Better Late Than Never...

So I gave a talk at the EDA group at the CFC tonight...I'd totally blanked on agreeing to do it and ended up not at all prepared.

I rambled on for a bit about recovery, where I'd been, where I've gotten to...and, about 10 minutes after I left, I found the words that I'd meant to say.

I talked about how life was easier, fabulous, etc. In actuality though, it's not necessarily easier or more fabulous - rather just different. Instead of worrying about weight, calories, secrets, etc., I'm finally worrying about normal 21 year old stuff.

I focus on:
  • school stress
  • why that one boy didn't call
  • how to make more money
  • when to take the GRE and how to study
  • which restaurant or club to go to
  • pros and cons of roommates

I'm in a place where my stressors and hardships are normal...relatable...and dealable. After being through the hell I have, I know that pretty much anything is manageable - as shitty as it might feel at the time.

I guess you could say I'm grateful for my worries in a weird, twisted way.

...Never thought I'd say that though...hah.
