Yeah, I acted like a jerk a year ago, and let many people down, but everything was put into perspective when I lost my baby, my dog in February, and I realized I sacrificed so much time on Pixelfed and the fediverse that I should have spent with my dog.

Nothing mattered to me more, losing Drake was the worst thing that ever happened to me, and it led me to realize I was a jerk and needed to be humbled.

But not that much 😭

I'm not that jerk anymore, Drake would want us all to thrive together ❤️

@dansup the grief I felt after losing my dog completely destabilized my life. He was my child and it crushed me. The resulting depression is still something that I'm working through years later as is the notion of what is important to focus on in my life. For me, anger and irritability are huge parts of my symptoms which I had no idea about the connection. Not saying that's why you were, but something I often reflect on and work through. I hope you find all the love with your pup. So cute!
