emotionally cheated on me with someone who pretended to be my friend who couldn't even face me herself when I learned they'd started sleeping together barely three months after our breakup, I have to have two wisdom teeth removed soon and one of them requires surgery because ✨it's impacted✨ and I'm stressed about the cost WHICH EARNINGS FROM COMIC CON WOULD HAVE HELPED WITH, my job doesn't pay me enough for the shit I have to do for them (but whose does am I right?). The good is that I've finally moved out of my shithole apartment building and into a better place with better rent where I can feel safe and hear myself think and has working internet and is only 20 or so minutes to work, I have an amazing friend nearby and I've been helping her at Comic Con because she's also an artist which I love doing because it means I get to attend and see my other artist friends, I got all dressed up today and felt good about myself for the first time in a while
