i havent updated my FA, weasyl or dA journals since i was going through that very hard time. and while times are still trying for me, theyre better than they were then.

first up: one year ago today, the 17th, i moved out of my parents house, 250 miles to the city of Manchester! its been crazy, and hard, but ive enjoyed my freedom♡

secondly, this is old news to some, but a month ago WE MOVED OUT OF OUR OLD HOUSE FINALLYYY♡ me and my partner finally got a flat of our own! no more stressful housemates, no more unclean surfaces and horrible smells, it's upwards from here ^.^ we also adopted a stray cat from the street next to us! his name is Clawhauser, after the cheetah from Zootopia, and we love him very much! we have a little family here :'3

also, i now volunteer at the RSPCA cattery in Sale one day a week, as a cat cuddler and socialiser ^.^ it's amazing, i get to cuddle and play with the cats and get them used to human interaction! it's doing wonders for my stress levels and gives me something to look forward to each week.

finally, the addressing of how my mental health is doing. im not sure if the condition is better or worse, it's certainly nicer now we have our own place but the outbursts and motivation havent much changed. ive got back into art a little bit, doing a simple YCH and a lot of traditional sketching, but i kept putting off going to the doctors for my mental health. i am going very soon, i do not want to put it off any longer as it may get worse if i leave it. i dont want meds, just someone i dont know to talk to about everything, irl, basically. i'll be ok.

that's all for now, probably wont post another journal for a while!
