I just wanted to let everyone know that i am going to start using a new account. This account contains way too much of my past and i am ready to move on and grow. If you want my new account name feel free to note me.

Hello All-

i just finished reading another incredible Ellen Hopkins book. i wont get into that too deeply because god, i could talk about her writing for hours, but it just put me in somewhat of a journaling mood and i figured since i havent updated this in awhile that maybe its time.

if you havent read Ellen Hopkins' books, go do it NOW
my two favorites from her are Impulse and Identical but Crank is really good too and all her stuff is worth a read.

things are going well, i have just been doing a lot of thinking and philosophizing lately. but all is well.

i hope all you out there are doing well

Sorry guys, I know I usually write every month anniversary, but since I have started work and have been working full time plus over time it is a little harder to get on here.

I have 5 months clean sober and self-injury free as of August 17th. It was a little rocky for a bit after, but my program is getting stronger again and the rocky parts are part of recovery. If it wasn't hard at times, I wouldn't be growing.

So I have been working at Steak 'N Shake. I know that sounds ultra dorky, but it actually is working out really well, and since I work so many hours the payout is pretty good too.

Things are just going well right now. Family life is incredible. The bond I have been able to form with my mom and my brothers since I've been sober has made it all more than worth it.

As long as I keep my alcoholic thinking at bay, I'm good to go.

How are you all doing? Hope all is well.

hey everyone out there

today i am officially four months clean, sober, and SI free. it has been a beautiful road, and i plan to continue to travel it. i just wanted to thank you guys so much for being so supportive and awesome to me.

everything seems to be going pretty well. there are rough patches, but thats life. and life is beautiful. it isnt perfect, perfect isnt beautiful. it is the tragedies that help make life so breathtakingly gorgeous.

things are going to be super crazy because i am trying to apply for spring semester to start college, which would be starting a semester early, but i have to finish 18 credits and have all my final grades by november 1...which seems like a time, but it will be crazy. but it is what i really want and feel i need and i am going to kick my butt to get it done.

how is everyone doing out there?

hope all is well!


God's will, not mine.
