I think it would be fun if Papa V turned out to be Copia's twin who died and came back wrong but still a little bit silly.

&. SASHA VISITS MONA!
who: @fckmonax​ and sasha; preston’s friend. & marlon. where: mona’s place warning: highkey! problematic! - nsfw ig.
SASHA
knocks on the door a few times and waits, scrolling through her phone
MONA
jumps at the sound of a knock on the door, carries ven with her to go open the door “Hopefully you’re not a murderer!” opens the door, grins at sasha, pulls her in for a hug “Wow, I totally forgot I invited you over.”
SASHA
laughs and shakes head, rolling her eyes at mona's comment ''Am I that irrelevant? I don't think so.'' chuckles and gasps when she looks at ven ''YOU'RE SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE, WOW.'' grins widely and strokes Ven's cheek. ''Oh my god, pictures don't do her justice, look at her.'' pouts
MONA
laughs, shrugs “What can I say? My brain has been very occupied with all things Venecia all morning.” steps aside to let her in, grins at the compliments, knows they’re all true “Wanna hold her?”
SASHA
grins, looking like she won the lottery. ''Yes, of course, yeah.''
MONA
chuckles, pushes the door closed “She’s like the easiest baby ever, I promise.” kisses ven’s forehead, carefully maneuvers to hand her off, switches to baby voice “Hey Venny. This is mommy’s friend. She’s gonna hold you for a bit, okay?” doesn’t let got until sasha has her securely
SASHA
grins at both ven and mona and holds her like a pro, placing a hand in the back of V's head. ''Ugh, I already love her so much.'' looks down at Ven and kisses her cheek gently. ''The most beautiful baby ever, I SWEAR.''
MONA
smiles proudly at the two of them getting along so well “Isn’t she just the best? I am totally obsessed with her and I’m glad you can see why.” pulls out her own phone, snaps a pic of them “Seriously, though. I’m not sure what I did to be blessed with a baby girl so perfect. I can’t wait for her to be just like me!”
SASHA
''She really is the best.'' cant stop looking at Ven and giggles when mona snaps a picture of them. ''You need send me that asap.'' nods ''For sure, she's gonna be just as beautiful as you are when she's older, you'll see.''
MONA
nods, immediately sends the photo over ”Oh, please. She’s gonna be prettier than me. We don’t even look like mother and daughter.” pouts
SASHA
furrows brows and looks at Ven and then at Mona. Hums. ''How does her dad's side of the family look like?''
MONA
“Dark hair, dark eyes, tan skin. They’re Puerto Rican.” navigates through phone, pulls up a pic and hands it over “This is her Aunt Mariana. She literally looks more like her than like me.” pouts
SASHA
looks at the pic and frowns, def seeing the resemblance. ''I mean, yeah, she's pretty and all but I'm sure Ven will grow out of it and look more like you as she grows older.''
MONA
“I wouldn’t mind if she continued to look like Mariana though. Mariana’s gorgeous.” shrugs, sighs “Do you want anything to eat or drink?” leads the way towards the kitchen “Preston’s weird about his stuff, so maybe don’t touch anything?”
SASHA
shrugs, not at all impressed by mariana's looks. ''Yeah, I guess she's alright.'' looks down at ven and smiles, blown away by how adorable she is. ''Hm, do you have snacks?'' giggles
MONA
looks at them adoringly, checks through the cabinet for snacks “Looks like we have potato chips... barbecue ones, oreos, an assortment of fruits. Sorry that the selection is kinda lame.” shrugs “We can also go out if you’d like.”
SASHA
hums ''Do you have ketchup?''
MONA
quirks brow “Yes...”
SASHA
“Potato chips with ketchup are a blessing.” grins excitedly
MONA
makes a disgusted face “Would’ve never guessed that you’d be the type for that combo, but who am I to judge?” grabs both the chips and ketchup for her “Want me to grab her?” gestures at a now asleep ven
SASHA
''I can't believe she fell asleep on me.'' smiles and pouts at the baby. ''I love that she's comfortable, ugh but yeah, I'll take her again in a bit.'' very carefully hands ven over
MONA
“She’s probably exhausted from the sleep she didn’t get last night.” takes ven, rocks her to keep her asleep “That and she’s totally comfortable with you.” puts ven in her crib, walks back out with the baby monitor “But I didn’t ask. How are you? How is life?”
SASHA
frowns ''Why? What happened?'' totally walks into the kitchen as if she owns the place and grabs a bowl for the chips and pours ketchup all over them. ''Life is good, a little uneventful at the moment, but good. Michael's been working a lot lately and that's super boring.'' sighs, eating her chips. 'Want some?'' offers the bowl ''What about you? Your life seems to be much more eventful than mine.''
MONA
“No clue. She just had energy all day and night for some reason.” sighs, shakes head “Literally P and I got no alone time.. if you know what I mean.” watches her, genuinely confused by the chip situation, shakes head “Your whole life doesn’t revolve around Michael though, right? - Unfortunately, my whole life does revolve around Venecia.”
SASHA
frowns ''If you ever need alone time, I could help babysit. Just give me a call.'' smiles and shakes head ''No, it revolves around my phone, mostly.'' laughs ''I truly don't have a life but I don't really care, it's fine. I'd love to have more action or drama but I guess I'm lucky I don't.'' shrugs, eats more chips
MONA
“That would be amazing, but that’s what my sisters are for. I would never pass on an irritable Ven to you.” chuckles “I’ll get them to babysit some time while we hang.” shakes head “Believe me you do not want drama. What’s so entertaining on your phone though?”
SASHA
''I doubt she ever gets irritable.'' chuckles, is literally loving her chips. ''But I do, nothing exciting ever happens for me. I wanna be involved in something entertaining. Do you get drama often?'' chuckles ''Honestly, social media, online books and youtube.''
MONA
scoffs “Play one round of peek a boo with her and you’ll see how irritable she can get.” sighs “Honestly.. So much. Like a sex tape of me and my sister’s husband literally leaked a few months back. Drama follows me everywhere, so if I could have it not, that’d be ideal.”
SASHA
gasps, puts the bowl down ''A sex tape with your sister's husband?'' jaw drops ''Please, elaborate.''
MONA
sighs “Well it was old first off, and he wasn’t her husband at the time of filming.. was her boyfriend, though.” shakes head “I probably shouldn’t be telling you this. It’s way too soon for you to know this about me.” chuckles “But we were both just kind of going through weird stages in our relationships and we did something stupid.. multiple times. And I guess at some point in our drugged out, sexed up state, we thought making a video was a good idea.” sighs “I didn’t even remember any of this, but kind of just had to put the pieces together when suddenly there was evidence of it floating around.”
SASHA
is shocked and wide-eyed but lowkey loves everything about the story even though she probably shouldn't. chuckles. ''That's... terrible but amazing.'' chuckles again, shaking her head ''Is he cute?''
MONA
laughs, shakes head "I'm definitely going to hell for it, but you're totally gonna lose some points for that reaction." chuckles "You will not find him attractive. He kind of gives off Jafar from Aladdin vibes." pulls up a pic of marlon on her phone "This is Marlon. He's my best friend."
SASHA
jaw drops again, takes the phone and stares at it for a good 30 seconds before looking back at mona ''Oh... my god!''
MONA
takes her phone back, rolls eyes
SASHA
shakes head, shocked ''Mona, I know him.''
MONA
jaw drops "What?"
SASHA
nods, wide-eyed. ''It's kind of a long story but basically he was my brother's drug dealer for like the longest time and they would hang together and I always thought he was so hot and I was younger than him but I...'' chuckles, shaking her head ''... finessed him and I sneaked him in one night and yeah.'' shrugs and giggles. ''I had like the biggest crush but then he kind of like grew tired of me..'' pouts slightly ''... eventually I got over it, though.'' shrugs dismissively ''But woah, this is so bizzare.''
MONA
stares wide-eyed, listens, shook "Holy shit... He wasn't like, your first or anything, right?" pulls out her phone "I'm texting him right now. Can I invite him over?" laughs, shakes head "This is insane." laughs some more "And you genuinely liked him? Wild." laughs
SASHA
laughs. ''I mean, there was a guy before him but I was really young and  he was basically the first guy I ever had like real sex with but no, he didn't actually took my virginity, my neighbor Jason did when I was even younger.'' laughs and covers her mouth, shaking her hand. ''OH MY GOD! I haven't seen him in forever, that's so embarrassing.'' laughs and nods, figuring that this was truly the most problematic thing happening in her life in the past year or so. ''I liked him so much.'' shakes head, still laughing. ''I thought he was the hottest dude around. - I mean, he is kinda hot but please don't tell Mike I said that.'' chuckles
MONA
finishes writing out her text to marlon, focuses on sasha again "This is truly the strangest coincidence. I'm glad he didn't take your virginity though. That'd make him coming over here a little more awkward than this is already gonna be. " literally just laughs some more, trying to stop, failing "Dude, he's so hot. In a hot chicken kinda way, but hot. Obviously, I think so. I like... risked it all for him. We stayed friends though. Which is truly amazing."
SASHA
nods in agreement ''I only said kinda because I thought you would judge me but yes, he is 100% hot.'' laughs ''He just looks so different from everyone around and his face is so, so nice and okay I shouldn't be saying this but he was like actually good in bed in a lazy, high, kind of way. - I think that made him even hotter.''
MONA
"Why would I judge you? After that story I just told with him as the other person in the scenario? This is a judgment free zone." replies to marlon, continues talking "Oh god, we really shouldn't be discussing this.. but yeah. Those days where it just Marlon and I and a bunch of coke and molly? Some of my best days." groans, shakes head "Don't ever repeat this, obvi."
SASHA
''Of course I won't.'' laughs ''He 100% used me back then, we had sex like four times and he would never even call me or anything.'' shakes head and laughs ''I mean, it was enough for me because it meant he gave me a tiny bit of his attention and–''  M(arlon): literally walks in as if he's walking into his own apartment. ''Ramona, this better be good or else I swear I will shove my fist up yo–'' stops when he notices she has company. furrows brows  S(asha): looks kind of terrified but laughs ''Hi.''  M: raises eyebrows ''What are you doing here?'' looks at Mona ''What's going on?''
MONA
is kind of saddened by her story, doesn't have time to respond "Hey!" looks in between the two of them, a cruel smirk on her face "Marlon, this is my new friend Sasha."
SASHA
S: smiles mischievously and nods ''I'm sure you don't remember me.'' M: raises an eyebrow and shakes head, pretending to be oblivious even though he remembers every single lil detail about sasha ''I don't.'' shrugs, looking back at Mona ''Did you just bring me here to introduce me to a friend?''
MONA
scoffs, offended for her new friend sasha "Marlon, cut the shit. I can see it in your eyes, I know you know who she is, so how about not making her feel even worse than you did when you fucked her and ditched her all those years ago." rolls eyes, looks to sasha "Clearly, you missed out on nothing by him ghosting you."
SASHA
S: smirks, loving mona's attitude ''Yeah, trash.''    M: exhales deeply ''Did you expect me to propose?'' asks sasha, raising an eyebrow ''What are you two even doing together?''    S: ''Not really, a call would've been nice.'' shrugs M: ''It was ten years ago, Sasha. Move on, maybe?'' gives her a look ''Forreal, what's up?''
MONA
"Ah, so you do remember." shakes head "I gotta say, my sister really hit the jackpot with this one." is entertained by the whole situation "Nothing's up. We're friends now. Preston is buddies with her boyfriend, we met through them and realized that we kinda have a lot of common... Clearly more in common than we originally thought since we've now learned that we've both seen a scrawny chicken boy naked."
SASHA
S: laughs, shaking her head. ''I mean, I don't blame him. I've been told I tend to leave an impact on people.'' smirks, grabs her bowl of chips again.
M:  shakes head, staring at sasha and shaking his head when he sees the chips ''See, that's exactly why we never worked out. Why would I ever trust a stan of chips covered in ketchup?'' makes a face ''Disgusting.'' 
S: ''Hey!, don't be a hater.'' rolls eyes at him, hugging the bowl 
M: chuckles ''I guess rich, spoiled brats have a thing for scrawny chicken boys like me.'' smirks ''I can't blame y'all. I would too if I was dating the men you all seem to date.''
MONA
claps hands together, grins "This is amazing." turns to marlon "I was giving her a crash course, like on who I am as a person and why all the drama in my life isn't fun, so I mentioned that leak that happened a couple months back. And she was like no way, details please. And I showed her your pic and she was shook to learn that it was you. I am shook to learn that you two banged... Literally when she was so young, but we'll save that conversation." drapes an arm over marlon's shoulder " But yeah, I was telling her about we're bestest friends and you looove me." pulls him into a hug, dramatically kisses his cheek
SASHA
S: eats her chips, laughs at the summary ''Aww, I'm lowkey sad you guys didn't work out. It would've been so cute.'' half joking
M: nods and looks like the cloe meme as soon as mona is all over him but doesn't even move. looks down at his best friend ''Can you.. not?'' rolls eyes when she kisses his cheek but stays put ''I love her so much she's pulling this type of shit right now and I still haven't punched her in the face.
S: laughs and hums, putting her bowl down and walking over to him and grabbing his face before kissing his other cheek. laughs. 
M: shakes head and pushes the two of them away. ''Get off.''
MONA
"Nah, it was for the best. If the two of us actually became a thing, we probably both would have OD'd by now. Plus, there'd be no Venecia and that isn't even a world I'd like to live in." chuckles when sasha joins in, squeezes him even tighter, scoffs when he pushes them away "I mean, technically we have both gotten you off before... if that's what you meant by get off." winks, knows she's being horribly problematic
SASHA
S: rolls eyes and laughs, eating her chips again. ''I got you off several times. - Remember that one time   I got you off like twice in a three minutes period?'' smirks and looks at mona ''That was my personal best. I did good.'' chuckles
M: Knows hes going to hell and laughs at mona's problematic comment, shaking his head and narrowing his eyes at sasha. ''You want a medal?''
MONA
"Twice in 3 minutes? His little chicken dick was probably weeping with joy that it got THE Sasha," pauses, thinks "I don't know your last name, to BLESS it with her touch." shrugs "I don't know. I think she deserves a medal."
SASHA
S: laughs at mona's comment and nods ''He was so shocked, you could tell I was basically changing his life. - Sasha Cole, that's me.'' laughs ''It's such a pornstar name but I guess it goes well with my life-changing sex skills.'' smirks
M: ''You were also sixteen and I was a grown adult so we should probably never discuss that ever again.'' rolls eyes
S: shrugs ''That didn't stop you from fucking me, did it?''
M: ''It did.'' gives her a look. ''I'm guessing your men don't know y'all are speaking so fondly of my dick, do they?''
MONA
just observes the dynamic of the two of them, so intrigued "Huh. So your morals came into play, just way too late in the game?" shakes head "You guys were so messy. I love it." shrugs "Nobody's man gotta know about this conversation just like your woman doesn't need to know. Simple as that." ven starts crying on the baby monitor, nipples immediately begin to ache and leak "Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back!"
SASHA
S: hums, frowns ''Is that seriously why you never contacted me again?'' furrows brows ''Because of my age?''
M: ''Yes, Sasha. Are you gon' cry about it?'' rolls eyes at her. ''Why would I ever tell anyone about this meeting?'' is immediately interested by P's knives and grabs one, is weirdly fascinated by it.
S: furrows brows and can't believe she's somehow feeling somewhat attracted to marlon at that very moment ''Preston doesn't like people touching stuff, you know?'' brows still furrowed
M: looks at S, staring at her for a second. ''Are you telling him I went through his shit?''
MONA
literally takes her time getting ven, debates feeding her but knows she needs to go back to her guests, carries ven out in her arms "MARLON!! What are you doing? Put that down!" hurries over "Give me that. Now." looks around frantically "Sash, here." unceremoniously hands ven over to ketchup hands, ven is now crYING "I'm not even allowed to touch these, why would you be?" looks through drawers for a cloth to wipe marlon's prints off with, puts hand out for the knife
SASHA
S: jumps a little at mona's reaction and struggles to grab ven without making a ketchup mess all over her baby clothes. starts to kinda rock the baby to sooth her but is watching the whole thing go down with furrowed brows
M: looks mad confused ''What the fuck are you doing?'' gives her the knife ''What.. the fuck.... are you seriously wiping prints off the knife?'' ainsley's face hits his mind ''Stop doing that.'' shakes aisnley's face away and furrows brows 
S: ''Shh, it's okay baby.'' rocks ven
MONA
literally ignores him, wipes the knife off soo thoroughly, carefully inspects it for any leftover marks, hums in satisfaction, returns it to its rightful place "Sorry, he just notices things, okay? And literally like the one rule I have here is to never touch the knives." sighs, stressed suddenly, takes a bottle from the fridge for ven and warms it, holds it out to sasha "It's not you, she's hungry."
SASHA
M: He's deadass so weird.'' shakes head ''You really gon' make ketchup hands feed your child?'' shakes head and takes ven from Sasha with one hand and the bottle with the other, showing pro skills at the whole thing. starts feeding ven and the baby is suddenly quiet and happy to be eating.
S: everything happens so fast that she's just observing, chuckling at how smooth marlon was at taking the baby and feeding her ''That's kinda hot.'' is wide eyed when she realizes she said that out loud.
MONA
"Ketchup hands was the one without a knife. I had to make a decision." shrugs, watches, smiles as he feeds his niece Clearly, you've had lots of practice." raises brows at sasha's comment, knows they've def crossed a line at this point "Sasha!" shakes head, chuckles "Was this a bad idea inviting Marlon over?"
SASHA
M: shrugs, not seeing the big deal ''Being a dad teaches you a thing or two.''
S: giggles and her cheeks start heating up. changes the topic. ''I mean, yeah. Good dads, though.'' shrugs ''Ven's dad can't relate.''
M: raises an eyebrow ''You got something to say, Sasha?'' 
S: laughs ''Hm, yeah. Ven's dad is a flop.'' shrugs, goes back to her chips.
M: ''Your dad is a flop. I mean, his teenage daughter was out there finessing grown man into fucking her.'' furrows brows
S: furrows brows, offended
MONA
cringes, really don't wanna be a part of a convo about fab, lowkey relieved when marlon changes the topic a lil, walks over, lightly and playfully slaps him on the side of his face "What teenager doesn't finesse grown men into fucking them? Shut up." goes over to sasha, pulls her into a hug "Stop being mean to my friend."
SASHA
S: is mad and lowkey sad because she ain't used to people being mean to her ''You were the adult so technically you were the one responsible for it.'' crosses arms over her chest and leans into mona's touch 
M: ''Right, that's exactly why I ended it.'' is annoyed ''Seriously, this was years ago, why are you so pressed? Chill.'' 
S: stays quiet and shrugs
MONA
frowns really upset by the turn this is taking "You're literally just being mean, Marlon." notices sasha going quiet, hugs her tighter, really ain't trying to lose this friend already just bc marlon is mean "Anyways. This was fun and all, but you can go now, Mar."
SASHA
S: gives him a look. ''What do you even get out of being so mean?'' frowns 
M: rolls eyes so far back he caught a glimpse of his brain ''Man, are you still sixteen?'' shakes head and furrows brows before looking down at ven and kissing her cheek and then her forehead. ''Take her.'' carefully hands her to Mona 
S: shrugs slightly again, frowning and hugging mona back ''You're gross.'' @marlon
MONA
frowns, gladly accepts her child, literally just ready for this all to be over "I'll talk to you later, okay?" also @ marlon
SASHA
M: gives mona a look ''Apologize to Hazel, you were gross.'' turns and stares at S for a quick second and reaches for her face, pinches her cheek. ''Toughen up, you're grown now.'' narrows eyes at her. ''You're cute.'' smiles, walks away fully aware he just rocked her world again.
S: is sixteen again and looks up at him, feeling flustered when he calls her cute and furrowing her brows when he leaves
MONA
rolls eyes "Yeah, obviously I will." watches his interaction with sasha, confused and kind of disgusted, shakes head "Alright, enough of that." shuffles him to the door, her hand on his back basically pushing him out "Goodbye, Marlon... We're definitely talking soon."
SASHA
looks like she's about to cry, grabs her bowl but there's nothing there. pouts.
MONA
shuts the door, turns just in time to see sasha's face "Please don't cry!" hurries over and pulls her into another hug, ven squished in the middle "I am so sorry, that was an awful idea."

depresso martini
shit title I know but deal with it.
The people I live with currently stress me out beyond belief. Two people are my absolute rocks (again, you know who you are :) ) and the other two I would love to punch in the face.
signs of discomfort, for lack of a better word...
In the holidays my behaviour became very strange, in short there were a few tell-tale signs of something not being quite right. I bit my nails down to the nail beds, which was so painful I couldn’t even wash dishes without gloves, my psoriasis now doesn’t go away after hand ins, and I clenched my jaw so hard during the day and whilst asleep that I had trouble chewing and now my jaw clicks and gets achy sometimes. So yeah it really do be like that rn.
The reason I hate the fact that all this is happening to me is because I was warned. I was warned that one day my overthinking would begin to affect me (even though I insisted it had no personal effects it was only about others). I was warned that I needed to distance myself from the negative people in my life, it was even suggested I move out - which I choose not to do because it not only lets the other person win, but it means that there is a whole different level of stress put on me in the moving process.
A flatmate (no, not a friend) found my twitter in which at one stage I had been tweeting rather directly about things he did that annoyed me. So far it has been roughly 7 weeks since he found it and has been planning to confront me. Can’t wait, because I want to surprise him with a different reaction than he might be expecting. One where I don’t back down during confrontation and end up reaching a compromise when one wasn’t necessary or warranted. I want to not lash out or say too much, and instead acknowledge what has happened but in doing so not giving away any of myself to that person. I dislike there is a situation in which someone has a perceived upper hand on me and I wish they would just hurry up and talk to me about it, I even dropped that I hate people who don’t bring up issues and instead breed resentment so hopefully that gets through.
Such a small thing, but I really dislike the position I have asserted for myself in the flat. It is one in which I have ended up making flat discussions and being the only one who speaks in them. I completely understand that some people hate confrontation but I equally get frustrated sometimes because I come off somewhat tyrannical when really I speak for multiple people and only want a harmonious or at least civil environment. Mum spent so much time in the holidays trying to advise me on how to not give a fuck about problems that don’t concern me, but it is really difficult in a living environment surrounded by different personalities because at times it seems impossible to escape.
Feeling trapped and not at ease in your own ‘home’ ( I use this term here merely to describe my living situation) is honestly the worst and I can say without being dramatic that it has affected my mental health. I don’t take it lightly that my mum thought I was depressed in the holidays. She has thought it once before and both times I can see why. The first time was in high school when I boarded and would come home crying every weekend because I felt so cut off. The second was in the holidays when I was doing all that weird stuff, like the complete opposite of self-soothing behaviour. I also had planned to get so much done over the holidays and when I barely got any of those tasks completed I felt so hopeless. I also can’t ignore the fact that I was on the verge of tears the day that I had to come back down to Wellington. I nearly cried in public when I went to visit him at work before I left and I said I didn’t want to come back down and then he was like “aw me neither” and like even now I get sad about it.
I just feel a bit stuck in general at the moment, and like small things get to me now when they didn’t normally, and even the fact I didn’t submit some assignment the other day on time like actually made me feel like pure shit. So yeah just all in all not feeling tickity boo at the moment.
Some things I enjoy and am doing for myself at the moment:
Trying to eat a bit healthier- importantly, not being too strict on myself, and making sure I still enjoy what I’m eating but trying to slightly counteract my tendencies towards emotional eating. 
Walks! Aiming for about 4 a week at the moment but with definite room for increase! Just need to start exhausting myself so that my hyperactive brain can’t get the better of me. 
Self care! - filing my nails, moisturising, being gentle on my skin (my face is a bit rashy at the moment) about to re-do my nails as they look a bit busted atm.
Quiet time - trying to establish some points in the day when I can get away and be by myself for a bit.
Sleep meditation - Sleep with Me podcast is so great, this guy just literally babbles in monotone until I drift off, much better than the bullshit in my head that keeps me up!
Being with people whose company I enjoy - walking buddies, people to hang out with, chats that don’t revolve around the negative. MY SISTER!! we cannot stand to live with each other but I live for our weekly catch-ups, and coming clean to her recently was nice, good to get it off my chest. I felt bad because in the holidays, I was being quite negative towards her and admittedly it was a bit uncalled for, but the way I explained it was literally like I can’t even be kind to myself at the minute, what with my nail biting etc, I’m not sure I even have the ability to be kind to others right now.
And so for me, the way I am coping is distance, although with this growing glaringly obvious, I may have to aim for a slightly different version - indifference. Not letting little annoyances get to me and just brushing off the negative vibes so that I can function in a room with people, but not feeling the need to engage much further. It’s honestly past being something personal, and rather a coping strategy for myself only, and frankly that’s not anyone else’s business but my own. I welcome the chance to be challenged on this front and to justify my behaviour because finally I am deciding to do better for myself and not anyone else. 
fingers crossed, breathing deeply, I push on x
