Things are going great.

Channel up to nearly 200 subscribers. I did an info-vid and that really took off more than expected. Going to do more of those as people seem to like it. I won’t go into too much detail for fear of identifying me. One good outcome is someone has been in touch about possibly commissioning something from me off the back of my latest video, so things are looking up on that front too.

Exercise is progressing too. Finding it easier to get more protein in my diet now. Feel so much better and not snacking anymore.

One query I had is when lockdown restrictions are lifted, I think there’ll be certain people I come into contact with. What would be the best response to either of these types of people, just in case I bump not them in the near future?

1. Mutual friends of XW and I. Neutral, just express that they’re sad we split up, not taking sides.

2. Those who were closer to XW who might take a shot at me or a snide, passive aggression comment (‘Well you should’ve thought of that before you did [x]’). Less likely to one across them compared to those above admittedly, but I’m mindful of wanting to be able to respond with something that says I owned my issues, sorted them out, and am doing great. Is there anything better to say?

My sister is moving house so were gearing up to help move stuff later this month (I have a bigger car!).

Doing a big savings drive and it’s great watching my future house deposit build up. Really looking after my money and enjoying researching all the options.

Still finding time to chill, go for walks (just round the block for now of course), discover new music.
