♪♫ Farewell to Nova Scotia - Aselin Debison
I'm back! The last while has been really rough and I'm not doing well at all. I'll get to that in a bit, but first I'll talk about what has happened since my last blog, starting with my break up; we are still broken up. There isn't really any news on this, except that I'm feeling better about it, but still grieving the loss. The quarantine is making things a lot harder. I think it will take me a lot longer to get over it...
The day after my last blog, I celebrated Easter with my roommates. They insisted on making the dinner themselves, so I just made the stuffing. It was delicious! I also had a little chocolate bunny for dessert. I do wish that I could have celebrated with family though.
Pretty much everything that I ordered from my last blog has arrived! Everything is perfect, but my favorite thing is the color changing lamp/bluetooth speaker. Its so much fun to watch! Speaking of ordering... I ordered more stuff online since my last blog; a quilt set, flannel sheets, a fleece blanket, two pillows, two Rupi Kaur poetry books, the complete collection of Robert Frost's poetry, a book of poetry by Atticus, The Great War on DVD and an East Coast Strong shirt.
All the proceeds from the shirt go to the families of the victims from the mass shooting that occurred in my home province (Nova Scotia) this past weekend. We never experience violence like this, so it has been really hard on everyone. You may or may not have heard the full story, but the shooter had a replica police car and uniform, which he used to senselessly murder 22 innocent people over the span of 12 hours. He was shot dead by police at the very end. He was headed for where I live when the police caught up to him.
On a happier note; I got some new plants! Most of them are fake, haha. I went to the dollar store for some essential stuff, so I also bought some fake plants and a notebook to cheer myself up. I bought myself a real plant when I went to the grocery store; a cute little cactus that I've named Frank. I also wrote up a daily self care list to help keep me in a routine/keep me healthy. I'm going to update it in a few days to include some more stuff, but I think its been really helpful so far! I hope it makes a difference.
Also here is a recent selfie that I took. I've started doing winged eyeliner again just to make myself feel a little prettier. I definitely need a haircut though (my bangs are long & you can't see the rest of my hair... but its halfway down my back now), haha...
Another happy thing that happened lately; I noticed that Terry O'Quinn, who is one of my favorite actors, got a Cameo account. Cameo is a essentially a site where celebrities will send you a personalized video in exchange for you donating to charity. As soon as I seen it, I knew I had to do it! Terry played John Locke (my favorite character) on my favorite show Lost and I was supposed to go to a Lost con next month in Hawaii. I felt like even though this doesn't fully make up for it, it would be a nice way to have something Lost-themed that would make me feel a little better about missing my trip. He sent me my video today and it made my entire week! Anytime I ever feel sad for the rest of my life, I'm going to watch this video. ♥️
That's all for now. I hope everyone is well! I will try to return comments asap!

I am sorry to hear you've had such a rough time and are not doing to well. I am sorry to hear about your breakup as well. I can say from the experiences I've had with breakups that the first few weeks and and even months after are rough, but things get better as time goes by. It's even harder with everything going on over the last few weeks here, but if you even need to talk I am a willing ear. Keep yourself as busy as possible, hard to do in a quarentine I know. I love the video that Terry O'Quinn sent you, what a neat idea! I was looking at the eastcoast strong t-shirt I think I am going to get one. I've been doing a lot of online shopping too, too much really.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your break up! They always suck but as time goes on you will heal and find someone even better. Stay strong girl and if you need to chat i'm here. I find that with me being at home I am constantly purchasing stuff online I think everyone is lol . Brandi at truerootstudio.com/journal
