I’m feeling so much better than I was a few months ago.

Than I was for all of 2011 actually. Which is amazing, but also slightly unsettling. Like things are too good, and I’m slightly distrustful of it. I guess that’s what happens when you get out of a really rocky relationship. 

I’m trying to not settle for easy, though. I want to challenge myself, to get out of my comfort zone. I’m going to go to the party the restaurant where I work is having tomorrow night, even though I’ll be the youngest person there and don’t hang out with anyone outside of work. And despite the fact that social situations like that have the tendency to give me a bit of anxiety. I’m just gonna do it, and see how it goes!

Also, I’m going to quit the literary magazine I work for at my university. I like the work, I love reading poetry, but I just don’t really connect with the people very much. Which takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it.

I’m done convincing myself I like things just because I want to. 

Sorry for the cliche, but life is too short.
