    Hi Zerlyna!

    I really appreciate you commenting to check on me. It honestly made me feel very cared for and I’m immensely grateful - thank you!

    I’m very happy to report that life has gotten a lot better since I made this post.

    1. I stopped talking to and caring about my ex. When the relationship ended, I felt like I woke up in a new world which I hated at first, but now I’ve grown to love it.

    2. I made a very close friend. I used to think I could never trust anyone this deeply again. But it turns out I met a new person and we care about each other a lot. I really enjoy every exchange we have and I’m so glad that the feeling is mutual.

    3. I can hardly believe it - but I have a crush (a different person than 2). Like 2, she’s also someone I met recently and our daily conversations are so fun and effortless. I’m expecting a no when I ask her out, but that’s okay! Merely knowing that I’m capable of these feelings again shocked me.

    4. I’d been talking about interpersonal improvements so far, but for myself, I realized that I don’t care about spending the rest of my life here anymore. I need to go on an adventure. I feel like I’m finally able to focus on spending the time I’ve been given on this earth on my own journey.

    To summarize, I think I’m finally learning the art of letting go and I’m building up meaningful relationships.

    That’s enough yapping from me! I almost feel bad for talking this much about myself. I’m sorry to hear about your bad day. Please feel free to share if there is anything on your mind, you are always welcome to . If you’d rather not, that’s just as fine and I genuinely hope that positive things are just around the corner for you too. Thanks again for your check-in and good wishes, I genuinely appreciate you a lot and wish you just the same.


















  • I’m a cyclist. Delivery drivers and emergency services have to park in no-parking zones to do their job. It doesn’t make sense to park anywhere except on the very right of the road (or left in left driving countries). And that just coincides with the bike lane.

    Also, on the bike lane, they’ll bother fewer people than on the car lane. At least in the street I live on, fifty cars will pass before one bike does - as unfortunate as that fact is.

    Even if they did park on the car lane, a bike would still have to grind to a near halt because now you have a gap where the driver might pop out in front of their truck to walk to the storefront.

    Delivery drivers also frequently block driveways and prevent cars from going in or out. It’s not like they have a vendetta against bikes.

    I’m also glad they do their job because having goods delivered might be the only viable option if you don’t have a car. And finally, delivery drivers are mostly underpaid immigrants, cut them some slack.
