my thoughts and … thoughts

Fan art is so much fun to root through, partly because that’s how a lot of artists get their start initially. I know I got started by copying Dragonball Z characters and then following that with the Gundam Wing style because I felt like that fit me more. I’m still discovering my style and will…

Officially? I have an unspecified mood disorder, but according to my psych NP, I have all of the hallmark signs of bipolar type 2. Before that is set in stone – as much as any mental disorder can be, I suppose – she just wants to be 100% sure, but it’s both relieving and upsetting…

Okay, so I’m posting a pretty big TRIGGER WARNING for this post, due to talk of death and dying.

I’m still annoyed by the fact I have to take Christian-based theology classes for nursing school, but honestly, I did this same thing from grades 4 – 12. It’s not beyond my abilities to just suck it up and participate. However, I’m going to be as honest as I safely can while I’m in the…

Glutton for punishment, I suppose, but yes, I’m going to try to complete NaNo again this year. The likelihood that my word count will suffer due to my schoolwork, burgeoning mental health journey, spiritual study, and various other things that my brain constantly thinks about, but hey, at least I’m trying. Also, be on the…

Yep, I’m doing it again this year. I had so much fun last October that a) I actually watched some horror movies in a non-Halloween-adjacent setting and b) I decided that it would 100% be worth doing a second time. Hell, it may become a yearly thing? Who knows? Plus, I’m needing a nice way…

But somehow,…

Y’all. This semester is only halfway through, and I am beat. BUT. I completed and passed my first class. Health assessment was extreme and frustrating and nerve-wrecking and just … so much. That being said, though, I learned way more in six weeks than I ever thought I could, and I know for sure that…

So I’m competitive. This applies almost universally, even when it seems completely inappropriate, but I don’t think I’m more competitive with anyone more than I am with myself. Being a “gifted” kid was, obviously, wrought with struggles of realizing that, sure, I was smart, but I’m not genius-level smart, no matter how much my parents…

Today is my last day at my current job. It’s slightly bittersweet: the work is, for the most part, enjoyable, and since I work from home, I don’t really have to deal with the coworkers that annoy the hell out of me just by opening their mouths. My relationship with my direct supervisor is a…
