Iโ€™m sorry you lost your baby cake too. Itโ€™s so hard and I feel so silly being hurt over a fishโ€” but he was my fish

Itโ€™s not silly at all. I hate that we grew up hearing โ€œitโ€™s just a fishโ€ so commonly, even still common. It isnโ€™t โ€œjustโ€ anything. Itโ€™s a living thing that you willingly gave your time/effort and built a bond with. (And anyone that thinks you canโ€™t build a bond with a fish is just ignorant and doesnโ€™t know how to treat a pet.) You lost a beloved pet and you deserve the space to grieve that properly. Remember itโ€™s okay to allow yourself that, friend.๐Ÿซ‚

Itโ€™s hard work giving a fish proper care too! Also I wrote a research paper over the bond between humans and pet fish, itโ€™s 100% real
