I got a job! It’s in retail, which I’ve never done before so it’s a learning experience, but I’ll catch on. Everyone’s really nice and the shop is cute. I just have to work on having and managing a real schedule, because it’s getting pretty hectic between work, school, and therapy.

I don’t think I’m going to transfer to a different school anymore because I haven’t come across another school that has a similar communications program. I really do hate it here but I don’t know what else to do, I’m stuck. Therapy is helping. I never thought having my feelings validated could be so important and life-changing. I’m still depressed, that just a part of me, but I do feel—I don’t know—higher? Just less down, like I have something to look forward to. I still struggle with getting up in the morning but when I finally get up it’s not so bad. It’s as if I’ve got a little brightness setting that’s been turned up, not all the way but just enough to see a glimpse of all the great things I have going for me right now. I still get that feeling of floating through the day sometimes, but this new feeling is like flying, not high, but just above ground, and that’s progress. ♦
