Hi plurk. I exist, I promise. Haven't been doing much of that on plurk, admittedly, so I feel it's appropriate to give a life update. Mute as necessary.
I don't remember exactly when I stopped being active, but I know I wasn't in a good place at the time. The past two years have been incredibly bad for my mental health. Didn't help when Unemployment was gonna start demanding job search proof, so I had to stop that
But I did start seeing a therapist a few months ago through Talkspace. Put some of that money to good use and my doctor's really helped me get out of that funk
Even some promising directions to go for a career. On a complete whim, I applied to be a voice actor for twitch streamer Ivycomb's project and I got chosen! Haven't done any work yet, but the project has a direction and honestly, even just auditioning got me really excited, so I think that's something I want to look into
And recently, I was taken on to be a paid DM to demo a friend's adventure path, which is also something I'm really excited about and could possibly look into, if this goes well
That said, this year is off to a rough start. Water damage from a burst pipe a few floors above us fucked with the walls and the floors, so not only will construction need to be done, but because mom and sis regularly work from home, we'll need to vacate the apartment for some time
This...has been an indomitable source of stress. Not only do I not like the thought of staying at some bed and breakfast away from home for indeterminate amounts of time, in even closer quarters to a mother I can't stand being around (though I've acknowledged her own stress and dialed down the anger for ehr sake)
But since bringing my own computer is an increasingly bad idea, this means I can't really start either job until I get dates, times and know when I can start. Dates and times that they almost refuse to tell us
But if nothing else, I have started exercising again. I bought an under desk elliptical and am going to get back into the habit of using one. Because last time I did, I genuinely enjoyed it
That and I have plans to keep myself busy if and when we go. Bring a few notebooks to take up writing again or even start drawing like I've wanted to for years. Considering a tablet for that, but that's its own topic
So yeah, that's where I'm at currently. It's a roller coaster of shit and it might be going down after things were climbing up, but I'm hanging in there as much as I can
Thanks for being patient with me and hearing me out, everyone. I can be difficult to deal with for one reason or another and while I can't communicate my emotions as well as I'd like, it means a lot that you're willing to hear me out
i have honestly no idea if you remember me cause i've been away for years and changed names a couple times, but i've been thinking of you sometimes since coming back to RP and hope you're doing alright
Thx everybody!
: Family was only part of the trauma, but it was still a big part of it. It honestly came as a relief to know that I'm dealing with is some honest to god trauma
Still waiting on any actual confirmation on ADHD or anything like that, but at least that part I know how to deal with. Trauma, less so, but it's a work in progress
uwaaaaaaaah, I miss our time together rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRIKI
Would've done so earlier, but sis having a long soak after work put that on hold. I'd rather not sit in my own sweat for what could be hours, but sounds like she's getting out soon
PWS is a very chill game. Tho there are moments of aggressively hunting down tiny stains across a hefty map, the completion of a map can be worth the effort
but yeah, even if it doesn't go on sale, $20 is a good price for the game, and how the hell are they still claiming this is early access, how much more are they planning to add
i'm glad the cheat is not dead
