#big important life update to internet strangers 🫶

[jen-with-a-pen]

Hi everyone

I doubt anyone will actually read this, but this is just my little shout into the void in regards to a huge life event :)

I graduated college today.

Okay so I actually graduated in December, but I got to walk with my friends and have my family see me and all that.

I have waited my whole life for this and not many people outside of my partner and best friends know this, but I almost didn't make it.

Last year, and ever since, Ive struggled heavily with suicide and suicidal ideation. I thought I wasn't gonna live to see my 21st birthday, let alone my graduation. On top of being the oldest daughter and first gen kid of my parents, a massive pandemic and isolation, and debilitating mental health (thanks Zoloft fuck you), I'm honestly amazed I made it.

But I made it, though. I made it out alive.

I've been fortunate enough to have been working full-time in my field since January, alongside my partner of 5½ years finally getting to move in with me. I am in no way bragging or turning my nose up at others, but I do want to acknowledge my privilege and place in life right now that puts me ahead of others that I graduated with. I'm extremely fortunate to have even found work, let alone doing what I love and for a good cause.

I'm just proud. Proud of myself. And my body. And my brain. We made it here. I made it here.

This really didn't have an end goal message or anything. I just needed to get it off my chest.

Here's a pic of my kitty cat if you've made it this far. And my university stole. Hopefully I didn't just doxx myself lol

Anyways, thanks for reading. Hopefully I'll be writing more soon. Who knows? Life is fucking weird.

Heya hiya! Been a while since I've said anything, and I'm not sure if I've been off anon before, but hi! First off, you're gorgeous, love the content as always. Second off, I always see your tags on other people's content of, like, "I wish I was this pretty" or something like that. As a random internet stranger, I don't feel properly equipped to help in any real way, but anyone can have eyes and notice things. You are sincerely one of the most gorgeous people I have ever seen in my life. My stupid sexy sideblog is basically just a fan account for you at this point, there's so little else that's held my interest for as long as you have. It just feels important to say out loud that, regardless of how you view yourself, your attractiveness is not diminished. Third, and arguably most importantly, I love that *freaking* cat, didn't even know she was a girl??? I haven't been on tumblr much lately, such an important update for the little creature. She's gorgeous, we love.
