Emotional Upsets

My mind is currently a mess. It seems like one emotional upset after another is being absorbed and internalized by me, and I’m not sure they’re worth delving into. But here I am writing about them because what else can I do to feel unburdened? Today was a particularly taxing workday battling a tension headache.…… Continue reading Emotional Upsets

Mixed Bag of Emotions

Well, I’m out. Sunday the 31st was my moving-in date to my new place. This is what I wanted. Change is never easy and so far I’ve felt bad and good effects from it. Originally I got the largest room that faced the street but me and Juliane switched rooms today. While there were perks…… Continue reading Mixed Bag of Emotions

Bitter Words

I’m counting down the days until I can finally move all my stuff out and move into my new apartment. Things have been quiet around my parents. I don’t really care all that much to cherish my time with them now because I’m too focused with leaving and having the freedom I am owed after…… Continue reading Bitter Words

Track of Life

I spent several days in suspense awaiting news from the owners of an apartment that Ash, Juliane, and I applied to. We got their approval to move in, and the agent intends to send over the lease on Monday. I actually haven’t seen the place in-person yet, as during the initial viewing of this apartment…… Continue reading Track of Life

Starting Afresh

I spent two hours last night going through more than a dozen old journals and taking out the pages for recycling. That isn’t even the whole collection of writings I have left to get rid of. Up until about mid-2021, I was still using paper journals. All those books filled up two whole cabinets. After…… Continue reading Starting Afresh

Somewhere Inbetween

I just had the worst anxiety yesterday, perhaps from drinking too much coffee and my emotions being heightened due to the group social setting I found myself in. Ash was there, along with other coworkers I am friendly with, but there were a couple of coworkers I didn’t know that well. Everyone was laughing and…… Continue reading Somewhere Inbetween

From the Ashes

For the last few weeks, I’ve been frequenting a thrift shop near one of my worksites to give away small items I no longer need or want. This isn’t an ordinary spurt of early spring cleaning. It’s intentional because I’m currently in the works with a semi-secret plan in progress to move out sometime during…… Continue reading From the Ashes

On the Edge

I don’t know where to start. Since my last blog post, I went through a ring of hell throughout the rest of November and for all of December. The organization I work for was funded through the city and we faced some very severe budget cuts in November 2023 that would’ve eliminated my whole department…… Continue reading On the Edge

The Boundary Line

This blog seems to be in a stasis. I hardly ever play with the theme/style of the blog design and haven’t thought about changing it. And I probably wouldn’t have the energy to revamp it to regenerate new interest from other bloggers. Mostly I find it comforting to come back here from time to time…… Continue reading The Boundary Line
