i feel like i’m finally getting better at managing my money and my time. i am hopeful that i will really explore some new hobbies this year. my car got broken into over the weekend and it felt very defeating to have a set back. i cried a lot the last few days, only for the release. tom moisturized me after my shower the other night and woke me up with water when i couldn’t stop coughing in my sleep. he is the greatest source of light in my life. things are on track. i’ll be back in mexico in less than four months.

tom found out this guy was making his sister uncomfortable at work. he insisted he sit at her bar until she felt comfortable that he wouldn’t come in. he never came in. after he drove my car home for me and held an ice pack to my swollen arm. today’s day 1 of my 10 day work stretch.

lol being in a relationship for the first time since my abusive ex has manifested my trauma in new ways aka i have horrible nightmares about my new partner abusing me the way my last one did. it’s kind of... cathartic. it feels like i’m finally moving on.

i will be back on a 9-5 schedule in a couple of weeks. i’ve decided to not go home for the holidays to save myself the grief. i am quitting the shelter job and will miss working around women only. i have been practicing guitar and trying to read more. my surgery was 2.5 weeks ago and i’ve healed almost completely. i feel like a completely different person if that’s possible. being with tom makes me feel so good and secure. i have a 4-day weekend and we’re going on our first mini getaway together. i feel like i could burst.

this is the first time i’ve had a (not long distance) boyfriend in over 3 years and i’m like lowkey freaking out but dang it’s nice to finally feel appreciated and cared for.
