Hello friends. Perhaps you remember me from my rant about a month ago. I bring news, both good and bad.

I have always been a bad news person first, but the good news provides context, so here it is. I started dating my partner, B (not gonna type out full name for safety). B is non-binary, uses they/them, and we met at my side job at Big Coffee Shop. They where my shift manager and had a crush on me for the whole time I worked there, and they confessed their feelings and now we are happy and in love.

So there is the good news, very wholesome. It does come with bad news tho, but nothing crazy. I have to leave them and we have to start long distance. I have to get a job back home with family, cause the jobs where we both live now are government jobs, and i don't wanna go through that again. I am almost out of the toxic helldump that is the military, don't wanna dive headfirst back in.

But this is workable my friends. We have already planned and talked about what we are gonna do, and how long its gonna last. Hope is on the horizon.

The stress of the situation is getting to me a bit, but they are very supportive and caring, and I love them very much. So we are gonna work on it together to make our dreams come true.

Thanks all for the comments on my last post. They were very helpful and nice to read. This is a very nice welcoming community that doesn't "bootstrap" my problems.
