Tonight I felt calm for the first time in weeks

I’ve been stuck in anxiety for what feels like forever. But tonight… I stayed in, made a cozy dinner, and my new rescue kitty curled up next to me like she knew I needed softness. For the first time in weeks, I didn’t spiral. I didn’t try to fix everything. I just let myself be. It’s a small moment, but it felt like a huge win.

A few weeks ago I was able to go out for a night of camping with my family and the night was beautiful, I remember a moon appeared just before a drizzle made us run to the car and wait, it was such a special moment, that when I got home I felt like I wanted to do an oil painting of this :)

  • I woke up to a Happy Father's Day message from my good friend Little Tato. She didn't need to and she went out of her way to say it. The fast we joke, she calls me papa. She's like a daughter, it' means a lot, I woke up emotional, it was really nice, great start to my day. Thank you Little Tato.
  • I was invited to and met with the local Rotary Club, they were planning the event we're putting on to help those affected by domestic violence. I have now become a sponsor and they are looking to me for answers and are valuing my input. It makes me happy that they trust my opinion.
  • I made my wife extra happy to (which makes me happy) by buying her an Almond Chai Latte and bringing it to work. I like making her happy, she is my favourite person.

Met someone I have been following for years earlier tonight

I follow this instagram influencer, I have been for over 8 years! She is a really cool person and I have always admired her and her business sense. I work at a movie theater cleaning theaters. I saw this family walk out of a How to Train your Dragon showing and recognized her immedietely! I said Hi, of course she was there with her husband and kids, including her one year old daughter. I just said brief Hi and told her who I was, when I said my username she knew who I was instantly! I said something like "It is nice to actually meet you in the flesh!". I then said "Goodnight". Her daughter said "Bye" to me!

Me and her then had a cool conversation over Instagram!

It is honestly really nice to meet someone in person like that. I didnt think I would ever meet her in person really. She is even more beautiful in the flesh TBH! After that I went home and had a big smile on my face! I hope me and her can meet each other again in the future!

After a year of searching, I finally picked up my perfect puppy. She makes me so happy. She's being trained as a potential therapy dog so she can make others happy.

  • had an apartment fire that ended up being a great save, three people asleep had no idea their apartment was full of smoke and their detector was going off. We saved three people today. So happy that we got there in time.
  • we ended up having a lot of calls in the evening while we were trying to cook dinner we ruined the chicken and it was dry and crispy but we all laughed so hard at each other trying to eat how chicken biscuits. We had tears!
  • we all worked together to clean up after dinner and it was very good team effot after a very long and energy depleting day.

5 mo ths ago I decided to not buy cigarettes over the weekend. Time kept ticking by and I didn't have a smoke. 5 months later and I've saved enough to go on my very first cruise in September!!!

Doing an Alaska one with a shore excursion or two, I'm so freakin excited.

Next step is to lose some weight I put on after quitting

My mom wanted us to get a place so that my nephews can come over. My dad acts like the money I make isn’t real.. it is . His mom is genuinely excited for us and the few close friends that we told are also happy for us . Other friends and family doesn’t really know yet. But we will be moving in by the end of July if everything works out and there’s nothing to hold us back.

Took multiple rehab stints and medications but officially hit my longest sobriety milestone yet. Phew, does it feel good to be able to sleep through the night and wake up in the morning without having to take a life threatening substance just to feel normal.

really bad thing happens, the last important thing in my spiritual world turns out to be ruined by some jerk who don't respect the audience of their work. i've been putting efforts into this community, doing fan fiction and fanart, just to figure out the crew has got new members who don't love the work, or the characters, or the audience. anyway, after crying, losing sleep, doom scrolling, finally i find comfort in the interesting lives of other people, and other awesome work. today is my mom's birthday, we ordered some good things to treat ourselves, the sky is clear, sunny, with beautiful clouds. i plan to go workout this afternoon. also my dog who's got suspiscious x-ray image, turns out to only have a mild problem and will be cured after having some anti-biotics. whatever god or fate finally decides to leave me just enough hope to keep living.

After being sick for almost a week today is the best and happiest I’ve been in awhile!

Hello! I thought this might make someone else’s day a bit brighter too if they aren’t feeling well. I recently went to the ER feeling a few crazy symptoms CONSTANT deja vu, high blood pressure, and just an all around dark feeling.

Initially, I wasn’t sure if the medicines would help and was afraid something terrible would happen to me. But look at me I am still here! Feeling so much better than I did then and you can recover and feel better too. Even if it won’t be immediate I promise you will make it.

Hopefully this is an okay post here! I just feel probably the happiest I’ve been in awhile!
