Good news hub!

A lot of my joy lately is coming from others' joy and growth, so I wanted to create a space for that. Please tell me some positive things that have been happening to you, whatever form they take!

I'll start!

After years of struggling financially, I am finally in the positives again and closed both of my overdrafts. This was a massive source of stress for around a decade.

Piggybacking off that, I've started asking for help when I need it and my dad was super generous and has ordered me a new mattress which will get here next week. I have really bad back pain and my current mattress had me waking up with bruises from the springs digging in to me, so I'm super grateful that he made such a big purchase for me with zero questions asked.

I get to see my partner tomorrow, and on Friday my sister is coming with me to meet a long distance friend for the first time. We met on Twitch and we're going to be spending the day at the botanic gardens!!

After battling with my mental health for a decade, I'm finally on a medication that seems to be working for me. I still have a long way to go but I'm really happy with the progress that's being made.

I have crushed my reading goal for the year! I set it at a consistent 12 for one a month because I would rather exceed than feel like I failed, and I just checked and I have read THIRTY SEVEN!! That's HUGE for me.

Share your joy, friends! Big or small  I hope you all have fantastic days!

Well I suddenly feel so much better after being all demotivated and stressed for a couple of days, so I'm doing stuff I couldn't do during that time and that makes me real happy

I'm about to make an appointment for my college interview, I'm currently organizing my room after a good while (It's gonna look realll good ) and I'm planning to call my gf to pass the time! I just hope her pc doesn't explode or something 

Also, It's been a good while but I'm happy that the stomach pains I used to have finally got diagnosed, I finally know how to avoid them.

I just recently started drawing again thanks to a website I found called Dewdul! I’d been having a horrible mid month full of burn out and artblock due to stress and fatigue from college, but since the whole point of Dewdul is to make well, a doodle it made helped me to take a bit of that edge off of drawing and it was super fun!  The drawing program itself is nothing too sophisticated obviously, but I was very surprised still when I discovered that it had layers and a lasso tool so that was pretty cool. :3 The community there is pretty friendly, and you can find super talented artists on there too! I think it’s a very good site to try out if you’re struggling a bit artistically and want to relearn how to take art more casually again.

That's so exciting!! Dewdul looks super neat, I love the little animations people are creating and sometimes it's good to express in "simpler" ways in order to get out of burnout. A friendly community always makes a world of difference, too :) I hope you keep finding things to brighten up your days, I know how demotivating burnout can be

I'm so glad to hear this!! It's so nice to come out of your hole after a little while of life winning. Best of luck with your college interview, and I hope you had a nice time chilling with your girlfriend!! Thank you for sharing

I'VE FINALLY MOVED OUT OF MY PARENTS' HOUSE!!!!!!!!       

After four years of living in a boring as hell mining town, I'm now living in a proper city. It's still rather small, but I'll no doubt prefer it much more over that shitty place. I can now get a job, have a social life, and no longer need my parent's assistance with everything. It sucks that I've had to wait until I became 24 to do it, but my adulthood is now properly starting and I couldn't be happier.

I recently became official with a guy I've been seeing for a few months! I was all "mustn't-be-too-hasty" because I had a different friend that liked me and so it was a weird paralyzing situation and I've been hurt in dating in the past, but I called my best friend one day and he inspired me to take the bull by the horns and just ask him to be my boyfriend! And coincidentally it was on the four-month anniversary of him asking me out for the first time. :) He's really lovely and I feel like I can be myself around him!!

I also got a really cool Windows XP laptop recently, which I'm writing this from, that even has a working battery! And I'm going to study abroad in England next semester, which I've always dreamed of since I'm a total Anglophile. Life is really great!
