August 2025 achievements!

kaiikaii Posts: 643 Incredible Poster
Hey everyone! I hope you’ve been okay. I’m back again with the monthly achievement check-in! I’d really love to see what you’ve done this month that you’re proud of! It doesn’t matter how big or small these achivements are. And of course, feel free to write as many victories as you want! :3

Here are my achievements:
- I went on drawing dates with friends which got me to draw more this month!
- I turned a year older hahah
- I’ve been getting into crocheting and I’m really proud of what I’ve created! I’ve made a drawstring pouch, winter gloves, jellyfish, and 3D flower granny squares!
- I opened up to my friend about not feeling okay
- I acknowledged that I needed help so I referred myself to talking therapies — I was scared to do this and I’m really nervous to hear back from them, but I’m so glad I did it. I really hope I get the support that I need

As always, you’re all amazing for getting through the month! Hope you all have a great September <3

    I looked after a house and a dog for 4 days without burning the house down or overfeeding the dog (this is the real risk when said dog is a labrador)

    I redecorated my room, well my mum did the actual painting but I did the cleaning and tidying and we got it done in just over 2 days which is an achievement in itself

    I finally put my name on the social housing list in my area, I’ve been meaning to do it for 6 months

    And last night I helped to prep a meal for 9 people!!! I’ve never cooked for more than 5 before so it certainly was an experience.

    So I didn't do much this August but here are mine:

    - continuing to volunteer at my local charity shop and becoming more confident with sorting through clothing and stuff.

    - Did travel training prep with my job coach who will be my support when I do my internship as of September the 1st.

    - continued to attend my crafting group with my neurodiverse friends

    Not really an achievement but this Saturday I'm going to my friends wedding <3

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
