Sometimes I catch myself from slipping into the cracks of depression that could possibly sent me to the hospital, I'm glad I am getting better about that.

Now I am happy I can move on and start a new job.

Today is my second day of work and I'm happy to say that I really appreciate working in the back away from customers. It's hard not freezing up in public or worrying about about being the center of attention when your trying to lay low.

I am really glad that I moved away from that awful small town and the few abusive and bullying people away from there.

The only thing I really want to focus on are paying off my debts, building a lifestyle to take care of my family and close friends, and living my best years to help fight others.

My current soulmate, even though we are still best friend, I'm glad he is still makes me feel...just anything :3.

My next goal is to get my body in shape by toning up and losing 20 pounds. I started buying new smaller clothes and donated a lot of my older baggy clothes. I figured for ever pound I lost I reward myself with a few new outfits. Manged to buy name brands clothes ( 4 dresses, 5 skirts, 2 shoes, 12 top, 2 jackets, and 7 bottoms) for under 80 bucks. #QueenofThriftStores

Hi IMA,

It sounds like you have some really positive things going on right now. It's great to read about them. I'm also working on losing weight (I definitely have more than 20 lbs to lose, but I'm a little over halfway there). Being able to buy smaller clothes is definitely a great reward. I also really love thrift stores! :)

I hope things keep looking up for you.

IMA,
I'm so happy to hear you're in a job that is more comfortable and a relationship that feels good.
Getting weight off is hard, but I've done it. I had to exercise like every day and still do to keep it off.
I have zero will power in my food choices. :lol:

Here's to a good week coming up.

It occurred to me that when I have had share my rape stories...one of the first things that people say is that they believe me.

It bothers me that people say that because I don't need their validation of whether I was or wasn't. Like with the policemen and therapists I talk to in the past, all that matters is my story being said and proving by law that this happened to me.... sometimes I wonder why people are fueled by their beliefs verse going by facts.

No one should ever wish death upon themselves.
I'm glad it's not one of those nights for me :)
Took a shower, wearing my favorite pjs, got my favorite snack, and with my my current soulmate who showing me funny memes, and the best part I found pins for my purple Christmas lights. My safe place will be completed tomorrow.

Life is worth living, create a safety plan/environment, and feel what you have to feel in a nonviolent way.
