Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I know I have said this before, but this time feels different. I feel different. It has taken 2 suicide attempts and 20 days in a locked-down behavioral health facility and a couple med changes, but it was worth it!! So to kinda quote The Lion King... You gotta put the past behind ya!! And I have!!
New Emmy has all sorts of plans and goals. First, I am getting my hairs cut and dyed. My bedroom is getting an overhaul. I am considering going back to school for Graphic Design... or an English Teacher... or Video Game Designer... or Accounting... My problem is that I love doing so many different things! Once my disability comes through, I am considering buying a home close to Mom, getting a car, taking a vaca... I have started learning Spanish. I'm looking forward to when my allergy serum shots are done... in about 3 YEARS!! I want to work outside... crafts, decorating the yard, gardening, hugging a tree... :)
I always make a few goals to do each day. I've done 2 already. I still have 3 more. It gives me a purpose, and my, sometimes, racing mind calms when I am doing something physical. I also have started helping with Hale's Homecoming this fall... Class Float and Chairperson on the Saturday night Program! I can't wait!!
So tell me all about all of you! I never judge... One of my favorite quotes, "Those who matter don't judge, and those that judge don't matter." So vent away!!!
Brightest Blessings!
