i think blogging again will be really good and fun for me because there's just so much all the time, and I like this form of an outlet. a lot has changed in a short time and looking back it's hard to even comprehend cause it's like wow. that was really my life just a short while ago. I was in a very, very horrible relationship and felt like I was stuck and had to be responsible for a grown ass man and had to stay with him and suffer. that was a little over a year ago that I had to call the cops on him for actively destroying my apartment, among a bunch of other stupid things he decided to do that night (both of us were on the lease but he never paid a dime for anything, and I mean Anything!!!) and I drove to stay with a friend for the night, and then 3-4 hours to my home town (in a horrible snow storm, it was also my first time ever driving alone, and my phone was off too loll). so it was very very scary and it's crazy to think it happened!! but in the time since then, I got my own apartment, my first tattoo, started a new relationship (i really never thought I'd be with anyone ever again), and got engaged!! it's crazy to think about that, because my fiance now is so unlike anyone ever and I never thought a relationship could be this way. it's been like a fairy tale since meeting him again (we knew each other in high school but never knew we had crushes on each other back then loll) and it took a lot of learning and adjusting because this is the first healthy relationship I've ever been in. but I moved back to my home town last month with him, and he and his family are building a house for us (it's getting super close for us to move in!). when it gets warm, maybe around end of march-may, we're gonna get married and i'm very excited <33 it was hard to make a very long story short, but in the year I've been gone I've learned a lot about myself and I feel like I'm me again. I'll also be 22 on the 4th and that's so weird to think about! I'm so happy I remembered this blog and can't wait to start posting and sharing again <33
