Since I'm doing what I can to get back into DW, I've stripped down to the basics of trying to check my reading list each day again, even if I don't post. I've managed for 3 days now, which is good! And I'm doing this post now, which is also good!

I'm still in Seattle until the middle of May, then I'm going back to FL for eye care stuff. We'll see how things go from there.

Still seem to be reading regularly, which is great. Not doing much writing at all though, which is something I need to work on.

I'm possibly gonna do something for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, but I'm not sure yet, we shall see.

Hoping all of you are doing well. <3

I'm doing okay, though I'm super-ADHD as of writing.

[ashelterofpages]

Yeah, my ADHD has been all over the place with so many different things. I keep thinking of trying to routine my life a bit more, as I know it helps other people, but I don't have a lot of anchor points, and I especially don't with writing.

As a result of the load in my life and not being able to have time for other things, I've made a formal request to be medically dismissed from my coding bootcamp (since I've been seeing psychiatrists for years and have been going through a lot mentally recently). They are, thankfully, seriously considering it. I'm 99% confident I won't have to take the assessment I have Monday that I've tried to study for, yet haven't been able to do so, and have consequentially wasted hours staring at my computer doing nothing, distracted by the creative juices that began to flow through my mind recently due to my father recently request I help him design a T-shirt for the school district, which I helped him with, and he was pleased with what I came up with. That gave me the revelation that maybe coding wasn't what I was meant for (I had tried it in college since I love video games and wanted to do something close to game development, but even back then, I still struggled, yet I was still able to get good grades). I enjoy gaming, art, and writing fantasy and game reviews far more (and I think I'd be a good game director and journalist, but no one wants to hire someone like me), so I would be far more content doing those than wasting my time on more education that won't pay off in the end, as it didn't when I graduated from college. Time has become a precious resource for me as a result.

Having those realizations can be so good for you. Understanding what won't make you happy can sometimes suck, especially when you've put time and effort into having to learn that lesson, but it really does help you to understand what you do want to aim for.

I've always thought video games were so cool and a fascinating method of storytelling. Unfortunately my sight is bad enough that most games are pretty hard for me to play, despite wanting to. Still, I love hearing about people play games, and the ways you can interact with narrative though interactive media.

Welcome back! I'm doing reasonably well and I hope you are too.

[ashelterofpages]

Yay, I'm glad you're doing well! You are someone I see on Discord and DW every now and then and I go "I need to reach out to Havoc. They're such a neat person." Then I remember that I am full of flail and never do, but just know that I think you're a cool person that exists in the world.

[havocthecat]

I think that you also are a cool person that exists in the world, so I'm glad to know you're still around!
