Things are looking up! I'm finding my happiness, and there's no turning back.
About a month ago, my most recent boyfriend attempted to take his own life. Obviously, it was a ploy to try to win me back, condidering all else had already failed, but when I took a deep breath and a step back I realized... I deserve to be happy. It's not my job to coddle anyone, waste my time and money taking care of an adult. I've lived my entire life trying to please everyone else, it's my turn to do what makes me happy.
So as I let his absurd plays fall to the back of my mind, my body felt relaxed, and my mind was at ease.
And then, I decided to take advantage of the opportunities life has been thrusting toward me, by accepting a bartending job.
Soon, I'll be able to save some money and by next year, I'll have more than enough to take my dream vacation.
I'm going to Brazil!
No more getting in my own way, no more using "love" as an excuse to stay in a rut. I'm free.
