I think what I have right now is good. Disregarding my IRL life for a second, what I have online is really important to me at the moment. The friends I have made on this site and everyone around me, supporting me and being nice to me means more than anything. I love interacting with my small group of friends and laughing at messages I was sent by them and them talking back to me, feeling comfortable to be themselves around me. I really am grateful for everyone I have right now, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

As for my real life, things are going slow. I’d love to change the fact that I’m a little bit lazy with how I’m moving forward with things, but I am calm about it. I enjoy the time I spend with my boyfriend and I’m happy to just live. I still experience all the symptoms of my mental illnesses from time to time, because who doesn’t? But it’s been easier to manage since I realised I wasn’t alone. I think life, as of this moment, is better than what it was last year and I am so happy with the change and differences about myself and the people who love me no matter what relationship we had in the past.
