August showers

This month has been a little challenging, but for the most part I made it through the month. My best friend came by it today and it was really nice just to see her. We had pizza and I gave her one of my paintings on getting really good at painting lately. It was really good to see her and just catch up because we only get to see each other once a month and everything. I actually met her here on DS 20 years ago. She's my best friend and she sticks up for me so I really am appreciative of her. She's the best And great for support. I signed my lease so I'm here at my   Place of for another year. I'm happy because it just means I'm making progress and learning to get over some of the stuff that happened this year I really can bounce back and for the most part I'm just focusing on myself which is good for now. I don't think if I focus on other people's lives and family members that is gonna be very good for me because I need to take care of myself before I can take out others which is something I've learned this year I'd have to say as far as dating or getting together with someone I'm going to give it a good couple more months I really think I work on myself and truly make an effort to use self-love as a tool for my healing and everything but I'm doing much better.

I agree we have to just focus on what we have the power to change, which is us. Focus on our own lives. Let things go that don't matter in the long run. You are doing a great job managing your life and coping with the ups and downs. I am amazed about meeting your BF on here 20 years ago. That is a great story! Stay strong, create some positive mantras and get back to loving your amazing and beautiful self.

Yes, I met her on here on this website and we’ve been friends ever since we both live close by each other and we visit she’s very positive outlet in my life. She’s just you know my best friend now and I really appreciate her and I met her through DS, which is the cool thing.
