Just when I have to put an animal down. Even then, very little and only in private. I just don’t understand how people can feel so comfortable losing control. I’m aware my option on this is no longer the popular one. Just being honest.
It's part of what makes me... me. The people around me know me as a competent person who's always got a plan and will always fight through emergency situations with a cool head. They also know I'm not dealing with the loss of a family member well. What would I gain by forcing myself to hide that fucking, goddamn pain that comes like a crushing wave sneaking up on me all the time? I'll sit there with red eyes riding that out for a little, you guys deal with the world until I'm back.
