Week 4: Things For Me

This week I found myself doing things I like to do. I just finished my scarf, and I had a delicious salad. It feels good the pamper myself and do things that lets me unwind some. I have been feeling stressed lately about finances and life so to be able to cut through the chaos for just a few moments was nice.

My boyfriend and I had a discussion about me being “spoiled” by him and my family. I told him I want to be able to buy myself stuff not just the necessities. Food, house, stuff for the dog. You know, the day to day. I work too hard for all my pennies to go to food, shelter and bills. I know it’s the American way but still. A girl is tired.

I think I will dedicate a day next week to just play video games. I feel like my time is spent taking care of everyone and everything but me. I know that’s just a feeling because my boyfriend does help me more around the house and he does a lot of things behind the scenes. I do get surprises which is why he gets perplexed when I talk like I’m not happy. I am a lot happier now then a few months ago.

One day at a time. You guys be safe out there,

Ashley
