5. I ruminate

Nov 2023

I worked for years, got a graduate degree, got disabled, and look at friends and relatives and think you're a loser who fucked up, you'll end up homeless... never travel... all your hard work was for nothing. It's hard not to for me.

It's funny you say you revealed sensitive information. My data was hacked and now I am waiting to see if something bad will happen.

I'm trying to be mindful. Its very, very hard.

I'm sorry this happened. We all have vulnerable moments.
