The past few weeks have been great. I just feel like I’m in a really good place. Taking some time away from the not so awesome things in my life and making time for myself has been incredibly helpful. My head is clear. I haven’t been constantly worrying about everything, picking everything apart and wondering what will happen next.

I’m ready for change. I’m ready to move forward. I’m not going to wait around for anything anymore.

Even when it comes to little, stupid things. Like being the first one to send that IM or text. Or clothing. I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve worn a dress. The past few weeks? I’ve bought three. Or doing my hair before I go to the library because maybe, just maybe, the hot tattooed guy will be working. It’s these little things that no one probably thinks anything of but that make me smile just thinking about.

I’m grateful. I have good people in my life. Friends who will listen. Just be silly with me. Those who will help me plot my next moves and take the next steps to accomplish what I want. I’m getting to know people better. Meeting new friends. The ones who will drink and video chat with me since we can’t be in the same place doing it. People who just get it. That care what I’m up to. Who want to be around. And show it.

My life is far from sunshine and roses. I’m not perfect and I probably never will be.

But for now, I’m just happy. And I’m ready.

For anything.

This post is awesome and totally made me smile! I have been feeling very content lately also

Good for you lady! That’s what we like to hear!

I’m so happy for you. I totally understand what you mean about dressing up for the library. Lately I’ve let my appearance go downhill fast since I’m having no social life and it makes me feel so yucky. Feeling pretty is the best thing you can do for your mental health.

I heart all of this.

We should totes get on all that double-party planning

Let’s chat again soon, mmkay?

Sounds like a good place to be, I’m so happy to hear it.

Yay! High five for hot tattooed librarians!

Taking the time to figure out what those little things are that make you feel so content is the hardest part, as far as I’m concerned.

Hooray for taking the next step!

So glad to hear this! Yay for you!

This is awesome. It’s a great feeling when you just feel GOOD about yourself.

YAY!

I can’t wait to come home and play and be silly with you

Perfection does not equate to happiness.

I’m glad things are good! You deserve it.

I’m having a bad day, and your happy and hopeful post just gave me a smile and a good feeling inside. Hooray for you!!!

Being content is such a wonderful feeling.

Contentment is always a good place to be. A great jumping point to happy, then blissful.

This post is radiant, Jamie, and it makes me SO happy for you! I’m ready to be in that place, too.

I’m super happy for you. And it’s insane (and ironic and unfair) that the best people you meet that just ‘get it’ live so far away from you. *sigh*
