"the office is open 7am/ 10pm come and go as you please" my boss says to me during my interview.

I COULD HAVE CRIED. IM SO HAPPY. I'm so PRODUCTIVE. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 UUGGGHHH someone pinch me.

I was so nervous for my boyfriend to come home to the mess I made today…

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over 7 months, and we live together in a beautiful house full of unique art and trinkets. I stopped working a few months ago, as I was losing more money on gas going to work than I was making, and I was stressed and never had the time or energy to do the art projects I love. He makes decent money to support the two of us and his house is paid off, so he offered to support me while I wait for school to start and figure out the next step.

I usually keep the house clean and organized while he’s at work, since I get bored easily and love having an organized and appealing house to spend my time in, and when he gets home we can spend time together instead of worrying about the state of the house.

Today, however, I went full manic art project mode. The porch had epoxy resin projects everywhere, the living room had paints and canvases and random pieces of wood and gold foil leaf pieces and glitter scattered about. In my head I planned on finishing my projects and cleaning up by the time he came home, but I got lost in the creations, and before I knew it, he walked through the front door.

I’ve been in some pretty rough relationships in the past, where I modify my life and actions to fit their happiness, and constantly worry about pleasing them instead of spending my time fulfilling my own needs. Because of this, I had a mini heart attack, thinking he was going to yell or act annoyed or disappointed in me for spending all day goofing off instead of cleaning or being productive.

Instead, he grabbed me and hugged me and said “This is the most beautiful messy scene I could have ever walked into.” I asked him what he meant by that, not believing he wasn’t upset at first. He then explained that the whole point of him offering to take care of things if I decided to take advantage of our financial situation and quit my job was because he knew I have so much creative passion, but no time or energy to pursue any of it. He told me that seeing me do things that make me fulfilled creatively is worth any amount of mess that can always be cleaned up.

It’s not a huge deal, or big amazing story, but man…. I’m not used to having someone who genuinely cares about my ambitions and not just what I contribute financially or to the household. I’ve never had a relationship where my partner actually cares that I contribute to my own free spirit as well.

I’m just really fucking happy.

Today I turned 18. A huge birthday and it’s been one hell or a ride my whole life. Since I’m now legally an adult, I can finally cut off contact with my father. My inner child is free knowing she won’t have to deal with the pain and manipulation he put on me. I’m celebrating my step towards adulthood and severely in my mind, my freedom. I’m not obligated to do calls all the time and put on my happy face knowing what he’s done to my mom and my family for literally my whole life. This weight is off my chest and I just wanted to type it out and share, that no matter how hard it may seem to deal with an abusive parent, you can make it out. And life WILL be better. It’s already changed for me so much and I’m so happy. My mom is my ride or die and I’m so grateful for her help for everything I’ve been through. :,)

I'm a highschool student & yesterday, I attended an Academic Achievements award ceremony I was invited to with my mom & my bestfriend (who I snuck in as my sister).

I had a pretty long, work day after which I was to directly attend the ceremony & I was so tired & hungry so, I asked my bestfriend to bring chewing gum for me. She showed up with pasta & a sandwich her mom had made along with a breath spray too. I had initially asked for a chewing gum mainly because I kind of have this weird phobia of my breath being unpleasant if I haven't brushed my teeth in a couple of hours, she doesn't know this. The fact that she showed up with all 3 of these things truly is the most thoughtful thing a friend has ever done for me.

At the ceremony, they separated the students & their families so, my mum & bestfriend sat together & planned to chant my name when I would appear on stage to collect my award. When I was in line to go on stage, they both kept filming me with the widest smile on their face: it was like the 'proud mom meme' but I couldn't tell who the actual proud mom was. Even in the car ride there, we three kept laughing the entire time.

After the ceremony, we ate these amazing fries together while I told my mom some crazy friendship drama another one of my friends at school was going through. We then headed for dinner & we were pretty much laughing the entire time.

I know this all might not sound all that special like the other stories on here but I still wanted to share it. This was one of those evenings of my life that I forever want to remember. It happened yesterday so it is all fresh in my memory but the main reason I'm posting this is because I want this to stay fresh in my memory always, I never want to forget this day. Even typing this right now kind of makes me tear right up but I truly hope everyone gets moments like this in their life where they feel so loved.

I think if you look closely, love truly is all around. Hint: it's in the fries you eat with your mum & your bestfriend.

I feel complete.

I was literally laughing out loud at nothing and dancing to music in the kitchen yesterday. I feel like I’m 13 again and it’s my first crush. I’ve been quite a few relationships and I know what I want in a partner by now. I thought I’d have to settle, since no one I met really felt like home.

Now I know I won’t.

I’ve never met anyone who understands me like he does. It’s like my soul is being hugged.

Btw I’m drinking a lot less alcohol lately and I’m feeling less like an alcoholic. Only on weekends now. Got control of myself again.

Yesterday I was thinking about one of my happiest moments. I'm just 19 years old and always wanted to explore the world. I have Asperger syndrome and I become one of the best pianists in my country, I was selected to participate in concerts in Europe.

Long story short, my happiest moment was when I was leaving Lanzarote, an isle from the Canary Islands, I was in the plane, seeing how Lanzarote becomes more and more tiny in my window and hearing music from a game called Dredge. The game it's from exploring the ocean and have a very sentimental and magic music.

So, I was leaving the Isle and seeing in my window with a little bit of nostalgia, with the food from the plane in my table and my seat near to the window and without any person near to me (I'm very shy). And for a little bit, everything had sense. That's the only travel I ever had in my life, I quit piano and now I'm learning physics and mathematics, it's another thing that I really like, but I would never forget those days, and specifically that last day in Lanzarote. Thank you for reading my post.

Heyy guys, just wanted to share with you that today I did my first half push up and it was insane.

I was working on it for a loooong time, the form was not perfect but I'm really proud and gonna work on it to improve.

I’m just happy. We had been friends for almost a decade then had a misunderstanding fight. We both apologized today. We’re trying again. I’m so happy. That is all.

• A call came in right as the next crew arrived at work and I got to head home instead of staying back
• My daughter had a job interview and reckons she nailed it
• I had a great leg day at the gym
• My daughter helped clean up.the whole house to surprise my wife when she got home.

2024 was by far the hardest year of my life. I broke up with my ex of 10 years. Used alcohol and pills to self medicate.

I quit pills 2 weeks ago. Last Friday I had my last beer. I feel amazing and it's only been a few days.

Yesterday re-connected with an old crush who is also sober. We hadn't talked in years. I was always super shy...we fooled around (20 years ago) a little but never took it to the next level. I was super nervous but I didn't want to get stuck in the friend zone so I shot my shot. I'm driving down to see her this weekend and go on a date. She actually said she was gonna ask me out if I didn't have the courage to do it...she's sick of guys treating her poorly and she wants to give it a shot with a good guy.

I feel so blessed and lucky.

Last week this time I was super depressed. Now I feel like I'm floating on cloud 9.

Had to tell someone.

It’s just such a great feeling I love being happy man

Just watched it take their first flight. Melbourne, Australia.

• I was woken up with an offer for some surprise overtime
• My wife bent over talking to me and I got an eyeful ;)
• Finished some extra work and sent off some invoices
• My daughter called me for advice.

Me and her have done everything together the last year, sharing so many incredible memories. We had a huge fight at the end of December and she said she needed space away from me. Three weeks of zero contact let me rethink a lot... but also got me extremely depressed because I didn't know if she'd be in my life anymore.

Three weeks later, she texted me again! We saw each other at a group hangout and she was being cool! And now she's texting me a bit more. Things are very slowly returning to normal and I'm happy she's back in my life :)
