I grew up as an only child. Let’s say I’m spoiled.

My birthday was last week. I’ve been sick this week with possibly Covid 19. Currently awaiting results.

I’ve been staying with my boyfriend, whom for my birthday didn’t do anything special for me. This week, although I’ve been sick and all, to stay busy, I’ve been cooking for us, and doing some chores around the house.

Today I asked him to cook spaghettis. He had 45 min before he “had to do something” enough time to at least start making the pasta. I would have helped finish it. He said no “because he had something to do at ...” “ I can make it when I’m done at 5”. This got me feeling some type of way.

Right now, I honestly wish I could be spoiled. I want to feel taken care of. I honestly think I miss my mother. Specially because I’m sick.

I can’t tell her that I miss her because she will take it as something to be worried about. She is abroad and can’t come to the US due to the situation. I don’t want her to worry either. I also don’t feel with all that’s going on any of my friends have the mental and emotional space to hear me out. I feel I don’t have anyone to talk to right now.
