Hey guys :) Only TEN days now until the TLC conference (And nine days until I leave for Dallas)!!! I am so super excited and can’t wait 😄 This will be my second conference! If anyone here on tumblr is also going to the conference, please message me!!

And on that note… Last year we drove, but this year my mom and I will be flying. The last time I flew in a plane was eight years ago, and I loved it, but that was before I had all of the anxiety I have now. Especially since my OCD and anxiety have already been out of control lately… The wait went by fast and it’s starting to hit me now how close the conference is and I’m finally starting to feel it! (It’s been hard to get excited for it because my OCD issues have literally been debilitating and so consuming)… Oddly enough, now that’s it’s starting to sink in how close it is, I actually have not really been that worried about the flight ?? For a while I was thinking about anything that could possibly go wrong, but I surprisingly am not so anxious about it now, so I guess that’s good at least… And normally I always irrationally obsess about like rules and regulations and I always look up everything I possibly need to know about something for preventative measures (it’s part of my OCD), but I haven’t been doing that either. I think that’s a good sign, but it’s actually a little strange for me! So I’ll just have to see how I am next week, but I’m sure I’ll be just fine.

Again, if anyone who sees this is going to the conference, please message me! I’d love to meet you :)
