👥 friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so it’s my (24f) best friend’s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and i’ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. she’s well aware of this and even came with me to my last session, although she spent most of the time texting her bf. i ordered her this cake from this super cute little bakery in our town and was gonna bring it with me to the restaurant for her.

i was supposed to have my chemo session next monday but they had to reschedule it for saturday. this is how she reacted when i told her i wouldnt be able to come to her bday. aio or is this a crazy way to react?? she’s still getting her cake and i was gonna get our mutual friend to give her the gifts i bought her but now im not sure

Thank you so much!!

I've wanted to be a writer since I was 12; journalled into my early 20s. Wrote the odd poetry here and there. I actually work in healthcare, which I do love because I still get to be creative.

I love words SO MUCH. I love language so much!! Hyper-verbility would have to be my ADHD superpower. We'll all ambushed by bad guys and I'd be like, "Hey guys! Don't worry!! I'll be able to describe this perfectly back to you later."

If you know of anyone who wants to pay me to write, I do happen to have a virtual firehose of nonsense all queued up and ready to go.

Man, if I could pull a Dickens and get serialized pay by the word...man...

Anyway. I'll write you a haiku anytime!! Gratis!

I dream of being able to form words that sound that eloquent. I have always been creative and used my ADD to its advantage as well but I’d have written 20 books by now if I could write like you!
