My train was stopped in the middle of my ride home because of a terrorist attack, I may have missed the last ever chance to celebrate with my great-grandmother because my entire extended family got COVID, my hometown is desperately trying to prevent a huge flood and when i found out that i would be sad and lonely on christmas my muslim friends ghosted me :) So its a mix of some circumstances.
We... May have to close this thread early, I think you won.
Please remember that it is okay to be sad - sometimes it's literally the only correct response to a situation:-).
Holy shit, where do you live? Sorry to hear about your missed chance to celebrate with your great-grandma.
I was curious too, based on the timing I think they live somewhere in Europe and have family in Germany. There have been attack threats in Cologne
Yea without disclosing anything too specific: I have to drive through cologne to get home. The entire region is having problems with floods, but my city is facing additional complications.
As if the train rides around there aren't shitty enough as is.
The train ride actually reassured me that moving far away was the right choice. Where I live now the trains are on point and you see beatiful landscapes instead of coal reactors and warehouses while riding them.
