how are you *really* doing?

[RussianRoulette]

I feel like I’m both good and bad at the same time? My life is a hot mess right now, I’ve barely slept for weeks, and I’m very stressed, but I’m trying really hard to turn my life around and I’m finally seeing progress?

I find out tomorrow if I’m officially getting a promotion at work which would come with a good pay raise, and with that pay raise I’m saving up to hopefully move abroad sometime next year

I’ve also been trying to up my self-care game to manage stress and as you said: capitalism can’t fix everything but I feel like the first step to not being a hot mess anymore is to no longer look like a hot mess. Fake it till you make it I guess?
