Hi! To all those who have been following my story for the last few years, here’s a quick update:
I got a different management position with American in Phoenix at the end of November.
Nick put a transfer request with Hyatt and finally heard back - he got the job!
He’s moving to Arizona next week. Our long distance journey will finally be over!
Thanks to all those who kept us in your thoughts and prayers. They’re much appreciated and now we are on the road to engagement and wedding planning!
YAY!

There are 4 things I learned when I was 25:
You do not have to be affectionate all the time to care for someone, in fact, caring can also mean a couple of texts or silence for a few days while you both live your lives happily and separately.
People do not care for you less when they’re busy with their own lives. It’s your reaction to them being their own person - and your ability to make yourself happy - that determines how they feel about you.
Not everyone reciprocates to your actions the same way. If you want someone to acknowledge, be interested in, or treat you a certain way for your efforts, all you have to do is let them know. They will try their personal best to accommodate that within their personal spectrum of feelings.
No one owes you 100% of them, not even after 30 years, because someone having a percentage of themselves is what keeps them sane at the end of the day and that’s okay.
These things are so important to learn.

I’ve honestly been working my ass off lately. I’ve done a few fun things, like try soup dumplings! But I’m doing my best to pay off a personal loan I took out a couple years ago to pay off high interest credit card debt. It’s been a tough few months, and I have not heard back from any of the jobs I’ve applied for in PHX so
I’ll just be over here in LA..working my life away.

i find it ironic that there are so many musicals about the poor and destitute, yet usually the only people who can afford to watch them are those who could never understand the sentiment
There is a PHD thesis in this comment

Guys, we spent 9 full days together for the first time since we started dating. It was amazing! I thought it would be a test, but we’ve been apart just 24 hours and I already miss him.
In 2013 he was an acquaintance at best, then we started talking and hanging out one on one, then were “friends” then fought over the fact he wouldn’t date me. Then a little while later, things picked back up again and he became my only friend because my entire group stopped speaking to me. Then things happened, people stabbed me in the back and lied but we found each other again.
We had to take time and grow up apart, but then fell back together. We always came back to each other.
Everything else seems so trivial now. He’s helped me in so many ways, he’s moved everything I own, held me while I cried and cried and couldn’t stop. He’s made me laugh more than any other human being and I can’t ever imagine life apart. Isn’t love crazy?!
I was unsure of him 4 years ago when we met, but we have fought through thick and thin for each other over the last 3 years.
I still can’t believe we made it. We’re finally together- even though we’re 2,500 miles apart. I can’t fully explain how thankful I am to have someone who knows and loves me so well. I’m truly blessed.

Things I never knew about depression until I finally had a doctor explain the disease to me

Depression can manifest as irrational anger.
My complete and total inability to keep anything clean or tidy for any amount of time is a symptom of my depression. I may never be able to do this. It’s important that I remember that and forgive myself when I clean something out (like my car) and it ends up trashed within a week.
Depression IS A DISABILITY. Requiring accommodations is okay.
Medications don’t make you better, they don’t cure your depression. They serve as an aid. Their purpose is to help you get to everyone else’s minimal level of functioning.
Depression can cycle through periods of inactivity. This doesn’t mean it’s gone away.
The reason I don’t feel like other people understand me is because … well … other people DON’T understand me. They can’t. They don’t have my disability.
Paranoia is par for the course.
Depression can and will interfere with your physical mobility. Forgive yourself when you can’t physically do something.
It’s entirely possible that I may never be able to live by myself. I can’t take care of myself. I need help to do it. And that’s okay.
As someone who suffers from depression and who experiences all these things as well I think this is important and needs to be reblogged.
Depression is a very difficult thing, not only for people who suffer from it, but for everyone who knows a depressed person. My family doesn’t know how to deal with it, my friends try their very best to support me and I have tried to pretend I was fine until I was in ninth grade.
Everything makes so much more sense
Depression is a disease of the brain. The brain is an organ. When organs are not functioning properly, you are advised to see a doctor and get help. So why is it so hard to understand that the brain can suffer as well, and that we need help for it?
The brain controls the body. A sick brain means a sick body.
….
Shit.
Don’t disregard it as just sadness. Depression is life threatening.
