Teaching is the best
3 years ago
I’ve been a teacher for six years, and absolutely love it. I teach first grade (which is wonderful) and I adore watching them read, and become more independent. I highly recommend it!

Over the hump
3 years ago
It’s been almost five weeks now, and I feel that I am on my way to surviving this relationship ending. I am under no illusions that there will be sad/hard times ahead: she is moving out in two weeks and I am sure that I will have mixed emotions for that as well. I think I am in the acceptance part of the grieving stage, and feel that I have survived. Having this website has been really special to me—to be able to vent in a safe space is invaluable.
still alive and surviving
3 years ago
I feel like I need to step back a minute and give myself some kudos for surviving, and I think for the most part surviving well. Some days are easier than others, and she’s hopefully moving out in a week. Trying to figure out what I need and how to get my life back on track, and cleansing myself right now is my MO.
