have more fun
So this is my life... 2 years ago

For the last two years, life’s been anything BUT fun. Finally it got so awful I had to see someone and yes, since my mom will never see this, I can admit… I started on an antidepressant.

Who knew how good I could feel? How my skin wouldn’t feel so thin, the slightest things wouldn’t bring me to tears, I could stop resenting my life and start enjoying it!!! T and I are having the happiest most peaceful stage of our marriage in 12 long years. We laugh, we hold hands, we make plans. We have hobbies and we’re fixing up our house.

So this is my life? Glorious.
