living life as usual

05-13-25 I've been enjoying working on my site recently. A bunch has been moved around in my file system around my journal entries will be bare bones for now, much to my dismay. I feel like I'm experiencing intense creative drive - I want to create all my ideas all at once and never say no to anything 😆. There's this rush I get each time I get a new idea. Not sure why I'm feeling this but I'm enjoying it for now. I've been working on my Ourworld shrine lately, and as I look at my old screenshots and explore dead forums I get more and more inspired. The shrine is becoming bigger than me just documenting what I enjoyed from that game, its more of a celebration of the community itself.

creativity overload

Outside of site-work life has been overwhelming lately despite me being unemployed. I'll be moving back to my childhood home soon. Not looking forward to it at all. I'm just trying to focus on the financial benefits to cope. I hate the idea of moving again, I've moved twice within the past 2 years and each time I hated it even with people helping me. Moving makes me wanna get rid of all of my shit so I never have to deal with this stress again. I'm not enjoying job hunting either. I'm overcome with anxiety every time I complete an application mainly due to dreading returning to any corporate environment.

stressed

But onto things I have been doing, I've seen Sinners twice and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I want to explore every corner of the movie until theres nothing left to find! It's rare that a movie makes me want to research history just for fun. I'm also playing D&D more and it's been great. I've realized I enjoy the roleplaying aspect more than the combat, but I'm only a level 2 fighter so my combat options are pretty limited for now. I've recently joined DSA (Democratic Socialists of America), they organize mutual aid efforts in my community so I'll be joining in on that soon. I napped through the orientation meeting for this month, but they do mutual aid efforts every weekend so I'll meet some people then.

life activities

I've gotten sick of my IRL common place book so I haven't been using it. I've tried to force myself to stick to a format just for consistency sake and it wasn't working at all. Journaling & common placing is fun for me because I can explore new things within it but I've left that behind trying to make a system and maintain an aesthetic. Seeing other posts online with people showcasing their "journal systems" that have very clear aesthetics influenced me to try it out myself. I fucking hate it! It feels so restrictive even if I do enjoy looking at the product of it.

abandoning my IRL commonplace temporarily

Overall life has been as difficult as it's always been for me, but I'm enjoying little moments more. I'm really happy that I created this site and I can be as creative as I want here.
