"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner”? - Heat

I love this quote. I live my life by it. Don't get too attached to anything, not because of any "heat", but because it'll fuck you up when it ends. Seeing someone that I care about get sick and die is too much for me. You've gotta be built different to endure that. Owning a dog comes with the understanding that eventually that will happen. I think it's too much for me. My parents dog, Shadow, who helped me, was a great friend to me, has a month if lucky left. I saw him today over zoom, he looked good, normal, but he is dying. I don't know if I want to see him again, it might be too much for me. It's gonna be terrible losing him, but I've distanced myself from him moving out a few years ago. I don't know what I would do if I still lived with him while he came to his conclusion. I'm not built for that
