My cat howling like he was hurt downstairs, he was just offended that he could see the bottom of his bowl. Fed him and sat next to him crying as he paid me no mind and chomped away.

Somehow thinking about my cat hits me harder than thinking about my parents. They're great people, I have no reason for this preference, but like, I couldn't make my cat understand what happened to me. Aw fuck I'm tearing up.

This is how I felt moving out of my parents house. I love my parents, and they know where I am... But the dogs, the dogs only know that I'm gone and there's no way to explain that I'm not far away but it still makes me sad. It makes me wonder if they wonder.

God that had me in tears when I moved to college, not that I’d be away from my parents and siblings, I can text/call/FaceTime whenever I want.

But to my dogs I was just gone, they were always so excited when I’d come home to visit or over holiday break.

My lowest point during covid was when I was at school and they had to put our old dog down and I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye, I thought he had more time… I still miss him, he was the best at snuggles…
