A lot of things are falling into place, coming together to make the future that I want. A lot of things are starting to go right. That in itself is kind of intimidating in a different way than a problematic or stressful future is intimidating ( Read more... )

I will learn to trust others. I will stop pushing loved ones away. I accept that I am not a bad person and that I am worth loving. I believe I am attractive and healthy. I am not a burden on others; I am helpful and important to the world. My opinions count and no one will hate me for having them. I have faith in my friends and loved ones. ( Read more... )

Well, yesterday evening was not as blah as the start of the day. Dustin came over and brought Guitar Hero and bought Guitar Hero II and a second guitar. We spent the evening unlocking all the songs. He left it all here for me to play for awhile too, which is nice. I'm supposed to practice up so I get better than him. Then we made some food and ( Read more... )
