can’t decide if I want to remove her, she probably could use a good cleaning 🥲

I love how soft her face looks 💜

new store soft opened in my city! a cutie little haul, will definitely be back :)

cat sticker says “rolling fatties” 😭😭😭

she was heavy (probably the $10 in quarters my boyfriend needed for the car wash 🫩)

& admittedly, it was probably time for a clean out! what do you spy? 🧐

Admittedly, I have dated some real dirt bags (haven’t we all 🫩). After my last relationship (a horrible bf who stole $7000+ from me, falsely imprisoned me, lied, cheated, etc), I was single for nearly 10 years. I think I needed that time to find myself again and also get down to the barebones of what I wanted (and absolutely did not want) in a relationship.

Around November of last year I started dating my boyfriend, a guy I’ve known (& again admittedly) liked/cared for, for a while. He is GREAT. Genuinely the best guy I’ve ever dated. So thoughtful, caring, funny, sweet, & with the context of the last dirt bag, VERY successful. (Money has never really mattered to me, but it’s nice to be treated in that way.)

ANYWAY, I often times catch myself being bitchy to him. Having an attitude or misdirecting my anger and frustration about things… or even, falling back into the old patterns of mistrust. He’s never given me any reason to distrust him and hell, he never even really calls me out for being an asshole most of the time. Usually I catch myself in those moments and try to regroup and apologize, when necessary. I ask myself, am I jaded? How can I stop this behavior? He doesn’t deserve it.

I’m currently dog/cat sitting for him while he’s on a trip and being here made me realize how much I love and care about him. Every day I try to be more self aware about the things that trigger me and communicate that… because I think for the first time ever I’ve actually found a wonderful man.
