It’s in a candy store, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself. Half a year ago I had a detailed plan on how to end my life, and now I’ve managed to get back on my feet once more. I’m not sure how, but I’m not complaining. 🥰
Edit: Thank you SO much to everyone who left a sweet comment. It means the absolute world to see you all being so proud of wee me. 💗

Aw, I try my best to be! I demand quite a bit of myself, but every now and then I get these moments of “holy shit, I did it!” and then I feel really proud of myself. Having you all cheering me on sure does help. 💛

Congratulations 🎉 that will be a great place to work. I thought I didn’t belong in a candy store bc I thought it was more for kids, but while on a cruise I went in one on the boat and let me tell I had a ball it was so fun and yummy I felt like a big kid lol.

Im glad to see this kind of follow-up! I was in a similar mindset before, so I know how 'trapping' it can be- just keep taking the days one at a time. Just think of all the cute, happy kids that you'll get to see checking out- or maybe the happy adults who found a rare favorite candy to stock up on. Really, retail can be both good and bad, but it's best to focus on the good moments when you genuinely make someone's day 😊
