Holy Smokes
I decided to have a peek at my livejournal out of curiosity, and it was kind of chilling to read. My headspace years ago was not... good. I can't blame myself, though. I was under so much stress and I can see why I had a breakdown.
I was legitimately tormented. And I'm pretty sure some of it was instigated by the ex-bestfriend I spoke about often, Sasha. I have no definitive proof but it adds up in such a way that I'm pretty certain of it.
So- updates! The world went through a deadly pandemic- still is, but there's a vaccine now. Russia is at war with Ukraine. Iran is slaughtering it's women and protestors in the thousands. The US has taken away the right to abortions in some states (even lifesaving ones). A young girl of only 15 managed to kill her violent rapist and now she's being prosecuted for first degree murder- I hope they never catch her. LGBT+ individuals are still being shot in their spaces. School shootings are at an all time high.
I've moved out of Florida. Leaving the state behind has helped tremendously with my mental health. I am properly medicated and currently in therapy. I have a job I can work from home, in the medical field. I have a dog named Shadow.
I am engaged.
I am much happier and healthier than I was in 2018. I would even say that I am thriving!
