Update: Look Behind You!
2 years ago
No. I'm not behind you. I just, you know, think you should be aware of your surroundings. Is there a loved one behind you? Tell them you love them! Is there a wall behind you? Admire the texture (or lack thereof) and the paint! Is there an ominous, creeping darkness slowly encroaching, and within that darkness is an even darker, almost humanoid form walking toward you? That's likely just Fred. Don't pay him any mind. Fred's weird like that.
I finished NaNoWriMo with flying colors! Got about 70k words into it without taking my main characters into the next scene. I mean, I knew the rough draft would be large, but I didn't expect it to feel so... bloated. So... Yeah, I abandoned that draft. I'm going to restart the draft and rework a few things. Bring a few of my characters back into where I wanted them originally. I kind of went a little left field with a couple of them, tried a few things out. Hey, I didn't know if the changes would work, so I had to give 'em a try, y'know? But for now, back to the world. Back to Reya, and Kirvas, and Kasya. Back to the Oathlands.
I'm still working on trying my hand at artwork. I don't have anything to share yet. I think it's going to take me a while before I'm comfortable sharing my artwork with others. I have a few hang ups about sharing my works. But I definitely will share with you folks when the moment is right. I'll get there 🙂
These past few months have been a bit trying as I struggled with my mental health issues. I'm still coming to terms that I'm not alone in my head. I'm still not totally convinced that I have DID, but I do have a large number of disassociative episodes that can't be explained otherwise. Along with rampant anxiety, depression, OCD, and CPTSD... man, my doc has her work cut out for her! Working on and managing these things are really, really difficult. But overcoming and learning how to live with them is worth the effort.
Physically I'm doing same ol' same ol'. Maybe a touch better than that. The day is still filled with medication and scheduled movement sessions and planning and eating meals that are bland and uninteresting. Glad I don't have Instagram, to be honest. Sharing pictures of your food is a requirement on that site, and no one wants to see repeat bowls of porridge and oats and drinks made of pureed things that ought not to be pureed. On the plus side, I'm finally losing weight! So hey, there's a little lighter side to things (Lighter? Losing weight? Get it?? I'm hilarious).
I'm going to upload some adopts and OCs related to my stories. I hope you enjoy them and love them as much as I do.
Gonna sign off here. I hope all of you are doing just absolutely fantastic. Seriously. No matter where you are and what you're doing, I sincerely hope you and yours are healthy, happy, and safe. You folks are most awesome 🤗

I don't know the full story of how you came to be where you are in life, but from my own experience working on mental health things is difficult and it always feels unfair having to try harder just to get by in ways others can do without concern. However, you're absolutely right it's worth the effort. Good luck with all that you are striving to achieve!
Looking forward to seeing your uploads. You have a sense of aesthetic that I (and I'm sure many, many others) also enjoy.
