Was just thinking this morning I'll probably never be in a relationship again, which is depressing as hell. Honestly, this is why I have dogs. I've had suicidal ideations but knowing these two depend on me keeps me going. Plus, dog snuggles. Plus, endorphins from walking them is another bonus.

Hoping you can find some form of love from other beings. And be kind to yourself. You are worth all the kindness, don't let anyone convince you otherwise!
