3 Months of Change

Holy shit... have I really not written in 3 whole months? 3 months might not seem like a lot, but my life has changed immensely.

To make a long story short, I moved out of college, started my full-time job, moved to NEW YORK CITY (!!!), pretty much had a relationship (with Sam from Chicago), and am now fully living my adult life. I guess I can't blame myself for never writing, because I've been insanely busy. I'm so proud of how far I've come. I feel more independent than ever. 

Maya and Annabel are great roommates. I need to remember to call my other friends more... but honestly, between moving in, assembling all my furniture and multiple packages a day, cooking all my meals, and my dating life, there hasn't been much time to talk on the phone!

Oh yeah, and my new year's resolution to read 12 books in 12 months is going well :) time to sign off and start a new one for the month of August!

Getting things out and holding myself accountable

 does the fact that I haven't written in almost a year mean I must be down bad to be finally journaling now? It's the day after Yom Kippur. I haven't journaled on YK the past couple of years, maybe I was lazy or just didn't feel like it. I'm trying not to judge myself for these things. I didn't want to write yesterday and instead slept and went on my phone. I didn't anticipate wanting to write today but then I had a super vivid dream about a certain ex and it kind of fucked up my morning.  I'm living with Jason now, and I think I'm really happy about it. We have the most beautiful apartment, my dream apartment, and I rely on him in so many ways. He takes care of me. He supports me, he loves me unconditionally. He makes me feel unequivocally safe. I see a future with him, clear as day.  A few months ago, matt reached out unexpectedly and told me of girlfriend troubles and wanted to get lunch. This threw me into a crisis; a choice that I never thought ...

Bryant Park Winter Village

I can't say that I've had a bad day, only that I've had a particularly lonely and sad day. I don't think I like Josh anymore, I'm not attracted to him and never have been but I don't even want to fucking talk about that. I know you shouldn't make any brash decisions or ruminate on feelings when you're HALT (hungry, angry, lonely, or tired)... these days I'm edging towards the LT more and more frequently.  Today I went to the Bryant Park Winter Village. Where the fuck has the time gone? What happened to the girl that loved doing things alone? I walked through today surrounded by people and felt entirely and singularly alone. No cheap dopamine hit can help me at this point--not a song, podcast, weed, dating app--fucking nothing. At this point I'm so confused about how I feel all the time and regularly shift between feeling like I've freed myself from the men of my past to not feeling like I've moved forward even a singular inch.  Last year ...

A Hannah Horvath moment

I got the impulse to start writing again (I'm going to call it writing from now on, not journaling--to give it more credibility and myself more freedom for content) because of the HBO series Girls OKAY, I'm coming back to continue this blog post a few days later. I know it's been exceptionally long since I've written, and the thought just occurred to me (ocurred?) that maybe I've been reluctant to write because I didn't want to articulate the struggles I've been going through and immortalize them by actually acknowledging them.  ANd yeah, maybe I had to run out to a bodega 7 minutes away at 9:30pm on a 3-day weekend to buy coconut water for myself while I'm 10mg high on an edible. And some kind of cool rasta alt playlist that's surprisingly fun to journal to.  But maybe the thought of recapping the last (almost) year of my life just seems to big a task to surmount given everything that's gone down and everything I feel like I might need to dive i...
