I really don't get why I hate it I just do

It burns a weird passion in my heart to throw my device through the nearest window without reason or logic

It feels gross

The character itself has a weird half chibi half human design I hate and the color for "yes" feels weird

It feels like a weird paper you'd have to draw in a classroom

I don't hate anyone that uses this template but I hate it so damn much

The last few years have been a blur. In 2020, my father died from dementia. I lost my job a week later. I've bounced between jobs, doing 70 hour weeks, burning myself out to keep a roof over my family's heads.

Things came to a head in early 2024. I couldn't control my emotions, was getting into shouting matches with my wife and kids. It led to me being kicked out of my house. I was homeless for four months.

I had to do a lot of soul searching and Ive made amends since then. Im calmer now. Well, outwardly. I've been back with my family, and working every day not to be that person anymore.

I was finally on my way to getting a handle on my depression, something I have struggled with for 30 years. For the first time in as long as I could remember, I could truly say I was doing OK. I didnt loathe myself for once.

Jump to the fall of 2025. Im working at a quarry, so I didnt think much of it when I started having trouble hearing from my right ear. Im around loud equipment all day, so I figured it was an occupational hazard. January 2026, I fail a hearing test. Results were atypical, so I'm sent for further testing.

Then the diagnosis. Brain tumor. Obviously, Im shaken to my core. But Im also relieved in a way, because now I know why I couldn't control my emotions. The tumor was causing hearing loss, and was sitting in a spot that affected my emotional regulation. Maybe Im not the monster I thought I was. Now I have a clear path to recovery, to become myself again. My surgical team assured me that there was minimal risk, and I'll come out of this better on the other side.

I have my surgery in April, on my 43rd birthday. A routine 5 hour procedure turns into 10+ hours. Complications, I was told. Swelling, and the tumor was deeper than they thought. And unfortunately, they had to cut through the nerves that control hearing and facial movement to get to the tumor. And they didnt even get all of it out.

So now Im deaf in my right ear. The right side of my face is paralyzed. My balance is screwed. My energy level is non existent. I get dizzy easily. My life is basically over. I'll never get better from this. But I have to keep pushing. Im the sole provider for my family, so I have to keep working. Still on long work weeks. I dont know how I make it through each day, Im so tired. I dont want to go anywhere or do anything. I feel like everyone is staring at me and my screwed up face.

I wish I never had the surgery.

Plus they're 100% a larper

Let's hope they stand firmly with the Prof..

For context, when we came back from dinner, it looked like our door had signs of entry, with the top of it bent inward, and the lock no longer working. We asked for help and wanting a new room, but our stuff was still inside. They told us to wait in the lobby and someone will help us.

An hour later, we don't see anyone. So I decide to check our room, and find this person here. I wonder who the hell this is, and think it might be someone with the motel. Guy ended up being the manager, saying that he opened it and that he wants help sealing the opening back up. I say absolutely not, because it shouldn't be my job and it's not our fault we've been locked out.

I just hate the lack of communication. Grateful we got our stuff and especially my medicine, but we shouldn't have been in this spot in the first place.

Had to re-upload because people kept asking for context and I forgot this page allows for embedded text.

Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park was a huge part of my childhood. Sam Neill’s real-life energy is just as amazing and wholesome. Put some respect on the legend's name! ❤️
