A Rough Week
6 years ago
It’s been a while since I last posted a journal. A lot has happened since my last one.
On the positive end, I’m in school again. I decided I was tired of waiting table and working in retail so last fall I got the ball rolling on my education to get me on a long term career path. In January I started my schooling to become a massage therapist. By next year I’ll be able to write my board exams to become a full RMT (Registered Massage Therapist). To those outside of Canada, it may a “masseuse” thing, which it isn’t lol I actually hate that term. Canada takes massage therapy pretty seriously so in a lot of places it requires extensive training and schooling (especially Ontario, BC, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and I believe most rescently PEI. The massage regulated Provinces.) which I’ve already completed 6 months of.
So that’s good on a professional level, but things haven’t been so good personally...
On Wednesday night this past week my boyfriend and I had a long talk and decided to break up. This was on the 19(kinda into the 20th since it was late lol) and our 4 year anniversary was on Friday the 21st. We still counted it as 4 years though and the break up has been amicable, we’re still going to be friends and he’s helping me look for a new place.
This is obviously as stressful as it is heart breaking, and with Pride being this weekend in Toronto, it’s hard not being in the mood for the same celebration that originally brought us together.
My boyfriend, I guess now ex, was never a furry and it was always a bit awkward explaining things to him.... especially a person with my kinks. I learned a lot about myself form this experience. I know that I don’t want to date again for a while lol and I also don’t feel that monogamy is for me. I think moving forward I really want to see how open relationships work out if both parties agree to fair ground rules.
It’s a trying time right now, but hopefully in a few months when things have settled more, I’ll be feeling 100% again. Along with balancing my school stuff I want to start drawing more frequently again (not just refs) and I want to be more free to chat as well.
Not sure who all will read this, but I appreciate anyone who takes the time ^^

As for becoming a massage therapist and going back to college, well....YOU'RE MY NEW BEST FRIEND XD
JK
Super proud of you, though! It takes a big decision to go back to college. I've done 3 years of it so I happy you decided to do this for yourself. I wish you the best of luck in your studies ^^
It's fun to be working towards a career instead of staying in the same jobs for unstable pay waiting for something to come up.
I will not forsake your devotion.
I would love to reconnect again soon.
I don’t think I’ll be finishing that comic though, it’s been too long and I’ve change the characters in a lot of ways since. However I might redo the comic a little differently in the future when I’m less busy with work and school.
Would you want to chat sometime?
