So as of 4 months I've been loved and adored by the MOST amazing man I've ever had access to. Yesterday I officially resigned from my job due to being overwhelmed with school, maintaining this healthy relationship, and work³ (until today I had 3 jobs). When I say school, not only do I mean grad school but its Seminary. Y'all my theology and faith are being tested, challenged, and critiqued daily! 😭

At 23 years of life, I made a decision to stop surviving and start living. I've been a student all my life. This is all I know how to do well. This year I wasn't even being the great student I am. I've talked to my man about the decline and asked if we were too attached to each other. He's been attached to me, but because of my history of hurt I initially was guarded. Now my overly introverted people particular ass has let him in. Idk what I'm trying to say so here our the takeaways:

1) The love of my life is making it his business that I don't move through life alone anymore. I'm accustomed to loneliness but I welcome him openly to thjs work.

2) I resigned from my first big girl-ish job. (It was corporate America, but I was an intern.) My emotions about it are EVERYWHERE. I started my retirement fund here and this was the most I've ever been paid.

3) School as become a big load of race work. As a Black woman in and from the South that's getting heavy and old.

If you actually read these jumbled thoughts blessings.
