I've started dating a wonderful guy. He makes me happy and feel listened. We laugh, and do puzzles and function well around each other other. He is good, he is really really good. I do t feel conflicted around him. I don't feel like I'm giving up part of myself to be with him. That feels like a time change because it feels that I've always self handicapped to be with previous partners. Traveling with dan and spending time with dan, doesn't feel like a sacrifice but a privilege.
Do you ever get the feeling that sometimes that jokes on you? It seems like I often don't understand. Femininity is a major one. I've noticed this because I do have some friends who wear a lot of makeup. I never learned to put on makeup and how to wear it well when I do wear it. Or nice, name brand cookwear. Does that pot hold water and won't leek harmful chemicals into my body? Great! Why do we need the cookware that is $200? I baffled at these things, and don't know why others value them.
Otherwise working hard to contribute and stay afloat in the current political climate. I've decided to not buy a house this year but will continue to donate money and create events at Pyramid Atlantic that will be benefits for organizations. In the beginning of the month, I was assaulted by a group of teenagers. I'm trying to remember this is first time I've been the victim in nine years since I've been a dogwalker. I'm fine, but I keep dogs with me at all times when I go outside and I've ordered some pepper spray.
I'll be out of the country next week and then going skiing for Dan's pre birthday. All this will be nice.
