Since talking to Dusty about his grievances within our

relationship, I have tried to put more of a personal emphasis on

being more respectful to my partner. We live our lives in such close proximity to each other, that he has become an

extension of myself, and in times when I don’t have respect

for myself, or a positive self image, Dusty has become

subject to the same circumstances. At the same

time however, he would never subject me to his own bad

mood, a quality I have often commented on admiring. It’s

always hard to confront our own double standards, but I am

grateful for the opportunity to rectify them.

My Attitude

My moods have been so erratic lately. I’ll feel motivated, and then, before I know it, I’m laying in bed again. My attitude has been like that too, I’ll feel alright, and then I start to feel bored, then I become irritated because I’m bored, and then I’m angry that I’m irritated… My mom thinks I need a hobby.

Go away I don’t feel like coming out

today

Let’s go outside and

play

A big component of happiness is peace . I have always had a nervous rest lessness that at t imes is incapacitating, but learning how to spot this feel ing, and prevent its onset has been helpful in my obtaining happiness . Over the past month I have found that gardening, playing with my dog,planning ahead and exerc ising can be helpful in preventing my anxiety.

What I learned…

To be gra te fu l , take the time to bask in the joy of really l i v ing, love like everyday is my last day
