Life Update

 Wtf bro.

I'm STILL stuck at a shitty job.

Not the same one from my last post, almost a year ago, but a different shitty job.

Where are the Universe's blessings!?

Okay wait, lemme pause.

There is much to be grateful for, don't get me wrong.

My wonderful, amazing partner of nearly two years, living in a cute lil apartment away from home (oh yeah, I MOVED!!!), having enough money to pay for groceries and make rent every month, health insurance (via my shitty job)...

Many parts of my life are really good. For the first time in a very long time.

Work is the only thing dragging me down.

It really sucks that we have to work to live. To simply exist!!

Not to share such a hot take, but damn I hate having to plan my own LIFE around work!

I can't go to the events I want to, I can't plan a spontaneous trip, I'm too exhausted most days to really go in depth with my hobbies... shit sucks.

My partner has a tough job as well that has him coming home late and exhausted. During the holidays we wouldn't see each other for days at a time, because if I had an early shift, I was in bed by 10, and he wouldn't get home for another two hours. Shit sucks.

But this particular post isn't all about my work life and how much Capitalism has me in a nasty bind. That's just one part of my life. A big, annoying, unenjoyable, soul sucking part though. Which is why I talk about it so much. And hey, I can talk as much as I want about it here, it's MY silly little blog. Thanks for hanging out though, love u.

Another exciting life update... I had a bisalp!

I want to write up another post going more in depth about my experience and recovery so far, but a bisalp (or bilateral salpingectomy) is a surgery that removes both fallopian tubes as a form of permanent sterilization for people who do not want children!

I love kids. Not a kid hater. Just don't want to be pregnant, give birth and raise one.

I'm truly amazed at people who have more than one kid on purpose. (Doesn't it hurt?! Aren't you tired?!) But I have mega respect for good parents. For parents trying their best. You're doing a great job.

But with that surgery, I am so happy and filled with relief that I can never get pregnant. And I am healing up very well! Thanks body! Love u. :)

Anyway, Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and...

Now what did you think I was gonna say. 🤨

It's my favorite holiday. Because I love love. And hearts. And pink. And that's that!

This will be me and my partner's second V-Day together and I can't wait to get dressed up and celebrate our love.

(Now lemme get on my soapbox real quick)

But you don't need a romantic partner to celebrate!! Come on now. I've always loved Valentine's Day, long before my boyfriend came along okay. I passed out valentines and flowers or candy to people on my college campus for years, because it made people smile. And I didn't want anyone to feel left out. "I'll be your valentine!"

So celebrate with your girlies, your friends, by yourself! Self love is important too.

Or if you're anti V-Day for your own personal reasons, that's real! Do your thing.

As for life updates I think that's it. I'll be back next week for a post talking about my bisalp.

Talk Soon. :)
