  • Getting the March Ipsy bag
  • Getting the water bottle and backpack bundle I ordered from another favorite family YouTube channel
  • Seeing Black Panther in theaters
  • Seeing A Wrinkle in Time in theaters, with co-workers
  • Getting the St. Patrick's Day themed mug, and Easter egg from a favorite family YouTube channel
  • Getting the clothing I ordered from Madison & Mallory

Overall, this was a pretty good month for me.

I am looking forward to seeing what April, and beyond, has in store for me!!

My Greatest Comforts

I am a painfully shy person, so there are things that bring me a lot of comfort, helping to get through each day.

These things help me connect to people, whom I otherwise wouldn't have the courage to talk to.

Or, they just help me relax after dealing with people.
  • My favorite book(s)
  • A journal and some pens
  • My phone (the games, radio, and texting options it has on it)
  • Hats that have brims that are wide/long enough to cover my eyes
  • Baking
  • Card, board, and video games
  • My cats
  • Walking in a park
  • My favorite YouTubers
  • Photography
  • My favorite movies
  • My favorite music
  • Hoodies (during cold weather, of course)
  • Being in my bedroom
