Down and away

I’m not being playful when I say get a cat or a dog. I would be so lonely without my pets. Humans do let you down. They cannot fill that part of your soul or heart that feels empty, at least not for long. Hang in there. Keep on truckin’. I totally understand wanting a ‘break’ from it all, to zone out. Go ahead, do a bit of anesthesia, but don’t stay there for too long please. And don’t drive in a state of altered mind. You would feel horrible later if you drove and either killed or injured someone else.
Once you are more stable in life again, occasionally reach out to help someone else. That is a true balm for the soul.

One addition: If you cannot take care of a pet, please don’t get one. Dogs require a lot of time. They have to poop and pee outside, and be walked. Cat’s are much easier to care for, use a litter box, and just as loving once you bond. And you must be able to afford food and medical care for them.
