I might as well update whats been going on with me, though I will not be going into so much detail, this is more for me to put down as a sort of marker of where I am and perhaps where I'll be in the future.

Life up to now has been... mixed. I have met great friends I care about dearly as well as someone I love enough to want to spend my life with. I have a career, that is promising, which may be able to facilitate achieving some of my dreams and at the very least keep me from poverty. But at the same time I am not well. My physical health has plummeted with Nerve Pain among other issues popping up and refusing to release its hold on me. And my mental health proves to be my own worst enemy, preventing me from making the steps that I want to make to improve things or just beating down on me. And stress, so much stress.

But all I can do is move forward, despite all that.

For my future I genuinely want to work on my writing and actually produce something instead of staring at blank pages. I dunno when or how I will achieve that, But its something I want to do. A dream of mine is to get a book published, but that at the moment feels like a far off fantasy. Additionally I want to be healthy, pain be gone and problems managed. And lastly, I want to build a future with my boyfriend, make him feel loved and cherished.

I may make a followup Journal, I may not. Again, the text here is more for me to look at, but here's to another 25 years, I wonder what kind of person Ping will be then.
