Howdy, all.
I know I've been pretty much dead here, and for that I apologize.

The past few months have been a roller coaster ride in regards to my mental health, and I took a bit of a hiatus from most social media, utilizing a side twitter account to speak to close friends after removing some toxic people from my life.
This year already I've taken it upon myself to finally push towards being the best version of me that I can possibly achieve. My New Year's resolution was to make this the year I was proud to be alive after a suicide attempt on Thanksgiving.
I've quit smoking cigarettes for good... 67 days into 2018 and I haven't had a single one, or even taken a drag.
I went to my doctor and I'm back on antidepressants. It's a small dose, but enough to help me level myself out. I forgot how it felt to just... live. It's amazing.
I'm actively seeing a therapist. We're still in the early stages, but it's definitely doing some good for me.
I'm being more open to my identity. I've purchased a new binder and will be taking steps to find a trans friendly counselor in my area to speak to.
My partner is going to look at an apartment on Monday... our potential house.
I've started working out again, even if it's just simple things here at home for now.

So many good things have come my way. But it took a very long time of falling down before I realized how deeply I needed to turn towards another direction.

Anyways... I'm back. I'm doing so much better. I'm happy.

I'll be at FAU for only a day, but I'll have with me! We'll be there on the 26th all day long!
