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.

I get the idea, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s just how it reads to me.

Without overthinking it, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that friction is hard to ignore Others will probably see it differently.

If you zoom out, the direction makes sense but the details are messy Time will tell. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

To be fair, the main issue seems to be how this is handled

Real talk, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that friction is hard to ignore Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

If we’re being honest, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s the key detail here. That’s just how it reads to me. That’s just my read on it.

At first glance, the timing matters more than people admit Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Looking at this, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why this is getting picked apart Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Honestly, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what makes this interesting. That’s the impression it gives me.

Stepping back, the timing matters more than people admit so the response doesn’t surprise me Time will tell.

this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s just my read on it.

From the outside, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that friction is hard to ignore

Trying to be fair, this solves one problem while creating another That’s what changes the context. Let’s see what happens next.
