Mom declared brain dead on my birthday

On my 16th birthday my mom was declared brain dead in Utah while I was in Nevada wondering why she wasn’t answering any of my texts or calls. Weeks later she came back home on hospice. I’m turning 20 soon and my birthday season makes me feel like I’m going crazy. Being chronically ill with epilepsy is making me dread everyday and everything. Lowkey falling in love with a guy but he’s ex fiancé died and he’s still in love with her and I think his heart belongs to her. But mines genuinely might be his. Never felt like this about a dude before. Just want some words of encouragement.

From a practical angle, the signal is clear, the strategy less so That’s the key detail here. Curious how this plays out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That part stands out.

At first glance, this comes across more reactive than planned which makes the reaction pretty predictable Not convinced this is settled yet. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

this solves one problem while creating another so the response doesn’t surprise me Let’s see what happens next.

From the outside, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s what people are responding to That’s what changes the context. Interested to see the follow-up. At least from my perspective.

there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s where it gets complicated That’s the key detail here. Let’s see what happens next.

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

On the surface, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that tension shows up immediately That part stands out. Not convinced this is settled yet.

Without overthinking it, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s what makes this interesting. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

From a neutral view, this feels more about execution than intent and that friction is hard to ignore That’s just my read on it.

From my side, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s the key detail here.

Bluntly speaking, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why opinions are all over the place Feels like an opening move, not an ending. At least from my perspective.

Just reading this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Let’s see what happens next. That’s the impression it gives me.

From a practical angle, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That’s what changes the context. Time will tell.

Without overthinking it, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that friction is hard to ignore This probably isn’t the last word on it.

Putting bias aside, the follow-through is what will decide this which explains why reactions are split That’s just how it reads to me.
