Y’all! My handsome British fella is back in 1 day after 2+ months apart.
My heart is so happy!

Riding the train home thinking about you. Almost 5 weeks until I get to hug and kiss you. How do y'all make it through long distance relationships? Please help. This is hard.

Why do I keep crying on the train
Lol @ being ghosted
Do people let me down because I care too much? My expectations are too high? I care too much? Probably all of the above.
Tested out the train today since I’ll be commuting that way for my new job. A solid 45 minutes to read/draw is going to be so lovely. Walking around downtown had such a different feeling - men in business suits, women dressed to the 9’s and the hustle and bustle that came along with it. I am so excited for this new chapter!
Here’s a snippet from my afternoon - snagged coffee from my soon-to-be regular spot, a park & a lovely book.
Moving on from a relationship is difficult and no one’s advice will ever cure the blues that are buried deep within. Intertwining your life with someone for any amount of time will never be a clean cut and that’s okay. Their memories will linger. Their voice, the jokes you shared, their imprint in your bed that will never leave.
Time will move me forward. To wake up each day refreshed, empowered and eager to fulfill my own happiness in this growing shell of mine.
You always told me, “No matter what happens in the end you and I will both be okay, wether that’s together or separately.”
I will look back on this and be so fucking proud of myself. You got this, Andy.
I woke up to the sound of rain, sleepily made myself a cup of coffee and worked on some new art prints for most of the day. My fella came over later and we made soup and snuggled and that is what you call a perfect Sunday.
Feeling empowered to make difficult decisions feels amazing
Note to self: change doesn’t happen when you wait around for it
It’s this cutie’s birthday Monday and I took him on a surprise date this weekend. First to The Flying Saucer (a beer lovers heaven) where we drank too many beers and chowed down on nachos then to the comedy club to see Craig Robinson (Darryl from The Office) do stand up!
Happy birthday! 30 looks good on you 🎈
I feel like an empty shell walking around. Everything sucked right out of me.
It’s been a month since I last saw you but we went downtown, wandered around a museum to stay out of the heat, and went to a show together where you didn’t let go of my hand the whole time. I tried not to cry as you sang Waylon Jennings songs to me on the way back home. I miss you so much.
