A conversation earlier that spawned some reflection on memories of my past made me realize just how many people have walked out on me over the years. It's not something I've ever really thought of before so crunching the numbers in my head made me kind of sad and also got me thinking about why they all walked out. Is it because of me and who I am? Am I a bad friend? Do I just associate myself with bad people? I have closure with very few of the people who have left me and for many of them, to this day, I still can't figure it out.

The thought has been running through my head for a few hours now and it's keeping me awake. Amazing how innocent conversations can provoke you into thinking deeply about things like this.

On the contrary, it often has a rather negative connotation and the use of the emoji in that instance comes across as a bit condescending.
telling someone to “deal with it” is not motivational in any way, shape, or form. it’s belittling and rude.
:eek:
I didn't know that sorry. ;_;
I've heard it from people during competitions and championships. So I thought it was cheering up

Game development is hard.

I really have chosen the worst path in life, haven't I?

You're still pretty young and many people don't find their path until much later in life. What specific aspect of game development are you doing and struggling with? The programming? I'm not huge on programming myself but I'm sure that with practice once you overcome the hurdles of developing the technical proficiency then things would become much easier. It's easy to get overwhelmed when you look forward and see so much more to learn in front of you, so hang in there. Regardless of what happens though, at this point whatever path you have chosen for yourself isn't one that will have to have to stick with you for life if it doesn't end up working out for you.

I am really happy to have my wife home, it's really been helping with my anxiety and a huge help with the baby.

Been feeling depressed over the past couple of days. I just feel like a terrible person lately and its affecting my personal life at home. Call me a doomer if you want, but I feel like my city is opening up way too fast. Hotel and casinos are pushing hard to re-open and pretty soon I'll have to call the entire staff in for re-opening training, and making heavy adjustments to the schedules, inventory, and getting the place ready for social distancing.

You still have to take your mask off to eat, if the customer even wants to wear one, and all it takes is one irresponsible person to infect me, and then I chance going home and infecting my family, one of them a newborn, and the other being my high-risk mom. I'm honestly afraid to get everyone back to work this soon, and it's giving me some pretty negative thoughts. Despite this, I'm still pushing on, working to enforce the guidelines and open up safely, but I just feel that it's still too early. The Las Vegas Strip is a huge tourist spot, and no doubt once the hotel/casinos open back up, people will be FLOODING THE GATES because MUH FREEDOMZ. It's a shame that we have to choose between paying bills and our health. I stare into my daughters eyes and want to be able to give her everything.

Luckily my wife is extremely understanding and has been full of support. Don't know where I'm going with this, just needed to let this out.

Sounds like a really stressful prospect to have to deal with being forced back into work in a situation that feels so dangerous. I hope everything will be alright for you guys, you obviously care an immeasurable amount for your family and I'm sure they are very lucky to have you looking out for them.

I'm sorry to hear this is keeping you up. I guess exact reasons for people moving in different directions are usually going to depend on the situation. I think most people know what it is like to not have closure about someone who has previously been in their life, and it certainly isn't a nice feeling when someone meant a lot to you. Sometimes people are going to inevitably just drift apart which can suck but is just a part of life. Other times something someone did or didn't do will lead to drifting apart or the end of friendships too. In some of these cases it is possible to try and reconnect with people from your past again after a few years spent apart. I recently reconnected with someone I ended up disassociating with on bad terms around four years ago and we seem to have set things straight and put the past behind us. I guess sometimes it can't hurt to reach out and try to catch up with a person either directly or through a mutual friend where the situation is appropriate and see what happens. Sometimes of course it won't work out, but if that's the case you can't say you didn't try. People can change pretty dramatically over the course of a few years too, so perhaps sometimes it is more a matter of timing and temporary life situations than one of the core of who you are as a person.

I don't know what funfetti is but it sounds like something that'd be 99% sugar <3

Happy Mother's Day, Sugar Sister, you're one of the the very few people I know who actually deserve to celebrate that day. <3
