GRATITUDE LIST

-being given more money
-doing a yoga class today and watching kickboxing and zumba,it was like diving into best friend's world
-trying a pizza place and finding when i went by myself that they had a vegan pizza option which i got
-the delicious peanut butter cookie i got today at the pizza place
-brunch plan tomorrow.i feel almost guilty for doing something fun with all that's going on but at the same time feel like i need it,and it will benefit me.
-emails from S and S making me laugh when he asked me if i want him to help me forget about my pain for a few hours. i played dumb and he dropped it and we changed the subject but it made me laugh which i needed
-the warm weather today
-the beautiful colors of the sky at night
-resting for a bit on couch at best friend's parents house before yoga class.
-my style
-therapy going better then i thought it would
-latte this morning
-getting my clothes washed
-seeing in life i am better then i think i am,and will be ok
-seeing that neighborhood i'll be living in come may maybe isn't so bad to walk around to get to things,and seeing young girls walking around
-my beauty
-finding my jewelry and seeing jewelry i didn't even remember having
-coming home and seeing everything in tact.
-getting a bunch of files deleted off the phone and getting uber back on
-best friend's mom saying she isn't crazy about R either. though she could be lying,but still is nice to hear

i cannot believe it's been 3 weeks since i heard from him,over 3 weeks. time really is an illusion. sometimes,it feels like parts of time are "missing" even. it's weird as in where was i really for all of that hour.
-shadowing for best friend's mom to be a volunteer at a gym she works at. it felt good. on one hand,i feel like i'm getting a lot done the last weeks,but then on the other,it feels far from enough,too. and,one thing i've realized is that i've traded one fear for another,as in,i now start to have fears oh,well what if they die,and so really my core fear is just being able to take care of myself. that's all i need to eliminate. and,i thought the key to eliminating that was to become 100% independent,which i now disagree with.i think,also i discounted myself in some ways.though,i am stunted in some ways,there's a lot of things i have done,and have grown with,and i have some things that are more wise then the "average" person. it's not like the last years were a total waste.and,so where i'm currently at,is i do want to catch up on the areas i am stunted with,that's what I TRULY wanted all along. I want to trust myself,and trust life again.
-doing a yoga class again tonight.it was nice. i'm getting really sore from all the classes i've been taking
-great weather today
-seeing a friend i haven't seen in over 2 years today for brunch
-getting our brunch comped and only needing to pay for my latte
-how good the latte was with coconut milk. i may have tried a coconut milk latte before,(i don't remember).
-inspiration and hearing how my friend has had setbacks,too even similar to mine such as having to go live with her father and share a room with her son at a point in her life
-that everyone seems to think the separation from best friend will be a good thing because it'll help me grow and become more independent and give me freedom
-feeling like a reset button's been pressed since he broke the news and like things are opening up
-getting an invite online on a social media randomly from e's friend to a party. very strange
-my phone
-staying strong
-getting some clarity on something i thought was more of a lie possibly,which was nice
-my meds i've been taking.i think they may actually be helping

-getting a call and email from a promo job today.i wanted to stop with those however,i think right now it'd good be for me just to get a paycheck again just to see myself get a paycheck again and get in the habit of it,even if it is starting kind of small,and going back to where i was dissatisfied.i figure if right now i am earning $0 then earning anything will be an improvement and THEN from there I can start making goals and trying to "feel it real" with doubling that,then doubling it again,so on and on. best friend's dad keeps urging "normal" jobs that have benefits because he sees them as more secure,but most people i know have their own businesses and even friend i met for brunch has started a business and was talking about a friend who started a business for resume editing and well even technically,i've started my own business however it's just not making money right now,so starting businesses is something very much in my circle,it's something more familiar to me. normal jobs frighten me and intimidate me and i doubt myself about getting them,yet starting my own business does not,but there's a mental hump with that. at this point,it seems i'm going to end up becoming a very,very busy person with all the various interests i have and things i do. even my therapist said i have a lot of interests.i must seem crazy! the key is just overcoming this anxiety/mental humps,and from there things would go so well.

-a night walk with best friend's mom home from the gym. and how funny it was since it right after i said to best friend's dad that i wish i had a walking buddy to go for walks with,and then when we get to gym she says she walked there,and we agree we will walk home.

-getting the volunteer front desk position. so exciting. and that it'll be a nice easy way to get in the door with a normal job also because i get to start off just shadowing others there. the manager seeming to have a nicer vibe today and seeming more uplifted and possibilities for advancement with this position and all i can learn from it and go further with it. he even said maybe sometime down the line i can tell him i want to teach a stretching for kids class as an example
