NOT SO BERRY

The days following Astrid and Eduardo’s breakup blurred into weeks which quickly turned into months. It felt like the longest three months of her entire life. Each day was filled with the same repetitive routines at work, cleaning up the house and watching her children grow further and further away from her. She’d never felt so alone, stuck in an endless loop of a song she didn’t like. Her only two friends seemed to always be too busy for a five minute phone call, Iris was always preoccupied with school and work and the twins had been spending a lot of time with their father who just so happened to had gotten married to her brother Leo; she hadn’t even gotten in invitation to the wedding. 

Her thirty-second birthday was slowly creeping up on her and she didn’t feel a single ounce of excitement. Is this what it was like growing older? Was she bound to feel this insufferable loneliness and hopelessness forever or was it just a bump in the road?

// hello, lovelies! if you haven’t noticed, i’ve been slowly writing longer and more detailed captions to add more depth and story to my gameplay! not gonna lie, i’m pretty insecure about my writing skills and storytelling abilities but i have to start somewhere, right? i have plans for it, especially plans revolving around the situation astrid is in right now and i’m going to do my absolute best to portray her struggles correctly ( as someone who has recurring depression – which is what astrid is going through, she just isn’t aware of it yet – i want to do right by anyone who also has this mental illness) so if you have any thoughts on how i can more accurately show what she’s going through please let me know! i’m not always the best at explaining how i – or my character’s – feel through words so i’m trying my best! ♥ love, pootaint.
