    There have been some positives, though!

    My identity is something that I’ve always struggled with. I consider myself gender-fluid nowadays. Any and all pronouns welcome. I’m more comfortable with myself and have found a style that works for me depending on how I’m feeling any given day.

    I’m also working my dream job. I’m not certified yet, but I’m working as a tech at an animal hospital and learning on the job. I’d eventually like to go through schooling to get my certification, but for now I’m comfortable with where I’m at.

    And lastly… GUYS, I’M ENGAGED! I proposed to the love of my life almost a year ago, on our 5th anniversary. She’s beautiful and amazing and everything and more than I could’ve ever hoped for. I feel like the luckiest human alive every day I get to wake up next to her. Talking about her here kind of blows my mind, considering I joined this website nearly 10 years ago due to a lot of mental health issues I had that were all related to my toxic and abusive ex.

    I still have my bad days. My mental health isn’t perfect. Hell, my life isn’t perfect and I take a lot of punches. But being on here and looking at my history, I’m proud to say I’m way better than I used to be and I’m glad I never gave into any of my dark urges.

    I have everyone here to thank. I see some familiar faces that are still active every so often and it warms my heart. I don’t know when the next time I’ll log back in, but it’s good to see you guys after all these years.
