It's so crazy of me to even consider this as I haven't worked a single paying job in a year. I had a breakdown of sorts which led to me quitting school and stopping work. My parents were super supportive but perhaps not anymore. I want to move out now and have my own space. I don't want to wait for my life to "get in line" for me to try stuff and do things. Like moving out! But everything is so expensive in Addis and I would need at least about 5 months worth of monthly salaries to even consider moving out.

this March i moved out from my parents' to my own appartment, at first it was scary bc i didn't think I would be able to afford living by myself and keep my two cats, sometimes we're tight on money but so far it's been the best year I can think of, I've learned a lot from living on my own and I was able to do lots of things that I couldn't if I had stayed with my parents, like focusing on my own and on my projects and travelling with friends I'm really looking forward to next year <33

I saw a series on tt that goes "Things that make me want to be healthy that have nothing to do with men or wanting to be beautiful". It's one of the most relevant and beautiful things the algorithm has blessed me with recently. I've been thinking about starting a light weight loss fitness journey but I couldn't find it in me to go through with it because a) working out sucks, and b) I don't even know WHY I want to do it. I don't want to feed old attitudes and mentalities that motivated me to be "healthier" in a way when I was younger but absolutely butchered my relationship with my body. *Shrugging girl emoji

It had me thinking uncouth? thoughts. For sure it was a sexually stimulatig film but the extent to which the makers decided to push it is astounding to me. It had me thinking about knowing where to draw the line in cases of severe infatuation and/or sexually charged relationships/affairs. As a person who wants to explore her sexuality to its deepest end, but is also a little emotionally avoidant and is easily weirded out by intimacy, films such as ITRTS make me feel like there is some level of compulsion or obsessiveness? that I haven't quite felt with the men I've been with. In my head I be having the filthiest thoughts but rarely does it translate to the bedroom.

I recently switched over to a Nokia 2780 and I feel better but I crave the scroll! I am trying to remain strong and believe that this will be good for me. So far I have found benefitted from reading way more (read the entirety of Eve Babitz Sex and Rage on Sunday), being far less anxious about the state of the world, and listening to the albums I own and remembering songs that mean so much to me. But I am in a moment of weakness. A moment of doubt. Help. Tell me it will be worth it.
