Can’t believe it’s 2020 and guys still think that hating pineapple on pizza, feeling any kind of way about coriander and not having watched iconic TV shows are the personality traits they should use to sell themselves to women on dating apps.
About 2 minutes ago, I paid off my last bit of debt. I owe nothing on my credit card, my car loan is done, my new furniture is paid for & I have a tiny bit in savings. Its a miracle.
If anyone needs me I’ll be crying happy tears into my non-alcoholic wine. TGIF!!!!
I can't even remember if this will be lockdown 4.0 or lockdown 5.0 for Melbourne, either way I'm exhausted & angry & sad. I get that Covid isn't going anywhere, but why haven't the gov learned from their past fuckups to prevent us having to do this AGAIN?
Last night, at the tail end of an acid trip, a decision was made to watch Requiem for a Dream. We’d both seen it before & knew what we were getting into. Absolute cracker of a bad decision.
What would be cool is if people on dating apps didn’t act like I’ve just ruined their favourite childhood movie when I tell them I don’t drink. It’s not a big deal, acting shocked & asking really invasive follow up questions is not the move.
I kinda stopped keeping track of my alcohol sobriety (except for the big milestones), but I accidentally opened the app today looking for another app and it’s been 21 months since I had a drink and that to me is fucking MENTAL.
Well it took 18 months of sobriety but I’ve now had my first night out where everyone was drinking & I opted to leave & go home because I was uncomfortable. Some may call this lame. I call it sensible. Potato potato.
Was spiralling a bit about a solo/nothing Christmas but it’s actually been kind of nice? Video calls with my parents, made a great brunch, now at the beach with snacks, drinks and a book. Not mad at this at allllll.
Talking to a guy on hinge. Say I love camping, love winter, love day trips in winter, but just don’t like camping in winter... he says all Aussies hate it, I say I’m from NZ so that’s not true... then this... how great are dating apps 🙃
I want Essendon to lose this weekend for the sole reason that it will majorly upset the guy I was seeing in lockdown 5.0 (that love-bombed me then dumped me out of nowhere). Yes, its petty and no, I don't care.
The last 2 years have been… a lot. Confronting. Eye-opening. But I stuck it out. I worked really hard to get here, to become someone I’m proud of, who loves themselves more & more each day. I’m feeling a lot of emotions right now but mostly I’m just happy & grateful to be here.
My manager just FaceTimed me to tell me my contract is getting extended until the end of the year. I immediately burst into tears. This is such a huge relief, but I feel so guilty given how many people have lost work.
Told myself I’d read a book per week in isolation, kinda as my iso ‘thing’. So far it’s been 4 weeks, 0 books... so maybe my ‘thing’ isn’t reading, it’s lying.
My bougie ass mirror arrived this morning and my lounge room is finally complete. Only took 8 months but she got there! Now to hope I never have to move again
I’ve owned this skirt for close to 7 years & this is the first time I’ve been able to actually wear it because it was always too tight or wouldn’t zip up. It’s nothing special at all but ngl this feels good!
450 fucking cases. What the actual fuck. I know lockdown has prevented it from getting even worse, but it’s hard not to feel like this has all been for nothing.
My Aunty Carol passed away today. She was the kindest, most caring person I knew, just such a selfless & beautiful human being. She lived for her family. She was only 59 & sadly my dad can’t travel to NZ for his only sisters funeral. My heart breaks for him, my cousin & uncle.
If you’re a guy who’s slept with someone when they were blackout drunk/couldn’t realistically consent & run into them again years later... the move isn’t to bring it up with them in front of people (when they clearly don’t remember you) as a bit to embarrass them. It’s gross.
