again, boundaries
yesterday was so… incredible, even for just those 20 minutes we had. but, now i feel a sort of emptiness. those times are such a tease, and when i can’t have them whenever i want, it’s hard not to feel a little raw.
this is not your fault or mine. this is just how it is right now.
adorkabledawn asked: hey lady thanks for the support! <3 I was trying to figure out a way to answer you within my blog post but I have NO IDEA how to do that lol. How are you?

waaaahhh
got called into work tonight for a few hours. i can and definitely should extrovert myself, so i said yes. i am currently regretting that decision, because all i wanna do right now is take a nap.
i have no desire to put on makeup. or pluck my eyebrows. or be around people. not because i’m in a bad mood, actually. more so because i’m tired and i don’t want to have to deal with...

yaaaayyyyy today!
so i let my parents claim me on their taxes this year, and that turned out to be a very wise choice. they’re gonna use the money we get back to help me with a down payment for a car! now all i need is for this new job to come through and i’ll be set for my new start.
positive vibes are welcomed :)

good morning
sitting at sbux in granary square, and realizing that i’m surprisingly awake for how little coffee i’ve consumed, on top of how little sleep i got last night. it’s also colder than i anticipated, and all i have is a small sweater. i’m amazing at planning these sorts of things. you’d think living in CA my whole life would teach me to always have a change of clothes?

boundaries are really difficult to establish, and even harder to keep. i’m learning so much about myself right now. it’s really hard to see a process as good if there’s so much pain involved.

i am so grateful. and shining through the thick layer of sadness my heart is diseased with, is a ray of sunshine, the happy realization that i actually have a really strong support system.
thank you to everyone who has listened to me, given me rides when i needed it, allowed me to crash in your houses, bought me drinks (haha), and just… been there. i happen to be acquainted with some...

PRAISE ALL HIGHER POWERS.
you don’t even know how fast i boned out of there.
HOLY FUCK I’M GOING TO EXPLODE. trying so hard to keep it together at work.
okay okay okay
sorry for the negativity. i won’t delete my last post because i needed to vent and it does display what’s going on AND how i feel about it, but i will say that i do need to continue working on my positivity, and what better way to test my strength than through all types of adversity? this year has presented so many more challenges than in years past combined, and it’s not even...

yeah, i heard back from the girl whose lease i was going to take over, informing me that she decided to “go a different route”. okay, i get that the offer i was making wasn’t the best, but i fucking neeeeeeeeeeded that deal. back to the drawing board on that one, i guess.
OH also i’ve yet to hear back from the job i interviewed TWICE for, when they said they’d call...

this week has a lot of promise
i could be getting a new job AND hearing back about an apartment that i checked out today (i loved it, btw!). i’ve done all i can do to make these things work for myself, so hopefully that’s enough. please send positive vibes my way, everyone :)
