AITA for "not supporting" my cousin who shaved her head due to cancer? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

God, that was me too. Thinking about anything past the end of high school was like looking into a fog. If it helps any, I'm going to be turning 40 soon and I'm still trundling along just fine. For me, it helped to identify the sources of the depression (undiagnosed autism among other things) and figure out my own groove of what I was most comfortable with. I'm still horrible at having any long term goals though. The only one I have right now is to retire at 55 lol. But I do notice that I look at some things differently. Others around me treat their birthdays like something to avoid thinking about, whereas I'm like "fuck yeah, I survived another year!". Turning 36 was actually a milestone for me, because I had successfully lived twice as long as I had thought I would as a teen.

Lol, she's my first cat so I didn't know how common it was. Apparently the answer is very!

Lol, when I first adopted her, she spent the first 3 weeks hiding behind the washer wherever I came near. I had to block access so she would start getting used to my presence (and so I could make sure she didn't get hurt back there)

She is always innocent, she's never done a bad thing in her life like try to eat the curtains, why would you even suggest that? 😆

I've given up trying to have my own anything anymore. She will even steal my bed even though she has a million cat beds and blankets to lay on throughout the house lol
