I feel good

It's been over a month since I talked to M. And I've been patiently waiting for the days to get easier, because I know you can't heal from a breakup overnight. Not going to lie, things have been pretty rough for me. I won't go into it, as I don't want to sink myself into negative thoughts and spiral.

But today was actually a pretty good day. First off, I finished the book I was reading, The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt. That puts me at 5 books this year, and it's May (the 5th month), which means I'm on track for finishing my New Year's Resolution for one book a month in 2022.

I also video chatted with Sam from Chicago for a little bit, and I just love talking to him. It makes me really excited to see him in person and I think we have good chemistry, he's smart, funny, and ridiculously cute for a Jewish guy (and he's my type).

Then I went to the InterMiami game with my dad and brother. We got to sit in the VIP section and we won! 2-0 against the New York RedBulls who were the favorite. It was a great game and I was glad I got to spend some quality time with them. Then we got home, greeted my mom who had just gotten back from a weekend trip in Atlanta, and watched an episode of Ted Lasso.

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...
