I just had such an exhausting week.
My best friend’s dad, who is the closest thing I will ever have to a dad, has a heart attack. He is getting better, but still extremely stressful.
A day later, I find out a new friend’s sister has died. Though I didn’t know the sister really, I still felt the loss of her light. Her and her family are so warm and sweet, it breaks my heart to see them suffer such a loss.
At this point, as a empath and someone with major depressive disorder, I am all out of spoons. I was at the tattoo shop when I found this out. I talked with my coworkers about it and decided to finish the work day.
As I’m leaving work, I say bye to one of the artists, Spider, at the shop. Very normal end, to my day at work.
Not even 15 minutes after I left work, I get a frantic text from a co-worker saying that Spider is having a heart attack. He died outside of the shop, and was revived in the ambulance.
I thought he would be okay, but I found out last night he passed.
He was such a sweet dude. He was always so patient with me when I asked him questions about tattooing. He always got me coffee, and made me laugh. We talked about hardcore music, and his weird obsession with Breaking Benjamin. Like the dude played one of their albums on constant repeat in the shop.
I’m not looking forward with going back to the shop and not seeing him. It’s gonna be so weird.
