Diary of an NPC (Needy Poor Creature)

Question 2/348: What is your biggest insecurity, and why?  OH MY GOD okay I already know where this is going to go but: losing friends. Now time for another long ass story and explanation... I'm a very sentimental person. It is very difficult for me to let go of something that I like, and I like something/someone very easily. Maybe it's because I don't have high expectations of people or things, and so long as I vibe with them and they don't give big red flags I'm okay with them. But, I think the reason I hold onto something so dearly is because I always think that if you get used to losing something, then you won't truly appreciate what you have in a given moment and you won't cherish it, and you end up treating something as transactional and you neglect the purpose that thing/person had with you.  The more time I spend with someone, the more memories I have, and that means that we have more shared moments and things that ultimately remind me of the person....

Question 1/348: What is something I wish I could forget?  Honestly, I've had many regrets in life. But that's normal...I think? I mean, I don't know anyone who goes around without any regrets over the choices they've made for however long they've lived. As much as there are happy-go-lucky people, the saying also goes that "the people who seem the nicest are often those who have the most hurt bottled up inside" (or it goes something along those lines BUT you get the idea).  Personally, if I had to pick one specific incident, I would say that I wish I could forget about the time when I went ahead with opening my house for mahjong when I was coughing (quite badly). To be clear, here's the timeline:  3rd July 2023 (Monday) - helped my CCA at the sports camp booth. Ended up losing my voice completely 12th July - start of freshmen orientation (FO) run 1. My cough was already 95% gone, just a bit of a linger of dry cough. And I never tested positive for covid...
