It's Been a While
a year ago
since I could hold my head up high.
Staind joke aside, it has been far too long since I posted any sort of update. Last journal was nearly...a year ago at this point holy shit. I was going through a bit of a tough time then, having got out of a shitty job run by your typical brand of asshole. But you didn't come here to hear me rant, so I'll leave it at that. Since then, I've gotten a better job that pays more and the staff there is much better, especially the higher ups. Had my first sick day recently, more on that in a bit, but when I came back and my voice was gravely everyone was wishing me well and expressing genuine concern. As opposed to the previous one where I was working sick and got criticism for my slowed pace.
Now for that illness. Started as a sore throat Saturday, Sunday it got worse but was still just the throat, then I wake up Monday and my nose is dripping, my head is cloudy, and my voice was gone. Fun stuff. Dunno what it was exactly, saw a doctor who said it might have been a sinus infection made worse by allergies (evidently the last two weeks of Sep and first two weeks of Oct are the worst for some kinda weed around my area. Didn't know that.) So I'm dealing with that atm which is always annoying, but it's been ages since I was last sick so I'm hoping this'll be it for a while as well.
Onto the work load. So ever since I posted that poem, I've been struggling big time trying to get anything done writing-wise. I would write a few sentences, then just lose interest and move on to something else. It wasn't until recently that I felt some kind of inspiration again that genuinely drove me to write. But it feels nice. I've got some ideas I wanna work on and I actually started and finished a story again. In the intermediary I only finished things that I'd already worked on. I also wrote another story that's kind've different from what I normally write, more vore than squashing, but I'll post it anyway. A lot of the reason I haven't posted in a while is because I get in my own head a lot of the time. What I mean by that is I'll make something, but then worry so much about reception and if people will like it, that I just sort of psyche myself out of posting altogether. Anxiety sure is fun...
So moving forward, I know I say this all the time, but I'll try and post more consistent updates. I've got something I wanna do for Halloween both art and story-wise, so I'll try my best to get those done on time. I'll also start posting those stories that I mentioned, so apologies for the rapid posting in advance. Thanks for your time and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
