Remember that boyfriend I mentioned in my last entry? That’s my Fiancé now. 2022 had brought some crazy things in, but overall was not bad.
I’ll be turning 21 in a couple months! Last year my birthday was truly uneventful. We didn’t really celebrate at all, but I’m okay with that. I don’t need a big celebration or party. I had my friends and family around, and even if we didn’t do anything at all, it’s all I needed. I was slightly disappointed, but not enough to ruin a day or prevent me from enjoying it myself.
I started working on myself a LOT in 2022, and I still am today. I’m currently sick with a cold but paying myself some extra self care. I’ve been connecting with my spirituality. My gender. Myself in general. I’m learning to love myself, and be more patient with myself. I’m working harder on learning to communicate all around, be it in my relationship or at my job.
Speaking of my job, I still have the same one mentioned in my last entry. It’s been stressful, it’s been hard, some days I nearly quit, and it’s had its frustrations. That being said, I’m glad I’ve stuck with it so long. It’s been rewarding, helped me grow, and let me develop a lot of skills in my life. I love my regulars, I enjoy the work I do. My boss is usually super nice, but in all honesty they’re not always the most pleasant. When they get stressed, it tends to become my problem, in which I’m learning to stand up for myself more. I can’t complain too much though, in general they’re very respectful and patient. I appreciate the patience most though, since everything I do, its my first time doing it. I’ve never had a job in this category ever, especially seeing as I’m young and have only had 3 other jobs (all very short term).
We took in a total of three cats. The first two we adopted not long after my last entry. They’re siblings, and definitely act like it. The third one we rescued a few months later. He had been abandoned in one of the neighboring apartments without food or water for nearly a month. For several days before we got involved and took him in, we heard him crying so loudly from inside. Eventually we got the police and our landlord involved and took him in. When the police first entered the apartment, all the cat wanted was attention. Doesn’t matter that we had stuck a bowl of fresh food and water right in front of him, all he wanted was to be loved. He had a nick in his ear, and scars all around. We believe he was a street cat before the neighbors abandoned him.
The apartment we found him in was in horrible condition. Rotten food, bugs, and mold everywhere. It had been turned upside down. The litter box was beyond full, and most clothes he had peed on. There was a lovely layer of grime on every surface, some drugs, and most of the old tenants belongings. We believe the cat survived so easily from eating the rotten food and drinking water from their toilet, which was now very dry and had no water at all inside.
Today, he is still the most cuddly cat I’ve possibly ever had. He’s so sweet and well-mannered (for a cat, that is). He generally gets along with the other two cats, but they have their spats sometimes.
Otherwise, life has been relatively good. I’ve had my good share of ups and downs, but in the end, my support system keeps me afloat. I could keep rambling about everything that’s happened, but I feel I’ve already written more than I ever had on here, and definitely don’t want to keep droning on. Thank you for reading if you did, and here is my usual disclaimer:
Thank you yet again for reading, if you’ve made it this far. I know it’s fairly boring, nothing too special, but I appreciate it nonetheless. I use this site more to vent than anything. It’s very therapeutic to anonymously talk about life.
