So a whole lot of weird stuff has happened over the last few weeks. Can't really get into it, but I'm moving back north a bit sooner than planned! As in, on Friday! Hopefully I'll be getting back to jollygoodsnack on the regular soon 🌚

Day 5+6

So yesterday was a really low day for me. I'm approaching my moon cycle, I'm terribly homesick, and the day before was full of little annoyances that really tripped me up. I listened to my body after 10 days straight of activity (holy shit! Never thought I'd get to say that!) and slept in, cried, drew a little, watched anime, watched a movie and had dinner with grandma and cried more. I tried to get to bed early but I'm still getting used to sleeping alone; it's not fun. But my sweetness and I talk on FaceTime before bed so it is really nice getting that at least. So, well rested and feeling better, I combined my cardio-only day for today with my arms/back and cardio workout from yesterday. I did running, strength, stationary bike, and it was super awesome in the end, despite my tummy being grumpy during my run. Aaaaand my headphones finally arrived and not a soul could bother me 💪💪💪 Tomorrow: chest and shoulders oh boy

Tomorrow is the first leg of a 30+ hour drive to Florida where I'll be making my home for at least the next 6 months. We're stopping in Louisville on the way to visit friends and my aunt. I've become less and less ready for this transition. I hate that I have to leave the people I love behind for the better part of a year just so I can have the chance to make some money. I'm trying not to be miserable but I'm just too sad about going. I know Florida will be an adventure for me, and I know it's best that I go at it mostly on my own, but I already feel the consequences of distance and hectic schedules wearing down on me and my relationships just in the time I've been living in MA this summer. I feel very alone and disconnected now. I fear these feelings will only become stronger in Florida and perhaps cripple me as they have in the past. I have to try to stay positive or the whole thing will have been for nothing. In Florida I'm going to work hard, take care of myself and hopefully make tons of money so I can move back as soon as possible. Wish me luck

Heads up folks!

This blog started off as just a mess of stuff I wanted to remember but I've decided to actually organize and make posts on my own progress. Keep an eye out for some changes in the coming weeks!

uuuuuugh thesis/school is kicking my butt. haven't been focusing much on wellness lately and it makes my heart and head and body feel gross. there's only so much i can do right now, i have to focus on school and get it done, so im trying not to feel too guilty about eating less than great and not running. i really want to change my thesis idea, but i think it's too late in the game. i could probably do it and manage to make good work because i'll actually care about it, but i've said the same thing about other long term projects too and still found myself loosing steam after a short while. I want to prove to myself that i can do this, i just don't know if i really have the heart and drive to make my vision happen where I'll be happy with it in the end. i'm just not a long term project kind of person i guess. just gotta get it done
