I am really trying to make myself do things that are good for me, like yoga and walking. It was cold last night and I didn't want to do anything, but had to take the dog out anyway. We walked a long time even though it was cold and it was good for me to get some exercise. I sit all day at work so movement helps my mood tremendously sometimes.

People are coming over for NYE and I am really nervous about it. I am ok going to somebody else's house because I can escape and go home. But not now. They will drink a lot and I won't be able to hide.

There is this one friend - actually a friend's fiance - who finds me whenever I am trying to take space for myself and gets mad at me, calling me antisocial. Usually she is drunk and I blame it on that. But it still gets to me because sometimes I need the space. She's coming tomorrow and I'm a bit dreading this.

i don't think anyone likes it.

i think a lot of people just want to live life best they can, enjoy daily activity, and just attempt to be happy

but it's not easy

especially for me as i don't really feel i'm alive at all
