The new boy is especially good with origami, he’s a teacher and used it with his students, I don’t have the patience for origami, but for him I’m going to try, I’ll make a whole host of things!

How I did it: I recognised the signs and symtpoms I have come to see as the beginning of that steep and damaging down hill slope.From there I also know what I must do to stop mysel ffrom falling. I talk to people, I force myself to do stuff, get outside, embrace the good, and fight off the bad.I also ridded myself of some misery causing 'friends' you know, the ones who say horrible hurtful things under the guise of 'i thought you could take a jok… Read how I did it…
I’m not spending much time in front of my computer at the moment, which is great for my life, but not so great for this goal…

28/3
Movie watching in the rain with good friends
I had stitches removed and nearly passed out, I continued to feel shitty all day, so I went home early and napped, then a friend who was in town for a few days came over to keep me company- Zombieland FTW
The shit date that turned into one of the best nights ever- I had a date with someone I thought wasn’t really my match, but then people think that often and get it wrong, and I’ve never dated as such (always a friend of a friend or whatever) so I went on this date, it was freaking terrible…..but I had lined up to ‘run into’ friends, I figured if me and the dude weren’t getting on this would save me, but if we were, then we’d all have a laugh- like me, like my friends stylee…..the former was the case, the dude bought lots of drinks and no real food, I think he was trying that old ‘get em drunk, get em into bed’ thing…..
Whatever at 2am I found myself beach swimming with 3 incredibly good friends- brilliant night…. so many details, just know it was brilliant.
The boy- I’ve known this guy for a while now, at the ‘singles’ night we had to ‘speed date’ and I already knew he was a runner, so we swapped numbers for that, I said ‘I know you think I’m drunk, but I will txt you tomorrow to remind you I remembered!’ so I did and we had a few messages back and forth, it is a bit important for me to mention this guy is C-uuute! He asked what I was doing the next day, I said ‘face painting for a community event’, he showed up in the rain to say ‘hi’ we got coffee that day and then spent most of the waking hrs of the following week txting, I had assumed, party because he is a teeny bit younger and partly because he is insanely cute- that it was just friends, even though I found myself drawing further to him….I was proven wrong…
After the beach swimming we kissed- yet I started the night with 1 guy and ended with another- whatever, these things can’t be planned.
29/3
Breakfast, I stayed at ‘the boys’s’ house, the next day he made me the most amazing eggs, just scrambled, but with herbs, spices, carrot, onion, snow peas- bliss
That blissful/terrible ‘does he like me, smiles when you get a txt, yes, he likes me, I like him, silly sigh when you think about them’ early stages of a relationship type situation.
Family dinner for Good Friday
Wathcing TV in bed
30/3

omg I can’t quite believe I am going to actually write this- what is happening to me- snuggles…. urgh vom, I think I REALLY like this guy…
31/3
