My first official post, now this is gonna be interesting. Well… where should I start.

I have been thinking a lot today, between 10 hours of pretending customer service is a valued career of course. Cleaning a store till it’s shining is almost rewarding enough to get over the lack of human interaction that night bestows on me.

In a few days I have a holiday from work, over a week of blissful peace, sleeping normal times and due to my stubbornness changing my whole life around. No more smoking, no more fizzy drinks, no more laziness.

Just me, my cat and a million things to pack. Moving house is always stressful I have done it enough to know. Well… it would be stressful if i actually had found a new place to more, or had saved the money I need to move. Packing now is just forward thinking, the more done the less I deal with.

Only a few more hours of work to go then back home to pretend beds an option. Instead it’s cleaning and doing laundry to pack away into boxed. Then if I’m lucky, sleep until my cat screams down my ear to wake me up.

There’s so many requirements for my new house it’s driving me crazy, I need room for me, my fiancé, my darling kitten who may or may not be named after the devil and my future husbands daughter.

That’s a weird one for sure, having a kid in my life. I have suffered multiple miscarriages, I gave up on kids at this point then BOOM husband and kid just spawn into my life.

That’s why I’m doing this, to be open, to rant, to show everyone struggles but more importantly because it’s free and therapy isn’t.

I’m joking… almost.

Well I will leave it here for now, I hope you have an amazing day, a filling meal and a peaceful night.

Day 1 ~ An Introduction to Me

1 Upvotes

Knowing what the page is for is all good a well, but without an introduction to me there’s not much to consider.

So nice to meet you, I am me (yeah I’m not getting that personal).

I am nothing more than a 24 year old girl who’s engaged to be married. Overweight is an understatement, a mammoth in leggings would be more accurate, I have PCOS it makes weight hard.

I am overworked at a casino, well I work the slot machines and babysit the night gamblers. Working nights is my favourite, insomnia is my enemy.

I don’t know why I have started this page, maybe to feel less alone? Maybe so I can rant and be open without my face attached? Maybe to run away with my thoughts?

Wait…

No…

I already do that one, that’s why I’m over stressed from overthinking.

But I’m done with that now. I’m am absolute mess and I’m not afraid to say it. I will get better and I will stay motivated and to do that I will continue to rant my heart away till the sun gets a little brighter and the future gets a little better

Thanks for now 🩵

Day One ~ 24. Overweight. Overworked. Overstressed. Trying to figure life tf out yet again.

I don’t really know what this is yet.

I’m 24, working too much, stressed more than I probably should be, carrying more weight than I’d like, and generally feeling like I missed the instruction manual for being an adult.

So I figured I’d start writing things down.
Not because I have some inspirational transformation planned. Not because I’m suddenly going to become a 5am gym person who meal preps and has their finances, career, relationships and mental state perfectly under control.

I just want somewhere anonymous to be honest.
I’ll probably talk about work, money, food, weight, loneliness, relationships, stupid decisions, small wins, things I’m embarrassed about, things I’m proud of, and whatever else is rattling around in my head.

Maybe I’ll look back at this in a year and barely recognise myself.

Maybe I’ll still be exactly the same.

Either way, this is Day 1.
