FINALLY I can say this will be a positive blog entry! When was the last time you heard that from me? Too long ago. Anywho, things between Anthony and me are going well. We're both still settling into the distance thing, him especially. I think he's still a little shocked by the whole thing. It's already set in here, and I'm good with it. I have been doing so awesome with it all! I don't think I've ever handled it as well as I am now, and I am super proud of myself. I think a lot of it is maturity, experience and acceptance. It's only been 13 days since Anthony went back, but I feel like we've been doing this for months now because my routine is all set up. I don't hear from him that much right now, but I know he's still flustered and when he gets stressed or nervous, he pulls away. I got a beautiful, heart-felt text from him a few nights ago which has kept me going big time. I feel more confident than ever in our relationship. A lot of it has to do with my own personal progress. I have been struggling with getting my depression and anxiety under control for about a year now, and I finally feel like I am stable! My dosages feel right. I feel amazing! Like, I feel so much like myself again! I smile a lot now and the best part is it's a genuine smile!!! For a long time, it was fake. I can't remember the last time I had a "bad" day. School is going so well! I absolutely love all of my classes and my professors are great! It doesn't even feel like I'm going to school most days, because it's so much fun when I am there. I can't remember the last time I could even say that! Really, I think my life is turning around for the good. It's about damn time lol. I am hoping to visit Anthony in 23 days! I just emailed him a little while ago to catch up on things and I asked him if that weekend will work, so I guess I'll see. *crosses fingers* I would be road tripping instead of flying because the ride is so scenic, even if it is a 7 hour trip. Around this time of year, the fall foliage is absolutely gorgeous up there too, so I want to take that in too! That also means we have the freedom to drive around without having to bum rides off of his friends lol. I will be ecstatic if he says yes to that weekend!! I miss him tons, of course and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see him. That's that for now, so I am glad things are looking up for me.
