I always speak about how I think negatively and all that, but I was thinking about how I always had to make plans and decide what to do when j and I hang out. So I told him I wanted him to decide for a change since I felt like I was making all the choices.
And he’s like “that’s because your decision is better.” I…just… Didn’t expect that answer!!!
I’m totally that kind of person who thinks her SO is actually the best, and he is.
To me at least. I’m just really happy.
I don’t know how someone could make me this happy but at the same time today make me feel so incredibly sad and depressed.
I almost wish I had never met him.
It’s incredibly fascinating what a long time of self discovery and self care does.
I wrote this above post going through depression after my breakup - I was fucking sad ok. Like the kind of sadness that almost paralyzed you to the point where you wonder if you will ever feel better. You wonder if you could possibly find someone else let alone find yourself. I was filled with doubt and self hatred, I couldn’t get out of bed on some days. It was very difficult for me to share my struggle with people because I felt my humorous and kind personality was completely the opposite of someone who’s depressed. I was almost certain no one would believe I suffered.
But looking back, I’ve come a long way. While I’ve now met someone else and my ex and I are like great friends, it never surprises me how much the human body can endure. And how grateful I am for those experiences. That being said I never want to feel like that again.
It is so weird to read these back and realize the mental states I was in. I was really wasn't strong back then, I still don't think I am strong today but reading these back I can feel how much pain I was going through.
I think about how 2024 was such a crazy year for me as well. It's also been a full year since I was laid off from my design job. Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to share that I quit my science gig to pursue design. Yeah, I did it, I took the risk. After I got laid off I got into JP Morgan for design and wow oh wow was that a flaming pile of garbage and so I left on my own volition. I thought I'd never get a design job again so I took up freelancing and I helped launch two products. Now I am employed as a lead designer and that's this year's post. Let's see what kind of shit I get into next year.
oh I have a corgi now, too.
