What Are You Happy About Today?

I’m happy that I got to go to the city with my sister today for Black Friday! I got a cool new jumper that I’ve been eyeing for a while on sale and some comfy new pajama shorts! I’m also happy that I got to eat at an asian restaurant with my dad and sister. We haven’t been to that restaurant in a while and it’s a favourite of ours. Afterwards, we got gelato and now my dad’s staying over for the night at our place! Today was a good day.
 
Worked on my 1,000 word capsule biography over Eddie Van Halen today - I think I was near 300 words. I'm getting there!

Also, I was grinning when I heard "And The Cradle Will Rock" by Van Halen playing on the radio. Feel like that song rarely gets aired.
 
I spent all day at home by myself playing Genshin Impact and I am seriously addicted. :devilish:

It’s also really nice to have some peace and quiet for awhile. I‘ve been so much happier than I was for awhile these days and I hope it continues to last. I finally feel more confident and like myself again. :giggle:
 
my very best friend had to write a poem for their theater class and they chose to write it about me and now my heart can't take it ;v;
knowing them i thought they would write something super emo down but nope ;v;
it's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me (i'm generally very very hated)
 
I’m happy that today was just a good day in general today! I had a short shift at work, had a nice dinner while watching anime with my sister, played some New Horizons and finished the day off by playing Age Of Calamity with my sister!
 
It’s snowing! I love the snow so much. It’s snowed a few times in November but always ended up melting - this stuff might melt away too but the weather shows it’s supposed to snow all night tonight and all day tomorrow! ❄️
 
when i was in elementary school, my grandmother told me that i was crazier than my mother. in middle school, she ridiculed my weight so obsessively that i ultimately began to starve myself; the rapid weight loss leading to the formation of gallstones, something that isn’t often seen in anyone under the age of forty. i don’t, and likely never will, have the words to express just how badly she’s hurt me and the resentment that i harbour for her. but despite all of that, i have never stood up to her, out of respect for my mother and out of fear for myself. i had so much to say but i never knew how and so, i stayed silent and let my mother fight my battles for me.

but tonight, i stood up to her. i was expecting my mother to be angry with me for doing so ... but she’s not. she’s proud. even my father is proud. hell, i’m proud. granted, my grandmother did manage to get some hurtful comments in, accusing me of not caring for anyone but myself. and maybe that was true at one point; maybe, for a long time, i was selfish and seemingly void of empathy. but that’s not true now. i know that, even if she doesn’t, and that’s good enough for me.

i stood up for myself tonight. and god it felt so good.
