Update...maybe a milestone?

So, I have made 2 posts on here before under different accounts (i don't remember why i deleted them tbh), and those accounts were called "Comrade Caroline" and "Just Corey" (I do not use Caroline anymore I go by Corey) and I think one was in need a hug and the other was in women supporting women. I made those posts when I was 15, and this May i turned 17. Although I still have issues with depression especially, I have gotten better in some ways. One, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore. Like at all. I haven't in over a year. Also, I don't drink as much as I used to. I drink like maybe every few months, which I know is still bad, but an improvement nonetheless. I'll see alcohol in the fridge and be able to ignore it the majority of the time. I am also going to get a therapist soon. I have a boyfriend who I actually love and feel genuinely happy around. He's gonna be flying out to the US this spring to visit me. My grades have improved, and I actually have enough credits to graduate this December if I wanted to. As for affordability, I have an advisor now from this scholarship program that's gonna help me navigate college applications, accessibility regarding higher education, etc. Might also be getting a job soon. One thing that feels good, but also unusual, is actually being proud of myself. Like, typing this out has made me realize how much I worked my ass off to be where I am now. I still have shit I need to work on, but yeah.
