You all probably remember that I just got out of a VERY toxic and abusive household last September. It was certainly the best thing I have ever done for myself and I am extremely grateful to have this new family watch over me and aid me towards my success. So after I got through the initial pain of moving out, and now cut off all contact completely, I've been feeling so much better now. I have more motivation and I am happier now that I finally have some stability in my life. I also got back in touch with a friend of mine who was also abused by this same person, and we've been celebrating and practicing our spiritual growth together. 

I also have a stable job too now at a gas station. For some weird reason, the past three jobs I've had, I had managers that were gay. It helps a lot as far as non discrimination in the workplace since your boss is a fellow LGBT. I've been saving up money since I've started there. 

I also got back on some medication I have needed for a while. Insurance was giving me trouble so I got to switch over to a better plan last month and it just kicked in this week. 

I have the paperwork to legally change my name.

I also emailed my dream school for aid on applying and getting grants. It's highly likely I will be moving to New Jersey this summer. My backup plan if this falls through is to go to University of Belleville. 

Tristan also mailed me some new shirts which helped a lot because I only had two outfits to my name before his help. I now own three bleeding star shirts (a scene/Emo fossil). Forever thankful for his help. 

What are my new goals for 2019?

Get my drivers lisence, change my name, apply for college, get my grants/loans, work on getting my tax returns that I missed since 2014, pay off some of my bills, get a cheap car, meet new friends to connect with, and keep toxic people out of my life.

Anyways, I'm wishing everyone a happy 2019. Remember to make some noise! Killjoys never die.
