Something has shifted in me really recently, and my filter has been pretty absent. Maybe I'm just becoming apathetic, idk, but instead of beating around the bush, or even considering the potential of misunderstandings or 'hurt feelings', I've said outright what's popped into my head, sometimes surprising myself. I wonder if it's true that when people get to a certain point, they just snap. Not long ago a guy tried to wolf whistle me at the train station and I gave him the finger, looked him dead in the eye and said "Don't. It's rude." He was a young fella so I wonder what my reaction would have been if he was older or more threatening looking. But afterwards I was surprised, and kind of proud, of my outburst. Then today I had a job interview and she was asking some pretty probing questions and I basically said, "for those questions, I can't be anything other than honest." I tried to think of a 'softer' way to answer but it was a struggle, so I gave it to her straight, and she really appreciated my honesty. Will be interesting to see how this develops 🤷♀️

I'm proud of how I dismantled an anxious thought the other day. In October, after I finish uni, I will be headed for some life changes such as finding a new job and moving. I started to get anxious about so much rapid change but I calmed myself down, realising that I've had similar circumstances before, and I've got through them, and I'll get through this, just by taking each day as it comes.

My coping mechanism for a similar event or what I will be dealing with has been to try to not think about it.   |

Yesterday, I got my room all cleaned up (hopefully it will stay clean...) and put together my little Christmas tree!

Completed some therapy homework today! She didn't tell me to do it but a few hours after my appointment Monday, she sent me a picture that described what healthy love looks like and said she thought I would like to see it and consider it for my journaling. I gave it a shot. I'll never be able to get through this if I keep all of the feelings inside. Kind of looking forward to next week's appointment to start talking about what I wrote! Also washed a big load of laundry today.

Drove up to my sister’s apartment today and I took the interstate!  It was my first time driving on it by myself! I wasn’t even nervous. Too busy jamming out. A lot of the time, I question my driving skills, but, as far as I know, I haven’t caused any accidents so... I really need to trust myself sometimes! |

Today, I got 2 loads of laundry done, tried to organize the plastic tub that contains my winter/fall clothes, and went through all of my clothes and jewelry and got rid of everything I don’t like anymore.
