I woke up at my friend’s apartment in the morning and I got my stuff together and I went to Lynn to play Handball. It was a good morning playing handball with a few friends. I stopped and had a burrito at Tacos Lupita’s and then I drove back to my friend’s apartment. I spent the afternoon there. I took a nap. I tried to quit vaping but by 6:00 p.m. the craving was overpowering. My friend is struggling with an amphetamine addiction. He plans on taking a couple months to overcome this addiction. I stayed at the apartment and watched Happy. I received a call from a person that offered me the job at the addiction medicine company with another opportunity for part-time work which I’ll look into in a couple weeks. My opportunities are endless.
My mother mentioned yesterday that she had a dream that I got back together with my ex-girlfriend. My mother hates my ex-girlfriend, because of the way she treats me. My mother said that she doesn’t want me with somebody that talks to me in such a cruel and abusive manner. My mother is right and I don’t treat people like that, I don’t deserve to be treated that way. I’ve stayed strong, and I have not gone back to her or tried to initiate reconciliation. I’m nervous about my new life. I have the perfect room, a good job, and I’m ready to get comfortable again. I can gain all the things that bring me satisfaction. I still have a good amount of money saved. This year has been a sacrifice but it has also been an opportunity for me to grow, sharpen my skills, learn about homelessness, and learn about myself.
