vent post. my dog passed very suddenly back in october at around 3am. ive never been very good at actually showing how much i care or how deeply something impacted me out of fear of being judged or laughed at. and in the moment i did feel a bit silly for caring so deeply about an animal. i really tried to rationalize and logic my way out of grief. this account has been the only thing ive ever had in my entire life that has been 100% mine and i felt the need to make my emotions about that night tangible in some way. this post can be ignored and i dont mean to sound callous but im overall over it. ive made peace with my grief. my family always told stories about how dogs wait to help their owners cross a big river to get to the afterlife on the other side. thats where i think my dog is now. waiting for me. i will just let time pass. thank you max.
