One of my friends is currently going through a hard situation in his life and is constantly busy, however they still try to make time to text and hang out with me because they miss me. They try to be positive and uplifting even though inside they feel like shit.
I get to speak with one of my best friends. I am happy to be thought of and missed.

Sunshine.
Sometimes it only takes the sun on my face to make me feel glad to be.

My friends were reassuring me on an exam that is stressing me out. Basically, I should try for myself but if I am going to end up retaking the class then I shouldn't let it dictate my mind, and they're so right. I just need to breath and go with the flow, and when its time to retake the class, I need to try a little harder.
I feel less stress and more focused on the remaining exams that I need to do.

Thanking myself for giving myself "permission" to do art instead of writing last night.
I have been putting creative pressure on myself with writing, and doing visual art was a great way to take away that pressure and create something that I'm proud of and that expresses a deep feeling in a way I'm proud of.

Glad to live in a full house with people I get along with well enough. Glad to have outside space with plants and light.
Having space, light, quiet and community in balance are important for my well-being.

We went back to Spectrum to change my phone. I initially got an iPhone but after the day I wanted to go back to Samsung. My mom drove me to get the phone changed and paid for the 50 dollars for changing it.
I was able to get all my data, have a phone that is familiar, and talk to one of my closest friends.

It felt so wonderful to go out into the sun and feel the warmth. Breezy, leaves blowing and a very fall day.
The sunshine!

She was an amazing friend and fed me at the library.
It eased my hunger when I studying.

My mom bought me a new phone, the iPhone 15 Pro, which is relatively expensive and a very modern phone right now.
I acquired a new phone without a cracked screen better camera, and no one will socially shame me for being a Samsung user anymore (not that I ever cared), but at least I can Facetime!

I bought a romance book after feeling very sad and uninspired by life and love.
It helped me remember the good in the world and that there’s more to life than the bad experiences I’ve had recently.

My mother bought me a sweater I’ve been wanting for a while
It helped me have a nice outfit for an important event and made me extremely happy. It also saved me money I used for groceries

My sister has been helping me through a really rough time and she's just been supporting me when I need it most.
I have been feeling pretty alone and down, so her being there for me has reminded me that I'm not alone and that I have people in my life who love and care about me.

Just grateful for the FAA (I guess those are people and I do mean the individuals, but also the agency and the laws) and all the air traffic controllers making the holiday flying travel safe out there. Feeling grateful my anxiety is kept at a minimum.
I was not anxious about the flights and the dangers inherent therein. This made it easier to relax on the planes even when they were packed and the small child behind me was banging the tray table at one point.

I studied organic chemistry with her
Confused because I need to study organic chemistry anyway.

I existed. My aunt felt like hearing my voice and she just wanted to unwind by talking to me today.
I felt loved that my aunt wanted to talk to me for a bit and that we joked around before I had to head back to work.

I gave handmade books to my colleagues/friends just as friendship gifts - not for the holidays.
I knew how much they loved the handmade books I had shown them in the past and really wanted to share with them.
