It's been somewhere around six months since I discovered the things that are keeping me moving. Realizing that I'm an undiagnosed autistic was the first major step. After that I started searching for myself and found spirituality, something I had always scoffed at in the past. And then there's the writing. I scrapped the project that I had been working on, and started a new one. A project that I've been working on for the last few months. The other story just didn't have any heart to it. The one I'm working on now, I started as a way to channel some of my frustrations. I'm putting more of myself into this than I ever have, and it's helping. And… it’s actually feels like a good story.
I've got a decent amount of it written, but all things that happen much later in the story. Which was always a thing that bothered me. But lately I've been working on the beginning of the story, and I've been making decent progress. It started out with the concept of loneliness. Which led me to start a story set in a post apocalyptic world. Now it's become a post apocalyptic, sci-fi… I never in my life thought I'd be saying this… romance. It's not the main focus, but it's certainly become an important part of it. Which is fucking wild to me.
Anyway, I guess all of that is just to say that I'm heading into another year of life in a somewhat better mind space. Still not perfect, not even close, but better. Well, happy birthday to me, I suppose.
