    This is going to sound real dumb, but my PC that I just spent a lot of money building breaking before I could even play a single game.

    I don’t get very frustrated or sad at things breaking, it is what it is, I’ve built PCs before, there’s always something going wrong and I handle and repair things in my other hobbies. I drive an old car and an oldish motorcycle and sometimes people disappoint you and sometimes you get two flat tires in a week and it’s bad but it’s gonna be OK and I can power through. Something about this one really depressed me so much so that I spend basically in bed all day yesterday. I was so goddamn sad that it’s stupid, but I also spend around two and a half grand on a thing that should have been an easy build and it doesn’t even boot now. I’ve more or less made peace with it now, I just have to RMA some parts, but holy moly that broke my heart in the dumbest way possible.

    I think I handled the last two deaths/funerals than this. I gotta talk to a pro about this, because this isn’t normal. There’s something wonky going on there that I need a brain mechanic to scrape loose.

      Resonates with me, because at times I just wanted something to be light and to work without struggle or being difficult. To just cut me a break so to say. And then when it didn’t work it’s like realising that being a grown up sucks. That’s kind of depressing.
