I have to say that the song “Pieces” by Rob Thomas is so fitting for anyone that suffers from anxiety, depression or anything else like that. It has been on repeat with me the last several days. I am going post it below if you are interested in listening to it!

On the Joe front I never added that in that really long talk that we had last Wednesday he also opened up a lot. He repeated the things he has said about wanting a future together. We talked about our feelings on marriage…he said he doesn’t want to rush it and wants to do it all the right way but he does want us to go on that path, I agreed. We both talked about our love for each other, etc. It was a nice and refreshing conversation. I am still trying to collect myself from the secret he shared but I know that is going to take some time and I’m not yet ready to talk to him about how I am feeling on that subject…he’s being patient and not pushing it, thankfully, because right now I just want to calm my fears. This weekend we spent our usual time together…it was nice and relaxing. My wall is a bit up with everything right now and I think he can sense it because he has told me he loves me quite a few times during our chats and he has also started telling me “that’s one reason I love you” when things come up…it’s really heartwarming. Oddly, Cruella is still on radio silence so we don’t know how or when that shoe is going to drop…in the meantime I am just bracing myself for anything.

Anyhow, I’m going to go play Ark for awhile then head to bed!
