I wish I could say I've been up to more than I've actually been doing. Mostly, I've been focused on my tech projects, my Fic in a Box assignment (only one assignment left to go!), and in between those I've been working on electronic music with my alter, as well as bitsy games, personal writing, and digital art. I have been doing the montly Minvember (Babylon 5 monthly prompt and palette challenge on Tumblr) stuff and it's been really fun, too. I'm trying sooo hard to finish a game one of these days. I keep joining jams and then never doing them.
My life's been pretty unexpectedly great lately, even if I've been struggling a bit with PTSD and paranoia as of the past few days. I'm in a place where I can reach out to others for reassurance without feeling bad about it, and I think that's a really good place for me to be in. It's an accomplishment for sure. I'm so grateful for all the good things I have. It's a little insane to me that I feel content and finally see a future for myself.
I find myself dreaming a lot about the future lately. I hope mine is beautiful. I am going to try so hard to make it beautiful, and to make the lives of my loved ones equally as beautiful.
I usually don't go places besides my ketamine treatments, but I find myself both satisfied for once with my online life and wishing I wasn't so housebound. I find that I am happy talking to my loved ones on Discord and playing with my bird and writing silly fanfiction. I wish I could go out and do things, to be a part of the universe around me, but that's simply not something my body will allow at the moment and I have to make peace with that. I think it'll all be okay.
What else?
Future self-hosting projects I'm going to be working on--
1) Personal blog
2) Community blogging or journalling site (a better one than Mourning Dove lol)
3) Reestablish forums
4) New features to my instances of OTWArchive
I have a lot to do! Mostly right now I am focusing on Sunset upgrades and bug fixes. It's been a wild ride with Sunset so far, but I do have a passion for it.
I don't really know what else to say, other than that I wanted to do a more in-depth update for once. I hope you're all doing well.
