i don’t come on here often if at all

but if anyone’s still around and wants to know, here’s my life as of late

after 6 goddamn years, i’m finally graduating university. life sent me a buncha curve balls, but i finally fucking made it. by June, I’ll be a registered and certified medical laboratory technologist. i’m hyped

i haven’t really been depressed at all for the last year or so, it feels almost weird. I think starting my clinical placement played a huge role in that, because i’m not stuck in a classroom all day, and i actually started doing something that i love, and felt like i was contributing something to this world. Especially on days when the clinical coordinator essentially let me run the department alone, that’s when I really thrived. 

my clinical placement was actually at the hospital my ex works at, which i had forgotten about until my first day and i saw him coming down the hall. I think this was a blessing in disguise because it finally showed me that I can move on from him, and eventually I did. For a long time, I didn’t think I would move on from him. But I found myself being genuinely happy for him, for his accomplishments, his new girlfriend, and all that jazz.

And I guess finally, I met someone. I feel like we’re compatible in...so many ways. I used to be so afraid and so anxious when it came to relationships, but he’s brought out something in me that just... gets rid of all that fear. it’s also really nice that i don’t need to explain my social anxiety, or that i get exhausted being around people. he gets it. I just see a lot of great things coming for us, and for once I’m excited for what the future holds. corny, I know.
