another quick thought about 🌹

came across this post: https://www.tumblr.com/dailyfoodlovers/739910310013616128?source=share

"hey do you have a discord with a vent channel my teen therapist got grounded again so i need somewhere else to get my feelings out lol"

and it reminded me how 🌹 would either vent a lot to people younger than him (kids in high school while he was in college) and specifically waited for some of these younger folks to come online before he'd vent in our vent channels.

funnily enough, he had a habit of venting so much that even our younger friends got fed up with it and stopped letting him do it. one of them even put a conversation he had with 🌹 into one of his daily comic strips, where he had told 🌹 to get himself a journal. good on them for setting boundaries!
