Hey, back with a few thoughts!

First: this cover is AMAZING and I am so fucking pumped for BVB and Ville Valo to perform shows together!

So I have vague ideas for multiple playlists but, as I have time, right now I'm gonna focus on a Darkling/Alina playlist. Who knows how long this will take! But I'm loving two songs for them so far. Waiting for the right mood to compile more songs.

I'm also trying to establish new routines? Especially for the mornings. I'm very bad at forming new habits consciously that are not of strict MUST complete urgency, so wish me luck! I want to do short spurts of organizing, bullet journaling, crafting, and studying Spanish/Japanese/Chinese before or after work, whenever the energy is strongest.

How have y'all been lately?

Hello! I hope you all are having a good time in 2023 so far.

Brief version of my life these past few weeks:

1. I got covid over Christmas (maybe from eating unmasked at work? maybe from grocery store despite masking? who knows). I am mostly recovered, just a slight cough that comes and goes and the tiniest congestion in my lungs i’m keeping tabs on.

2. My depression has, uh, reached new lows. I’m okay but struggling to adapt.

3. My sister’s depression is nearly at crisis level. We’re researching OCD-specialist therapists now her insurance kicks in but there’s only so many spoons both of us have. We got a plan just will take a bit of time.

4. I am probably going to quit my part time weekend job after I earn enough to pay off my upcoming travel to San Jose & Colorado Springs. I wanted to last there six months and save up but 60 hours a week (except when I called out to rest from covid) is just too much.

5. I’m feeling SO creative lately but i’m literally too tired to do shit lmao all I do is work and sleep and listen to audiobooks.

Hi! It's been a while. I keep meaning to get back into using Dreamwidth, and I just never do.

I'm going to try to change that.

How are y'all doing? I go back and forth between mostly okay and sorta okay, and I'm working on being more resilient. Slowly coming up with new coping mechanisms since none of my old ones work anymore.

Lately, little things have been jumping out to me to appreciate and really just, revel in, I guess. Calls or watch-alongs with friends, grabbing a book you've been meaning to read for forever, thinking about how teen you would have been amazed at how you are getting through life now.

So yeah. Life isn't easy, but my appreciation for everything is rising every day.

Hello, everyone! I've been distracted by new technology, crafting, disturbing plotbunnies, and work stress. I'm sorry I'm behind, will catch up on your posts later. Just going to leave this picture of a necklace I made from bits of old jewelry, taken with my new iPhone.



Also, if you could send prayers/good vibes my way, I'd appreciate it. Being a supervisor isn't getting any easier for me even though it's been 1 1/2 years, and I'm considering stepping down in three months or so in the hope my mood and muse will improve.
