Update on Me!

Hey y'all. I hope that week three into 2018 is going to be good. The first snowstorm of the year has happened and it was huge! At least in Bethlehem, it was a nice day. It was sad to see my boyfriend leave in the morning, but it is nice to see him come home every afternoon and just be us. Also, this is after I watched the new jump from the Lehigh Valley supposed to get getting a dusting to three inches, then jumping to four to six inches. I love the scenery in Bethlehem and it is nice to see it every day now.


As this is being posted after a week of work, it is a new chapter in my life. I am hoping to build a better life for myself and start to live my life. I have been through many things in my life and if you have read my post "Finding Happiness" then you would understand where I come from. My walls were built up and they stood for years. I grew up fast and having to be an adult when I was far too young was hard for me. I was dependent on having to take care of others and that was something hard for me to let go. From having to be there for my younger brother to trying to find a place to stay for a weekend away from my parents, my social life was difficult. I never had a lot of friends and it was hard to bring people home when you had my parents. It was hard to even open up to my boyfriend and it is still hard to discuss.
Since I have found love and my security blanket, my life has been full of happiness and fun. We go to many sporting games and movies and stay home and have a cozy night in. I haven't been this happy for a long time and it feels so good to smile and have someone to share that with. He cares about me more than I do and I love him so much for taking care of me.
My depression is getting better. I have been off of my depression medication for two years and that is amazing. Not having to care about what is going on in my old house is a huge lift off of my shoulders. I am finally happy with my life and it is not in Roxbury, NJ. The move to Bethlehem has been a way to start off clean and begin living the life I should have been years ago.
What is next for me?!? Hopefully, within the next six months, we plan on moving out of his(my boyfriend's) parents' house and into our place. We will finally have privacy and space to grow and settle. We will have space to have friends and family and be a family unit. I can't wait

I hope that y'all have a good day where ever you are reading this and I will talk to you guys next week!
