I think my Lemmy friend has died. (lemmy.world)

He was palliative with cancer, and on the palliative ward when we last talked, I haven't heard from him in four weeks so I assume it's happened. He was only 40 and had had a kidney transplant, and was awaiting a debulking surgery for a very large tumour, and then got a fungal infection and was admitted. I am going to assume that ended up ending badly.

I'll miss you friend. I enjoyed our talks. He did get a cruise in and was writing a book before he apparently passed. So those are good things, but I really will miss him. Be nice to people, Lemmy.

I appreciate your kind words.

And you pretty much nailed it on both fronts.

I listened to some shrink talking on the radio probably over a decade ago. She mentioned that it wasn't abnormal for her patients to say they don't know what they enjoy.

I matured late and had kids young. My kids are adults now.

I don't have hobbies or interests. I've been busy working .

My boss pissed me off the other day. I could find an easier job. Maybe take a pay cut.

What else would I do though?

I don't have hobbies, I don't really want one. I don't have friends, and I never really wanted them. I do have family and people who love me don't worry.

I don't have friends, hangout spots, hobbies, TV shows I binged. I don't even know what I like. So I guess I work? I should probably find something. Not mineral collecting but maybe trains?
