just gettin by

My life has really taken a lot of turns in the past year. I went to a field school for a month in the summer and came to the realization that my relationship was unhealthy and I needed to start doing things to better myself. I broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years, moved in with my best friend and his wife, moved into one of my best friends family’s house, went from having 2 animals to 0 animals (my cat is on semi-permenant vacation at my parents), met a new guy but it’s nothing official after seeing each other for almost 6 months, made new friends, went from being in classes with 8+ friends to being in classes with no friends, got a bunch of new tattoos, struggling with money but trying to be a generous person. idk man. i’m just doing what i can. i’m starting to act upon making my own happiness in life and being more selfish in that way. we’ll see how long i last.

i was reflecting back on my 3 year relationship and am thankful it wasn’t a waste of time. i have grown as a person and have figured out how i wish to be treated and what i’m looking for in my future.

i officially moved out of my first apartment and my heart hurts tbh
