Independence feels amazing

I was worried they once I moved to housing it wouldn't be as exciting and wonderful as I though it would be... And do you know what?? Being in independent housing is really as great as I had hoped!! Making my own meal plans is fantastic, living without staff support is such a relief!! I finally feel like an adult. Freedom is as sweet as I'd hoped. I am celebrating my independence!!

I was able to get up this morning, make my coffee without having to hassle staff for soy milk and sweetener. I am going to make my breakfast (waffles, eggs, and fruit) in a little while and sit and enjoy my food! Nobody treating me like an incapable child. Such a relief.

Today I see my therapist. She always makes me cry. I had a really tough family session with her yesterday (our usual family therapist is on maternity leave) and I ended up sobbing for 20 minutes. I never wear make up when I see this therapist because I'm sure to break down. No make up.

I'm excited for another day of freedom. Life is a wonderful thing. I am glad to be alive today.
