So me (f,24) and friend (trans f, 25) are growing apart I’ve noticed since she has gotten a new gf (f,19-20). I have been best friends with them since 2023 since we met through online classes and instantly connected. I helped her with both her transition in 2024 and messy breakup with their ex last June-July.
Well, in Oct of 2025 they met their online friend/gf for the first time and they instantly started dating and moved in together within a week, I was supportive and happy for her even if it’s something I personally wouldn’t do (both age gap and moving in within a week). My friend and her gf moved from the east coast where me and her lived to California where the gf is originally from. And we have talked only a few times since February and anytime I have texted her it’s been “read” and I barely hear from her anymore. I went through my own personal family death a year ago and she helped me and Ik she cared for me then but now it feels like I barely talk to her and vice versa, like she is head over heels with this girl and I’m happy but she could find time to message me? Like 2 minutes or something, and I know we have a 3 hour timezone difference but still not an excuse or anything. (I have instagram art friends from other countries and they still respond!)
and she knows I hate ghosting and people not responding fast or at least in 24-48 hours. I feel so lost and it just feels like another friend leaving me for their partner or just in general and I’m tired of it. I don’t mean to vent but don’t want to feel alone either.

I was at my desk drawing (around 11:00 pm) and a tiny spider was on my desk and eventually went to the side of my desk and right as I grabbed something to catch it with, it scattered away. I already checked my desk organizer, desk drawers, floors and walls and feel grossed out knowing I can’t simply grab it and flush it down the toilet, I hate the thought of it scattering about and putting it’s grubby feet all over my stuff, can anyone help my anxiety? Tmrw I feel like wiping down my desk, organizer checking my drawers again.

I had to put on a second screen protector after failing my first one lol but the wipe that came with the kit (a cheap one from 5 below) was already dried out. For the second one I used a great value disinfecting wipe (because I had touched my phone with a bare screen since doing one screen protector yesterday and one today). Then I used a microfiber cloth then applied the new screen, will my phone or original screen layer be affected at all?
