I woke up today without the 50 pound weight on my heart. Positive, hopeful, energized. The mess is still there, still battling with making my current life work but something is different for today. I’m going to enjoy it and be productive before the paralyzing self-doubt and weighty decisions come back.
Super psyched to have a new-to-me dresser, mine literally falling apart last week. Those little surprises are nice, especially ones that aren’t even on my goal list like the couch that will soon bite the dust. My family insists I throw it away, but I can’t – I’d still love to reupholster it some day. It’s been around since our first house, I can’t part with it totally. I didn’t have a security blanket, but maybe this is mine.

I know, good times good times! B says we should recreate our current living room in the garage lol I love him.
As soon as she heard about me getting a newer couch, my mom offered me her furniture that I love for like the millionth time. Supposedly she’s serious this time but will likely change her mind as soon as I turn the other one down. *hair ripped out into a pile*
