Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall.

At the beginning of quarantine, I was really depressed. I was drinking too much alcohol, eating too much junk food, and generally not in a good place. I realized I couldn’t continue like that so I started a plan to be healthier. As of today, I am down 11 pounds & am my lowest weight in years! It has been a slow weight loss but I am focusing on making sustainable lifestyle changes that I can keep up. I am so excited and proud!!

I met this guy online a month ago, we see each other once a week, and I find myself like him a lot, I feel more and more smitten with him (no sex at this point).

Can someone help me overcome the guilty feeling I have? 🥲
