    @kosmoskitten Very glad to hear he's safe and sound and no harm came to him!

    An old friend of mine from college (anime club) is missing. His family opened up a missing persons report today as his car is missing, but his place looks like he was meant to return (his cat was still there, awaiting his return.. and he'd never go away on a trip without him). He can't be contacted nor traced through his phone, no one has seen his vehicle and he hasn't been on any socials since Friday evening.

    His family is concerned he may have had an accident (it being a snowy place at the base of some mountains and all). His old anime group from college (us) are trying to reach out to everyone and inform them as some of us, he still routinely contacts and last I checked a few minutes ago, his Steam profile was still online and active. We're trying to amass anyone who may have had contact with him or might know where he was heading on Friday evening to see if the vehicle can be located or to see if anyone outside of where he lives may have had contact with him recently to get some insights. So far, though.. nothing has been found.

    ETA: As I finished writing this, his family contacted everyone on FB to let us know he *was* found. He is safe as well. A happy ending for once.

    I am so glad he was found, some good news indeed. I thought about his poor cat, they don't know what's happening. I hope they are both doing well and I hope you are doing good too.

    I think I've given up on trying. Whether it be work, home, or personal... what's the point? We (I) spend all this time and energy doing all these things that people say I'm supposed to do, but for what? None of it matters. There's always more to do. There's always someone else that needs something. There's always more frustration and disappointment around the next corner. If all paths lead to the same outcome, why shouldn't I take the one of least resistance?

    I think much like you. But I have kids and people who depend on me. That's how I justify keeping on.

    I don't let people know the real me because then they don't have the ability to hurt the real me...I have built up a big enough wall around my heart and soul that no one is getting in

    My brain is reeling at the moment. :( DH retired around the first of the year. He was close to many former co-workers. One of them committed suicide about a week ago; they had the memorial this afternoon. He's home an hour from that and gets a call from another former peer from work and a good buddy of his, their daughter was killed last night in a hit and run. I had her and her brother in my daycare when she was about 5. I'm stunned. Just stunned and shaken. She was 20.

    Im so sorry Reenie.. sad, such a young life cut short 😔
    And very sad that your SO ex coworker felt they couldn't go on.. so very sad for those they leave behind as well.
