fall is coming

Fall is coming soon, and I'm happy. I think this new transitional period is just what I need. This year has been weird, and kind of fucked up. It wouldn't even be worth trying to explain it all without grossly oversimplifying everything going on. I'd have to write a novel to explain everything that's happened over just the past 2 years properly. The TL;DR of it is, for those who are curious: My year started on the coattails of last years depression, as increasing family drama led to my mom deciding to finally divorce my step "dad" of 8 years, and ever since we've been looking for a new house while he lives at his parents. 

Y'know that feeling when you've wasted a lot of your day because you were waiting for something to happen that never did, and during that time you sort of just laid around doing nothing? I was so eager to get out of this house away from the farm I live on, and so adamant that it would happen within a few months that I basically wasted my year doing that. Well I'm done doing that, and I'm realizing that I actually like this house quite a lot! I'm living in it, free from that guy I've hated for the better part of 8 years, and things still aren't great for a lot of reasons, but I'm constantly seeing it all get better. It's been a while, but I can finally say I'm doing good.
