NOPE LMAO not until today! Have lived a very sheltered life wrt food, but no more! I be adventurous now.

I'm so thankful for everyone who has helped us get here, though.

And especially for the ones who have continued to stick around despite our hardships - that means so much to me. I've lost a lot of friends along the way, so thank you for still being here.

Thank you.

My biggest ask is patience and understanding. I could have keeled over in the home I grew up in - from being mistreated, malnourished, and stressed beyond belief.

I do not say that lightly. Everything I've been through in the past 30+ years has really done a number on my brain and body.

I'm not constantly on edge like I was just a week ago. Yeah, I got a lot to adjust to, but that'll be smoothed out with time. I'm in uncharted waters, but I have hope now.

Thank you to everyone for your patience. I still have a long way to go, but please know that I'm on the road to healing. 💙

The meaning of Thanksgiving, to me, is to take some extra time to reflect on the things that I am grateful for.

It's hard to feel right now, but I do know that I don't feel very scared anymore. Not as much as I used to back at my parents' place.

I'm scared about "normal" things, now. Not abuse.

I do feel like I'm in an environment where I am able to comfortably heal; to get back on my feet. My partner also needs grace and room to heal.

To be frank, and totally real... I don't know if we would have lasted much longer were it not for our friends.

I'm so thankful.

Not to get too personal on here, but I just talk about these things to give further context to our situation.

I don't think I've ever been treated like a human being outside of the internet, save for random strangers who were kind to me sometimes.

I have a lot of healing to do.

probably should have put this on the personal, but I have been feeling so overstimulated lately w the move and processing everything

life has been so busy for us and I haven't had a proper moment to really think or feel, I guess?

nice to do a little MH check-in with myself

I'm going to be okay.

Gently bumping this a few last times - we're 85% of the way there, and it would help if it were completed.

Realizing we need to buy some furniture, foods, and some essentials. Thank you all so so much for your help!🥹
