I havn't posted here in a while. For a reason, yes, but I still remember that there are folks here I may have been leaving behind. Even so, I would like to take some time and let folks know what I'm up to these days.
Life is honestly... better than I could have dreamed it would be years and years ago. I've gotten pretty deep into both a concept and community of Postfurry, which is a whole other post in its' own right. I spend my time after graduation struggling to find a job amidst gender transition. After way too long, I got a seasonal internship doing technical support for local schools. Which, as rewarding as working in education is.... Isn't what I went to school for. Over the course of my work, I made my plans to move to Seattle more and more solid. Finally, in October, I took a trip there and spend over a week with friends there, which was enough to sell me on the good and the bad of the area. As I write this, I am in Seattle now, where I live, and even saying that feels exciting and surreal (as surreal as postfurry gets). I have been living in a wonderful, furry communal house here for just over a week, and am still generally trucking along through the boring, "on hold forever" parts of the moving process.
Over the past year and so since I last posted, I also have been getting therapy and have gotten a long way in addressing my long untreated PTSD, as well as DID, Depression, anxiety, and ADD. It has been a difficult road, but despite all the hardships I've had... to think that I am healing, finally, and have achieved a dream I've had for so, so long is honestly immensely empowering. I am still deeply in love with Ark, and am currently with two other wonderful folks (polyamorous as fuck TBH).
In addition to being very polyamorous, my self-discovery didn't really stop at being trans. Even in the topic of gender, I have discovered and accepted that I am -very- much nonbinary, and fluid. I'm also extremely otherkin, which is something I very well could go on and on and on about, but won't. I've had a bit of a spiritual awakening both relatedly and unrelated to this, and still choose not to label it, though very self-driven and very neo-pagan-adjacent. It has been a wild year and so, but I finally feel like I'm on a track of full self-acceptance, however weird my qualia and experiences are. One Post can't rightly explain my sense of self to others anymore, and I am not exactly asking that others understand. I have a lot of folks around me who understand ^_^. I'm immensely happy, however, and it all has given me purpose and so much sense to my world. I feel like I am exactly where I'm meant to be, and exactly where I -want- to be.
Oh, gosh, I'm an otter now! Lutrineptunian, to be precise! or a Neptunian Otter! The details of that are complicated and unnecessary, honestly, but suffice to say I'm an alien, synthetic nanoprene (nano+neoprene) otter :)
I am still writing. a lot of my stuff can be found on my Weasyl (solskunk), or randomly posted bits of freewriting on twitter (@oneironott) or mastodon (@oneironott@awoo.space). I have a few pieces in the works, one of which is a liminal attempt at second-person hypnosis, which I find incredibly interesting. It's slow going, mostly because of my move, but I hope to have more things up in the future.
