End Of 2024 Update

I haven’t really been on here for a long while, but here’s what happened:

-Dropped the religious friends because they were in a cult, I’m doing online church with other churches instead

-PUBLISHED MY SHORT STORY WHOOO

- started laser hair removal treatment so I won’t have to shave

-had an interview for a position at one of the schools but didn’t get the job

-I’m slowly growing my bank account

-I’ve made a new work friend

-started relearning to drive with my dad’s friend

-I wanted to go to a certain college football game because it was against a specific school but tickets were too expensive, and it turned out my dad’s cousin had tickets that he wasn’t going to use that also came with VIP access to food before the game so I did end up going (manifesting win!)

-I am the Philanthropy Advisor to my sorority but I haven’t really had any instruction so I haven’t done anything yet. I reached out to the contact to figure out what I’m supposed to do, as I wasn’t told anything about what I’m supposed to do, and was told she’ll get back to me after the holidays. I hope that I’ll actually get things figured out and I can get on top of the duties because I haven’t been doing anything for it and I’m bored out of my mind

-One of my celebrity crushes I’ve met before is in my city and my friends friend has met him twice. I really want to meet him too but haven’t had the chance to get up to the places he’d be

So yeah, there’s an update on my life. I’ve been kind of feeling negative and hopeless and angry, and have been trying to get into doing things for myself but it’s hard. It’s hard to feel like I’m deserving of the things I want when I try so hard and just can’t get them. I’ve also been experiencing jealousy over seeing other people’s lives be so much better than mine. I stopped therapy because my therapist isn’t understanding of my sexuality or gender identity and I don’t want to be a client for someone I can’t be myself around. I haven’t gotten to finding a new one yet.

I’ve been trying to force myself to get the hell off my phone, and do productive things, but it’s been difficult. I try. I have good days and then I fall back into the old habits. But I’m going to try. I’m going to try to be my ideal self and remind myself I deserve what I want and I can get it. I try to get things done right away (laundry, chores) and stuff and not wait around. I’m still working on forming good habits.

focus on the likes and not the wants

you may not want to clean your room, but you like the peace and call it brings you after

you may not want to study, but you like the confidence and satisfaction you get from being prepared

you may not not want to apologise, but you like the relief and connection that reconciliation brings

you may not want to cook, but you like the satisfaction of eating a healthy come cooked meal prepared with love

you may not want to exercise, but you like how you feel afterwards and how it makes you confident

you may not want to journal or write, but you like the reflection and calm it brings you

you may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but you like the new experiences and growth you gain from it

Second Week of February

Monday February 10th

Work at junior high again

Had a vegan yogurt for a snack

Frozen chili mac meal for lunch and fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese for dinner, ice cream for dessert

Pilates class (1 hour)

Took a brief nap

Tuesday February 11th

Work at junior high

Listened to an anime opening, country song, and worship song on the way to work

Workout

Chores (Laundry)

Had frozen cauliflower macaroni and cheese meal for lunch and baked chicken, roasted carrots and brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes for dinner

Watched Christian podcast on singleness

Watched Jersey Shore

Another productive day where I barely had time to feel any sort of negative emotions

Wednesday February 12th

Work at junior high

Leftovers for lunch and pizza for dinner

Listened to Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line, Energy by Tyla Jane (the song that was trending on TikTok a while back), and Jordan Pruitt

Honestly I didn’t do much besides have a brief zoom meeting with the student I’m advising for my sorority volunteer position- I was so nervous to meet her but she was really nice

I felt exhausted after the meeting and took a nap, had dessert, and basically just went to bed

Tried to drink more water

Thursday February 13th

Work at junior high

Had frozen ravioli meal for lunch and Bagel Bites for dinner

I lost my credit card while out with my mom and I had to cancel it and order a new one

I got Starbucks while out but that was too much caffeine for me so I felt jittery and anxious

Honestly I made a mistake (multiple actually) today and realized I need to work harder to get myself to how I want to be, although I understand it’s okay to “fall off the wagon”

Friday February 14th

No work because school was canceled due to a snowstorm, and honestly wasted most of the day

Workout

Had a turkey and cheese sub and some cheez its for lunch

Drank a green juice

I helped make dinner (Salisbury steak over mashed potatoes) and cleaned the kitchen afterwards by myself

Did some laundry but didn’t fold it

Honestly today felt really off, maybe because I had actually really wanted to go to work, maybe because winter break started a day early, maybe because it’s Valentine’s Day and I’m still working on not getting the “ick” from thinking about people in relationships

Read more Edgar Allan Poe

The day went by pretty slow yet somehow also fast, I don’t know how to explain it

Saturday February 15th

Drank some more green juice

Did laundry

Got distracted by TikTok and Character AI

Made homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner, had another sub for lunch

tea bags saved from every tea you’ve tried recently - maybe with a review also!

Little things that improved my life 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Accepting my sleep schedule. I'm a night owl; I focus at night, I'm calm at night, I'm motivated at night. For a long time, I tried to fight this since everyone always preaches getting up early, but since I started accepting my natural sleep schedule, I've been feeling a lot better and have become way more productive.

"drink more water". TEA. Tea is the secret here. I will be honest, I hate drinking water; it doesn't matter if I have a cute water bottle or a cute glass, I still hate it. TEA.

Replying quickly. I used to be one of those people who get a text message and think, "Oh, I'll reply to that later", and then just forget about it entirely. Now, I text back as soon as I see the message. This has not only improved my texting anxiety (which I cause on my own by now replying and then feeling bad) but also deepened my connection to my friends. <3

Keeping my circle small and being okay with that. Over the past months, I've had this sudden urge to expand my social circle and get to know more and more people, especially after I moved in August. However, this quickly ended in what I like to call my "social burnout". I was tired, annoyed, and overwhelmed. It took a few weeks for it to settle, but I've come to the conclusion that I would much rather have a smaller circle of people who I trust and love deeply than a huge group of friends, and that's totally okay.

Wearing what I like. Even though I live in a big city, I'd still say that my style can sometimes be a bit more extravagant than what most people wear, another point is that I'm very uncomfortable with pants so I only wear skirts, which is also considered a bit odd where I live. But over the past years, I've come to accept that and have become so sure of myself and found such comfort in my style that I now just wear whatever I like, and it makes every day a little bit nicer.

Reading and writing for pleasure. Reading books outside of my studies and spending time researching topics that simply interest me is such a great way to calm your mind. Same for writing, I always like to say that to write is to think; putting your thoughts on paper in cohesive and well-crafted sentences that you can then reread and think over again is such a liberating thing to do.

Reaching out more. fuck the whole "double texting" and "no contact" thing. If you want to speak to someone because they mean something to you, then just do it. Unless they specifically asked for space, you shouldn't feel bad about wanting to be in touch with them. Many even really appreciate it when you show that you truly care. Let's stop the nonchalant act, and instead, let's face deep emotions and true vulnerability. <3

As always, please feel free to share your own little insights and things that helped you improve comments! <3
