Today I saw a little albino fish at work and I got excited, but I realized I have no one to share it with lol.

Some days the loneliness hits a little harder than others, and tonight just seems to be one of those nights I suppose. I figured maybe I can curb the feeling a bit by striking up a conversation with a stranger.

Feel free to DM as well if you’d like a friend too! Or if you’re looking for some kind of connection that you can’t seem to find irl. (Hopefully this is allowed?) I promise I will share a photo of my albino fish 🙂

    Hi there! I’m home after 11 days in hospital following an accident and I’m actually enjoying a bit of solitude.

    Hospital was full-on busy, day and night, new nurses and doctors every day, in different wards with a passing array of patients and their visitors, I can’t tell you how many new people I met, it was crazy. Added to that were the constant queries from nurses about my bowel movements, being woken in the night to have my blood pressure checked, having my regular meds doled out like I was a child. I’m extremely grateful for the care, but I was champing at the bit to get away.

    Here at home I have a big knee brace on 24/7 for at least another month, and have been assigned a carer to visit morning and evening to help me wash and dress. It’s a great motivation to do as much as possible myself! A few friends have visited but I have long stretches of alone time, not able to leave the house. It’s good at the moment, but I wonder how I’ll feel in the next couple of weeks. I know the number of visitors will dwindle as I’m not able to join in activities and get sort of forgotten about.

    Where do you work that you see fish?
