I got a notification of DM response from an old friend I haven’t spoken to in a while
He’s since gotten married, so I’d messaged him to say congrats

His message as shown in the notification : “TAAARAAAAAAA!!!!!”

I waited till he was done sending messages and opened our chat

This was this morning. I looked at my comfy little guy lounging on a king size bed he had all to himself and gazing out the window watching the birds.

I’m so lucky we found each other.

But I can try and apply a bandaid here and there or be the cheerleader for the legislators who ARE trying to fix it.
