  1. CW: CW: financial hardship, debt, bankruptcy

    Good morning.
    (Or is it? 😅)

    I need to make a decision soon, and I really, really don't want to.

    I'm heading towards bankruptcy, with all the delightful consequences that entails. Not because my business has stopped earning - it's struggling, yes, but it's still earning.

    The problem is that I lent money to my flatmate and partner. They were supposed to pay me back. They've had three months. There have been promises. Week after week after week.

    And somehow, remarkably, the money has remained entirely theoretical.

    I might have handled this rather better if I hadn't spent three months believing all those promises and excuses.

    Oh well. Lesson learned, I suppose.

    Coffee first. Existential financial crisis afterwards. ☕🙂
