It's time for some truth. For the most part, #quarantinelife doesn't bother me. I have always wanted to work from home full time. I love not having that damn commute. It frees up so much of my time.
That said, work since quarantine began has been tough. I have tried not to complain, because I know how lucky, blessed, whatever, I am, & I don't want to hurt other people who have had it much, much worse, but it's been tough.
On top of that, being the drama queen that I am, as today approached, I got pretty sad. You see, when I talk about my squad, & post Fast & Furious gifs or songs or whatever? I'm not kidding. I have a group of friends that matter very much to me, & an extended Twitter family too.
The thing is, we don't get to see each other in the flesh that often, if ever. 7 Jaguars games a year, maybe a few other get togethers, but that's about it. It doesn't change how much they mean to me, it just is what it is.
That's why I've made such a big deal about my birthday for the last 6 years. To get as many of you into one place as possible, because I love seeing you, & because I know that smaller squad won't miss it, & they don't. We're always together today.
Sometimes there's drama, sometimes there's not, sometimes there's Carmine's, there's ALWAYS alcohol, but we get together, & it makes my heart so happy. As this year got closer, I got into a dark mood, because I knew we weren't going to. 😔
This morning I woke up & felt ashamed for that. I've got so much to be grateful for in life, my family, my situation, all of you, that it just felt stupid to be upset because we won't see each other this year on my birthday.
So I decided instead to post some pictures from the birthdays we have celebrated together. Please, please, please add your own pics to this thread if you want to. I love all of you, I hope you're all safe, & we'll see each other soon. – at Fly's Tie Irish Pub
