Sometimes I wonder if I should have gone ahead and called CPS. I hope I made the right decision. I think I did.

Yummy Christmas present
Look what hyjinx made for me!!!
Isn’t it cute?! I’m going to frame it and put it up by my computer niche! When I opened it I got a huge fit of the giggles because it was so cute and funny. 
I believe in second chances
And third chances and fourth chances.
This comes up because someone that I have had more than one wrangle with in the past (sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly), just told me I was a treasure. My response was “I didn’t used to be, but I got better.” I was thinking in particular of all the mad dramaz that happened around DP and certain systems a couple of years ago (has it really been that long? wow). I know I behaved badly in a lot of ways and I’m not proud of it. I am, however, proud that I managed to step away and stay far from drama of that type ever since. I learned, I think, how who you associate with can affect you, and how to choose more wisely. Things have been good since then. The depression is gone, I’ve gotten multiple bonuses and raises at work, I’m about to finish my second master’s degree, and I have a small but incredibly wonderful group of friends. It’s been a very productive two years, and I think in part it’s because I grew up a lot.
I am really really pleased with my life just now.
And I’m very grateful that so many good people gave me the second and third and fourth chances I needed.
