yeah like
i wanna expand my social group
also i need a job (i'm applying for all of them i swear) so that i can get a bigger, better, nicer place to live
should also get my drivers license (now that i'm alone and not drunk all the time it should be a lot easier)

and just idk, i want to be happy?

on the same page as you- i was actually scheduled to go to the DMV and get my license about a week before quarantine hit. starting small is probably the easiest way to go (i personally started doing my makeup as a reminder to shower on a daily basis, then started eating meals the same time as my cat to remind myself to eat) .

taking your life back is tough work, but worth it! i believe in you

i try to do things every day but idk man
like, tomorrow i'm going to my brother's graduation. on monday i hung out with one of my best friends, then on tuesday i went and played cards against humanity with her and her bf. yesterday she came over + another friend none of us had seen for over a year cos he's been in france and stuff and we had a little reunion and then at around 5pm today he went home and believe me being alone finally felt SUPER FUCKING GREAT butttt... now i'm lonely again
