Still Learning

Lost but searching. Known for loving cats, travel, and food. Still learning how to love myself

Today I shut my cat in the fridge.

Okay, so here’s the deal.  Tali loves the fridge.  I don’t know why, but every single time we open it, she bolts for it and jumps in.  She crawls into the back of the fridge and nestles int the smallest little corner she can.  Now naturally, my biggest fear has been that I’ll close the fridge without knowing she’s in there.  And of course, today I went to go grab my Brita filter to pour myself some water.  I wasn’t really watching the fridge, and I just opened and closed it really quickly to put the Brita back while I was looking somewhere else.  And then I looked around and realized that Tali had been in the kitchen, and now she was nowhere in sight.  So immediately, I throw open the fridge door, and there is is, hanging out in the back, content as can be.

Fridge cat just got weirder.  Today Tali got into the bathroom while I was showering, which of course made me a little nervous.  I didn’t want her to freak out and hurt herself or go on a scratching spree.  But evidently she loves water, so she jumped in and just splashed around for a while and got back out.  But then she kept whining to get back in, so my boyfriend put a cooler down so she could get in and out with ease, which she took great advantage of.  She’s soaking wet now, and very content.

I told Tali she was famous.  She and her stuffed husky celebrated.

Get the old version of you out your head. You are no longer your old self. You are who you want to be.

how do you tell someone "I'm not ignoring you, I'm just disconnected from reality rn and the days are all blurred together and I feel completely apathetic towards everyone/everything around me so it's really hard for me to maintain a conversation" without saying that?

“Don’t give them a taste of their own medicine. They already know what it tastes like. Give them a taste of your own medicine. If they lied, let your medicine be honesty. If they played with your emotions, let your medicine be maturity. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if it means removing yourself from lives that you want to be in. You are, no doubt, worthy of being valued for who you are. So be who you are.”

“You couldn’t have changed him. Your love is powerful but you cannot change a man who doesn’t want to be changed. There was nothing you could’ve done so don’t blame yourself, you done enough. You done the right thing by walking away because you cannot spend your life chasing a man who doesn’t want to be caught.”

— sometimes you have to walk away because you know he’ll break your heart if you stay.

So much has happened in 2020 and it figures that my five year relationship would end in the final month. It took me a long time to come to my final decision to walk away from him, but i had to.

I just had to.
