Things I felt grateful for: Heard this story over Christmas about a friend’s niece who came out recently, her nan was like, “Do you have a boyfriend yet” and she was like “no but I have a girlfriend” and the nan was so excited. I love when queer teens are accepted unconditionally by their families at Christmas, Clea DuVall should make a movie about that.

Thoughts on this week: Starts are always hard for me. I missed several of the deadlines I set for myself this week, but I found a scrap of motivation and I got caught up on most of the work. Still a few unresolved tasks; get on it, Dymond.
I had a whole bunch of unexpected b.s. to deal with right at the top of this week, so I think all things considered I am doing ok. I was feeling super demotivated but I have good friends & family support systems and they helped.
I’m feeling more apprehensive about this year than I was just a week ago, but I’m trying to stay realistic and not let the anxiety get to me. I’ll be ok. I’m doing ok. It’s going to be fine.
One problem I have is taking on too much – in terms of projects but also in terms of problems. Like, just last paragraph, I said I was already feeling apprehensive about “the year.” It’s only January week 1; worry about January, Veronica.
Deep breaths; you got this.
