My winter break has been nothing but hectic. It feels like nothing will get better at the moment, but I hope I’m wrong. The only thing that has succeeded in keeping my mind off my uncomfortable predicament is Chewing Gum. It’s been on Netflix for a while, but I never thought to watch it until last week! Describing it as funny would be an understatement. A TV show hasn’t made me laugh this much in years! It’s become one of my top-favorite shows of all time now, plus Michaela Coel makes me want to get my shit together. I’ve watched Season One twice already and put my sister on to it, too.

Going through this rough patch has given me more time to focus on myself and what I need. I really do like being by myself, and purging all the people who only want to hang out when I can offer them life advice or accompany them to a party has helped an awful lot. It’s as if this huge nagging weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It leaves me with fewer friends, but the ones I’m left with appreciate me for who I am. They don’t just see me as a dependable, good listener, but a whole dynamic human being they want to be around because they genuinely like me. ♦
