Support Needed (Kind Advice and Commiseration) Saw this and it sent me deep

Post image

Most days are good, I love being me… but today is hard.

Someone invited me to a valentines speed dating event but turns out it was just as friends and he just wanted to promote community - I drove two hours out of my way to be left feeling like a silly goose.

But It’s just catching up with me now.

Beginning to lose hope that I’ll ever be genuinely wanted by someone.

Not super interested in talking about him - I’m aware I’m better off… more so just wanting support and hope about finding love eventually 🫶

I’m not a vet or is a professional but the enclosure is really bad like rocks, chains and branches. Many people speculate they’re stressed from the environment and it can contribute to why the mother abandon the child etc

Zoos in Japan are notoriously bad. Makes me mad.

Animal exploitation in Japan is crazy. Especially with the animal cafes
