I know this is the bare minimum, but my boyfriend and I were able to pay rent this month with no outside help. Last month was really rough, but I focused on my freelancing and some the money to fill in the gaps of my boyfriends pay check!

I've also gotten the apartment clean, and have been doing yoga everyday since winter break started. I know I won't lose weight doing it, but my body feels alive again and I don't wake up beyond depressed (just a liiitle depressed). I know next semester will be rough (third year in college) but I think I've got my head on straight and I'll be back to making straight A's.

:D

I’ve been so miserable for over 5 years and carefully planning an escape and next steps for myself, the opportunity to begin finally came yesterday. I’m going to be working at my best friend’s small business while I build my own. I’ve never been more excited to be broke as a joke.

I’ll be 27 in early January and I just received two cookbooks for Christmas to learn how to cook more and cook reciepes that look good! So far I only know how to cook two things and am on the path to learn more!

I can FINALLY say I have finished the entire 'Dark Tower' series by Stephen King. Here as such Google says: "The Dark Tower series by Stephen King has a total of 4,250–4,720 pages across its eight novels"

I can tell you that after reading these....I am IN LOVE with Stephen King. His emotions etched into this series match mine. A perfect ending that brought tears. Every twist and turn of the adventure with perfect timing, never leaving me bored. Creative complex concepts from a pseudo-time-period. A sprinkle of horror, but only to decipher the struggles we face in our lives and how we move past them. Beautiful characters throughout, with hearts of lions. And all in all, love.

I am progressing very slowly but surely. I don’t even pay much attention to what I eat anymore, I just try not to overeat (though it still happens sometimes), include some vegetables, and stay active. I’ve never reached 58 kilos before! I might get some new workout gear to celebrate I was feeling a bit guilty about wanting new leggings. I also quit smoking, so it feels like everything is finally starting to fall into place.

I'm not really someone who is often proud of myself, I find it really daunting to do things other people find super easy and i've never really had a 'thing' unlike most people. The other day I was really really board so I decided to make a youtube channel about one of my favourite topics, and I uploaded a couple of videos. The channel has been up for four days now and i'm really happy with the results so far.

This year's been kind of rough for me, And seeing this makes me feel as if people see me - which is really helpful to me and my mental health right now.

After putting it off for 10 years I finally GOT MY DRIVERS LICENSE!!!!

I technically am only on the second level of the 3 level system, but i'm so proud of myself! I've always been super anxious about driving, but after months of taking lessons with an instructor, I PASSED ON THE FIRST TRY!!!!

Ive passed the first test before, but today was my first time doing the road test and I DID IT!!!!
