/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Abusive relationship that ended 3 years ago fucked me up good
>That and a few select negative friends with the "I don't like drama, but I cause too much of it" attitude that I've talked to at random times over the last 3 years have been a very bad influence on myself and my mental health
>Dealt with lots of harassment, unnecessary stress and lost motivation to attend cons anymore because of the fear of drama happening
>All of those people are finally out of my life and mutual weeby friends have reached out and let me know that they're proud of me and assured me that I did the right thing
>It's just my small tight friend circle now, and they've all forgiven me for my bad behavior over the years
>Cosplay and convention motivation and energy is renewed and I've never felt more happy and relieved

>Used to be in bad financial situation after a trip to Japan that put me in debt due to last minute bills that I couldn't pay at the time
>Little to no income for the last 6 months
>Sewing machine is broken
>Can't afford cons
>Can't even afford to pay the rent
>Feeling lonely and isolated because all friends are far away
>Finally sorted it all out recently and have a stable income again
>Debt will be paid off next month
>Visiting friends for my birthday in January, first private visit in ages since I've had to pick between the yearly convention and visiting friends for the last 5 years except for 2 incidents where I felt I could afford to hang out outside of cons
>Yearly convention in 2017 is almost sorted out too

And finally
>Received lots of clothes from Japan yesterday
>Including some high waisted pants in a size small
>Have fuck-huge hips, legs are pretty big as well due to never skipping leg day
>Been dieting a lot for the last few months
>Result is that the pants fit perfectly. As well as all other clothes in the package.
