Im happy. I think thats what i've finally decided. i was worrying too much about others and not really paying attention to what was making ME happy. i was worrying about leaving people behind, about people being mad at me and about people adding their two cents. But i think now i've gotten to the point where no matter what i may go through, i am truly happy. im in a situation i chose, and although NO situation is perfect, im happy. i have my love, i have my dog, and i have my own place. the money situation will eventually work itself out, but we're lucky enough to have people that are willing and able to help.

i do really miss my mom though, and my family. i get sad about being so far from them when im used to being so close. literally, they were just a garage away, and now they're a whole stateline and 300 miles away. my mom did come out though for her first trip to Phoenix. Once my stepdad saw a certain land marker for him, he realized that he had traveled in the same area Im living in when he used to work for his old company. it was awesome though cause we went housewarming shopping. and thats something that i've done before but never for my own home. it was one of the best feelings in the world, and my mom was just as excited as i was.

i feel like damn, after a few bumps in the road everything is falling into place. and the more im here and living in this life, the more assured i am.

i'd try to make this a little longer, but im being called to bed by a certain pugged face dog and the love my heart sings for. but from here on out, im not afraid to show my love anymore. if you dont like it, then tough titties. i cant be forced to sugar coat anything just to give everyone else peace of mind. If i did, then who would be giving it to me?
