The Distraction Survey in Diary of a Useless Lesbian

sometimes we just need a distraction from things and from life and from our own brains honestly. So I found this from someone on here - I can’t remember their name but I will find it and link it at a later date when I do find it because it is an incredible exercise for someone like me who just needs their own brain to shut up from time to time.

What was your usual morning routine before the pandemic? Has that changed?

my usual morning routine before the pandemic was getting up and getting my son and I ready for school and work and now it is getting up late - maybe getting ready for the day. Maybe going out to the shop or for a walk. I look for a new job and he plays xbox games or goes out to play with his friend. Or we hang out and play a game or watch tv or play in his room.

Who was the first person you fell in love with? Do you still talk to that person?

I remember the first person I felt those feelings for and it was a guy which is confusing for me as a gay woman but I fell in love with the person. I’m not even sure if I could go as far as to say I was in love because I was only 13/14 with this guy so I probably didn’t really know what that was.
I feel like I didn’t know real love and being in love till I met my current gf she is well and truly the love of my life - I have never felt this connection and happiness with anyone else. She is my one and my soulmate.
