Wow - 6 years!

It's been 6 years, almost to the day since I journaled here. I'm in a new relationship (of 15 months) and doing well. For a bit of catch up, I returned to school and received my degree in sociology and criminal justice a couple of years ago. I've had the chance to work on a campus rape prevention project and with some amazing folks. There are still days that seem too hard, getting the kids out on their own and hopefully, on a healthier path, but I've grown so much and I'm pretty happy within myself. That's pretty huge! I am wanting to do some research on social media responses of those in abusive relationships (if they put on a happy front, avoid it as much as possible, are/feel monitored, and such). If anyone would be interested in such a thing, you can message for more details. The preliminary research is just around 10 questions to establish whether it's something worth digging into further. 

I hope friends from years back are finding their way on this journey and wish you all the strength you may need for today. <3
