I wanted a photo of the animal tracks in my backyard, not realizing that I also captured the firepit and plastic chairs that came with the house a year and a half ago but I have yet to do anything about (oops).

I couldn't add to my collection of Carley Baer-designed shirts (because the only color options were blue and orange and we all know I rarely wear anything that isn't black or grey), so I had to get this big mug.

I've been ordering stamps online for a few years now to make sure that I get the fun ones that I want. I really love the lunar new year ones, and the current series is really pretty.

a little corner in my bedroom. I love this fake plant that my stepmom gave me, and that print has been hanging in each of my last four bedrooms. (it looked best on the brick walls when I lived downtown, but I do like the grey walls in this room.)
[ps - it's Functional Gray by Sherwin Williams but I call it Formidable Grey.]

it's been a while since I've taken a books photo here. I'm forever trying to knock books off my Goodreads to read list. I had a bit of a confusing time with Again Again because it would frequently shift to alternate worlds, so there would be several variations of a scenario that the characters went through.

on claiming my sobriety.

3/2/2021

as of today, I have been sober for five years. five years. so much has happened in those five years.

I have been (essentially) told that I’m not allowed to call myself “sober” because it wasn’t like I had a drinking problem. but that’s not how I see it. no, I wasn’t going out every night or even every week, but I was still going out and getting drunk with certain people because I thought it made me seem cool.

I was young and impressionable, and I thought that this was what I was supposed to be doing. but I wasn’t taking care of myself. it was so easy for me to quickly get drunk with maybe a drink or two because I wasn’t eating like I should have been. I would look back the next day and just didn’t like who I had been the night before. I would look ahead and see the way that my life was going to turn out if I kept this up. one of those cringey moments was when I cried on new year’s eve because the ice in my water melted. I laugh about it now, but I also feel sad for the 22-year-old I was.

so, no, I didn’t really have a big drinking problem, but I could have if I didn’t change my ways. yes, I still crave the whiskey sometimes, but I’m glad that it’s not in my life anymore.

I guess the moral of the story is that you can be proud of who you are and the decisions you make for yourself. just because I didn’t have to dig myself out of a hole doesn’t mean I can’t claim my journey.

here’s to five years clean, and the next five ahead.
