I could have ended up in other places and am so happy i am where i am now, considering i was where i never wanted to be where i was several times in my life.
I know like, 3 people. They’re always busy. I’m basically an afterthought. My 40th bday is coming up in a few weeks and I said I wanted to plan something if people wanted to come...no one said anything. Then I’m like, why am *I* planning my own party? Someone said well, we were thinking of taking you to a wine and paint class.

That is so far from something I’d enjoy. The thought is nice, but man...I just realize I’m humoring everyone because no one wants to do anything I like. And dammit, I don’t really feel like humoring people on my birthday.
