It's been a loooong stressful 2 months... I don't feel like
ranting about it all here, instead here's a short and quick list
of significant moments:
-
applied to an apartment and got rejected despite having
enough money to cover the first 6 months of rent
-
spiraled immediately after and bought way too many stickers
and washi tapes to cope
-
dealt with insurance issues for 2 months delaying my ability
to get medical treatment
-
had a screaming match with my mother over an open door
-
my father told me to join the US military under
this current regime so I could "make money", and that
if I applied for section 8 housing I could get approved
quickly and that after that I could live in a 3 bedroom
apartment that costs $3.5k a month while working at
McDonalds easily...
-
took my my dog to the vet, she ends up passing a kidney
stone and may need to go back to get surgery on her
urethra... the bill was over $1k
- still no job
- found joy in journaling in the library

So yea not too much good stuff lately, but I'm still finding joy
and clarity where ever I can. One of those places is *here*, so
I'm making time to actually engage with my site again -yay-. My
main focus is going to be on redoing my review page. The overall
design was ok when I didn't have so many reviews, but now it
feels tedious to scroll through them all so imma change that.
The redesign *might* include the media log as well, not sure
yet, but basically things are changing! Spring is here! Another
reason is that I want to change some of my reviews since my
perspective has changed, and just make the process easier for me
to add the reviews in. In the mean time I'll still be updating
my media log, as I am usually consuming some type of media. I'd
like to add a comment section to some of the reviews too because
I want to provide a space to have conversations about it... so
maybe the reviews will be in pages of their own like articles
-think-... but for my shorter reviews I'm not sure that would
look well. I just have to try and see!

I've been enjoying journaling IRL again after abandoning the
system I set up for myself. Initially I began journaling to have
a space to explore and release whatever I wanted, but as I got
deeper into the journaling community and saw how other people
did theirs I began adopting their ideas and structures into my
system. It became more about aesthetics and productivity than
observation and experimentation. So I gave up on both, but not
completely because I do need *something* to keep me productive
and I do enjoy a cute spread, they're just no longer my
priority. I might post a couple pages here eventually. And when
I say I bought too many stickers and washi tapes I mean it
-sweat-. I bought a 3rd sticker book to fit the new stickers in
but it's not enough so I need *another* one to organize them all
how I want -cry- (and yes, I am aware that I don't *have* to
organize my stickers in sticker books, but this is a rule I've
made for myself and the process of peeling then sticking each
sticker individually into said books has become a calming ritual
for me).

That's all I've got for now. Oh, and I've continued creating
outfits in Makichat - here are a few recent ones.
