It’s been a little while people. To be honest, I’ve been on the fence on writing anything about this little visitation. Mostly because I’m not sure it’s where I want to be again. No ill feelings, just finding my place is all.
A lot has happened since March. A whole lot. I’ll include some pictures as well to give representation.
I suppose the biggest news is I made it. I’m working as a professional counselor after a decade of schooling. It’s been a hell of a ride and through all the doubt and trials and struggles and naysayers I’m working in a highly needed profession as someone that was never expected to succeed and as someone who challenged far more than necessary. I’m very glad to have seen my struggles be overcome and moving forward to be the best counselor I can be. The struggle was real my dudes! I’m applying to pursue my PhD in Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision. Basically I want to teach new counselors how to work as counselors in the field compared to book work. Reading and doing are very different, and I want to be the forefront of those discussions surrounding ethics and client care compared to old and mundane practices that are clearly not working.
Secondly, I got my own place after years and years of living with horrendous roommates. Man, that was a tough half decade too. It’s not much, but it’s exactly what I need for me. I can finally be my own person in my own place without the annoyances of roommates or whatever they bring in through the door. So I’m super excited. Now I’m considering a cat…. A big orange fluffy one to judge people in the window with. Yes, I think that will be perfect.
Additionally, I have truly missed some of the people I really connected with. First and foremost, the king of belongs himself, if he’s still around @kungfury. That dude is probably one of my most magnificent people around. The man can put a blog together that will blow your mind, the greatest newspapers in the world should hire him, he’d be worth it. The gorgeous @niffler as always. The women is so amazing and she is truly probably one of the most compassionate and goofy women you could know. She is probably one of the finest women I’ve come to meet in my life, gift her cherry cokes and she’ll be incredibly grateful.
It’s been a good summer for me. I’m proud and happy of the results I’ve had. Fitness is still very much a part of my life and I still strive to be as healthy physically as I do mentally. Cooking has become pretty lame for me and I’m not even ashamed I pretty much eat chicken and rice and green beans 5 out of 7 days a week. Sorry, not sorry. I kinda made my own gym since you know, pandemic and meeting people in public is even more uncomfortable. I’m not even mad. I’m my own best company and I like that.
For all the others who are new. I hope you too find such connections here. Naked women are cool and all, but like, have you ever talked about the in between? Try it, most of these women are pretty bad ass beyond being naked for you. Give it a shot.
