Because I'm extremely vain

Cranking out these "What I Wore" posts like it's no one's business. But it's FUN. So I don't care. I should probably post other things too. Like you know... what I've been doing for the last month. But that's boring. But probably because it's my day to day life and no one really knows unless I email with them. Who knows.

Anyway, I went on a date tonight.

And it was actually okay. Like, I knew what to talk about and I wasn't stumbling over my words like I usually would in a situation like that.

Basically... it wasn't a struggle bus scenario, and I'm happy about that.

Also I looked really hot. Again, that's confidence and not me being cocky. Although I do admit that I can be vain sometimes. Idk. But I love what I wore.

I went out with a guy who is friends with one of my friends, who happens to be living at my house with my OTHER friend while I'm gone. She talks about him a lot and suggested we hang out on a day or night that I'm home, and tonight lined up well, since apparently we were both free. But it was fun. We went out to a restaurant that I've been to only once before (ironically I was there the first time on a date as well) and we enjoyed ourselves.

But by no means do I like him or anything. He's okay, but he's not really the type I'd go for. Even though he is a dog person. It was honestly one of the first things I asked him. Dog people are so important to me because cat people are not my people.

Here's what I wore.

Basically I looked like a million bucks and I felt like a million bucks. It was the first time in a very long time that I got to dress up and actually feel good about myself. You know... body wise, if that makes sense to people who may not know things about me. Honestly... I felt hot. I felt really freaking good about myself and I'm so flipping happy because of that. I've clawed and fought my way to where I am now and I'm so glad that this is the result.

I'm glad that I can wear things and actually feel 100% okay with myself. And no, I'm not where I want to be (goal wise), but I'm getting there. Self love is definitely NOT just something that happens overnight. It's going on THREE YEARS to get here. And yes, it's taken others a lot longer. And others a shorter time frame. Everyone is different. And that's why I try my hardest to not compare myself to others. No person's recovery is the same. My recovery and my friend Brittany's* recovery is not the same.

Anyway, the bottom line is is that I looked hot tonight and self love is a great thing.
