just thought I would talk about all of the changes I've made since my epic breakup
1. I got my nose pierced, and honestly it's the shit - I love it
2. I gave up my career
3. I'm trying something new and currently living in Spain
4. I want to just experience life and travel
my breakup was debilitating and devastating, but without it, I would have never done any of those things
I've talked about this a lot of medium, but if you weren't familiar with me on the birdsite you probably missed all the detailed accounts and what I've been dealing with afterwards

there are days still, despite how much time has now passed where it's painful - I hear a song and it brings me back
but I've made a lot of important steps and I think it's worthwhile to talk about them
twitter was helpful for me immediately after while I was trying to wade through the wreckage of my life
mastadon is what I wish I had, but I'm glad I have now
people go through these seemingly life-ending things everyday without love and support and that should change
everyone should have what I've see on this site for the last week
support and comfort and unconditional friendship
that is what we all need
if anyone is interested in that lightbulb I had

I've written about half a piece of how being in Spain has really impacted my entire life for the better, and I'm sure I'll finish it eventually
but pretty much I've conditioned myself to believe that being happy didn't matter as much as being successful or having those boxes checked, so now I'm reconditioning myself to change that mindset and be more open to people and willing to just live
hey, also maybe read this piece that has probably been my most well-received life story
