How I experience loss

This is kind of a follow up on my girlfriends cat. I dont normally play games(well games that dont give me a reward). After Fang left I started playing all kinds of phone games, really any game. I really just wanted to play any game. Today it stopped.

I am trying to figure out why I wanted to play a game to begin with. I know I go through cycles. Today as it ended. I think I like to play games when something happens I can not control or fix. Games have rules. Life does not really have the set rules or limits. I also can not hit the reset button in a game. In life you really could just leave your house walk off, and change your entire world. Maybe good maybe bad but once you do this your stuck. I also started playing a phone game when my dad passed. I think it had dragons in it.

Life is way more interesting. Now I am searching there has got to be a fun way to learn languages. This may be my next post. I did Duolingo is was fun I may start that again.

My girlfriend’s cat

My girlfriend’s cat was put to sleep Sept 9th. After doing this we went to a bar. There was a strange energy. It was the day after this guy named Jamie’s 44th birthday. He said no one had remembered his birthday. Not it 13 year old daughter, ex wife, or anyone at work or friends. He was out drinking on a Friday night to celebrate his birthday. Jamie bought be me a spicy bloody mary. He had been doing his job for a couple of years and he wanted to do something different. He had a friend from work he had known 10 years that was having his first kid, he had been married 1.5 years. Just seemed odd like the world was trying to tell me something.

That weekend we went to do the Virginia Creeper trail. Just been thinking about the cat(Fang). I guess my brain started to remember all the pets I cared about that died. Popcorn(also called stupie), Jac(also called squeaky), and Gertrude. I also thought a lot about my dad.
