My landlord is an old dude who always tries to talk to us so much and it’s kinda irritating. I’m always nice to him but usually I try to keep it short. Today I was outside when he was here and we talked for like 45 minutes just about random stuff and then he told me

That it was nice to talk to someone who actually listened and I just got sad and then he told me that his wife had a brain aneurysm and for the past 15 years she hardly talks and that he basically just talks at everyone and he knows people think he’s annoying

My heart is broken. I’m glad I could talk to him and listen to him even just for a little bit & even if I didn’t really want to or care about what he had to say because he seemed so happy when he told me about his wedding anniversary coming up. He just needed someone to talk back

he’s really crafty & he said “I don’t even know what to get her for our anniversary. we’ve been together so long that there’s nothing we haven’t done” and he told me he loves astronomy so I told him he should make a collage with their pics & stars & stuff & he got so tickled :’(

So this was my reminder and maybe if you guys needed one that sometimes the person who seems really annoying or comes on too strong just needs someone too :(

And now I’m gonna go cry bye
