it gets better

My partner of six years broke up with me right before lockdown. Luckily I was still able to kick him out of my apartment so I could be completely miserable and alone. In order to keep some of my sanity I decided to try exercising once a week and very slowly improve my diet. Really tiny baby steps that carried me through the grief and sadness. Fast forward 5 months and I went to see him for whatever stupid reason that my mind conjured up. He hadn't shaved, his eyes looked tired. Today I look in the mirror and she smiles back at me with confidence. Hang in there y'all it does get better.
