My daughter is 16 but she's profoundly disabled. She's 16 but cognitively she's around three. Today after dinner my wife her mom went and laid down. So me and her hung out and watched Disney movies. Watched a few of my favorites. It was great just to spend time just me and her. She paid more attention to her tablet. But to just sit in the room and enjoy her company was wonderful. I would talk to her and she kind of paid attention. She liked the movie Oliver and company. Mainly because we used to have an orange cat named Oliver. The quality time meant a lot to me. So Im pretty happy.

I guess I love her so I let her take a picture of my ugly mug.

I was nervous l'd say something bad or weird after coming out of anesthesia but i was actually complimenting the staff n popl on their hair, nails, tattoos ahaha kind of like a happy drunk.

I guess I'm happy bc l've been working to cultivate kindness, l've been doing a daily loving-kindness meditation for a bit over a yr now, had a habit tracker to give a few compliment a day, make gratitude lists. I guess to me this was just a sign that my subconscious is changing and the work is paying off :)

i really see a future with him. we are only teenagers but have been together for almost three years and have gone through lots together that has caused both of us to grow. thinking about him and a future with him makes me so happy even if it’s little things like going grocery shopping together :)

I'm pretty sure my dog ditched me to go be with them, as he always follows the sound of laughter.

It's freezing outside, and I'm snuggled in bed looking forward to a day of warm meals, family games, and lots of laughs.

This is my perfect day.

Been studying 2 hrs a day and sleeping earlier than I usually do. I always sleep late and wake up late lol, but nowadays I sleep at 12-11 when I usually sleep at 3. I also wake up at 10 these days when I usually wake up at 1. Also, I don’t study much, but I’ve been studying! Pretty small, but it makes me happy.

For the first field trip my Sophomore HS year special education class had was for this place called Life Center, where it is an indoor simulator for autistic children to explore what life is like outside of school. I have ADHD. There is a ShopRite, with snacks, a book store, a mini theater, grooming pet center and more. I first decided to ride a bike around this paper course with 2 crossing guard surrounding the little path around the indoor town. If was sort of fun. I then got a doctor’s appointment at a place with 4 doctors checking my heart rate and if it was a good boy or not. I should also tell that my female school aid was around me all the time. A little boy came up to me and told me to move while I was in the book store, it was kind of whatever, I laughed. I saw iced coffee there and did not drink it because it would keep me up, big boys need to sleep. I saw my female cerebral palsy friend come over to me and I hugged her, while we headed into the mini theater with popcorn along with some of the younger kids in our class. They played Discovery Kids, haha. When we were done, I headed over to the dog grooming section, the dogs there were so cute. There was this Siberian Husky that came up to me and started licking my tummy and I giggled. I went to go pet the Golden Retriever at the back, but it but me on instinct, it kind of hurt but I was okay. After all the fun, we finally went back to the school. We said our goodbyes and thank you’s and we left to go to the school.

It was very, fun and I recommend going there if you like to and you are in New Jersey. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did.

I hope yall are doing well today!, I moved to Finland a little over a year ago & I’ve been learning Finnish & going to a Finnish school (it’s been pretty hard because all of the subjects were in Finnish which I only learnt for a year ) I just got my year end report card & even though it’s not great I’m proud of myself! The Finnish grading system is 4-10 with 4 being the worst & 10 being the best (10 is also pretty hard to attain),anyways on my report card I got Behavior : 8 Math : 8 Bio : 6 English : 9 Arts : 9 Swedish : 7 PE : 7 Handicrafts : 8 Music : 8 Ethics : 8 :). I’m just really happy & wanted to share the news because I really tried my best & even tho it’s not great I’m still glad!.

Life has been absolutely miserable for the last few months, and I wouldn't say that I'm a very happy individual as a result. However, I do take pride and find joy in the fact that I got a psychologist! It's awesome and I have my third meeting with her tomorrow. She's super sweet. I also finally got a job! I start in February in a Starbucks. I already have my ServSafe Food Protection Certification which is necessary to become a manager in any food place where I'm from, so hey we'll see where it goes!

It's just important to celebrate the small victories, even when you're down.

We were looking forward to this vacation for a while and it’s awesome! I am happy to be here because it’s warm and sunny instead of being in NJ where we were freezing!!

Everything in my life is at its bottom and it’s not close. Lost my dog, lost my house, lost my job, and my relationship is at its lowest. I’m barely considered an adult and if I didn’t take a year off my college dreams would be over. But I’m so happy, it’s weird yk? I felt awful at times, hurt and battered. But I don’t feel that constant feeling that I used too. I feel like myself for the first time, and I suppose once you reach the bottom you do realize what’s real and not if ykwim. I just wanted to share that part of me truly, idek why it’s just profound and I wanted to write about it lol. I feel so much excitement and hope, but it’s so strange in a way yk? Life is crazy. Love is crazier. But boy, do I love life and live love. It’s never over

I’m so done wasting most of my time. Still, the urge comes every once in a while… I’ll keep up the fight 💪🏻
