have been so happy lately. I love my job. 

I love my "circle", my "people". I am blessed to have met some really great people in my community. We genuinely care about each other. I am in a loving, kind, safe relationship with someone who "gets me".

I see a counselor who is there to help me handle my anxiety and stress. She is amazing. I have seen quite a few counselors over the years, but I really feel like this has been the best fit since high school - Shout out to "Dr. G.!"

Sarah has helped me to stay focused and learn how to let go of toxic friendships and relationships...even if that means cutting people off completely. 

I am a "Swifty", but I need to disagree with her on the "hi, it's me, I'm the problem..." It wasn't me. (Sorry Taylor) Sometimes people try to break you into pieces, make you think you're crazy, get angry with you over things beyond your control. It's too much and I choose not to deal with anyone who makes me feel like that anymore. 

I have stopped attending every single "alumni event" because sometimes there is drama - if I am not there, then there's no drama that I am "aware" of and I like it that way. I mean, really, who needs drama, especially living in a world full of nonsense.
