For the first time in over a decade, my answer to "have you had any symptoms of depression in the past two weeks" (neurologist appointment) was "no" and I'm still marvelling over it.

My depression isn't gone but it's much less pervasive and overwhelming. I have depressive episodes, but not persistent depression -- despite the fact that my physical health is in a not-great place right now.

I was in therapy for 10 years, am still seeing psychiatrist since 8 years ago. It definitely helped with acute things (my mother dying, dealing with the explosive fallout of an abusive friendship) but it never really put a dent in the deep depression and constant anxiety.

so what did? What, in about 6 months, completely changed my ability to cope and exist in relative peace?

Finding out I was autistic.

I made the decision to give up alcohol completely a few weeks ago.  Today I’ll be around a lot of people drinking at family gatherings and such, but it feels good to say I won’t have a beer in my hand this year. I started drinking at 16, and was a way I bonded a lot with my brother.  (He passed away recently and was my best friend, but also suffered from alcoholism and other addictions.)  So it’s been hard to give it up, as it held so many memories. But also holds a ton of really bad decisions or stupid mistakes I’ve made throughout my life. To everyone trying to give up the drink, I’m proud of y’all! It’s rough, but I believe you can do it! I like a good challenge.  (and I still got my herb, at least lol.)

Here Comes the Sun! (Doo doo doo doo!)

I'm beyond tired of ME saying it all the time, but I have not died, disappeared, or given up!

Longer story short: holidays were hectic but good, and I FINALLY got to start my new position within the company I work for - and though I'm only on my 2nd day of training so far, it's amazing the difference I feel!

It's like a huge weight has been lifted off of my back/shoulders/chest. I'm not stressed at work, I'm not anxious, my trainer is like, the sweetest, most patient and welcoming woman, I'm enjoying all that I'm learning so far and am eager to learn some more, I look forward to the future in my new job, I really think it'll be a much better fit for me and my life, and I hope to be here for a long time to come!

It's nothing personal at all against my previous coworkers... but you ever feel like you're just not you at your job? Like it's turning into someone you don't recognize and/or like? My prior position wasn't an awful one (I've had jobs that were soooo much worse), and it wasn't inherently difficult - but I was doing a lot on my own w/ next to no help (not my coworkers' fault, they had their own duties to do), and it felt like I was on a never-ending treadmill with no end in sight. It was just... so discouraging.

I know I'm still in the 'honeymoon stage' of my new position, and it won't always be perfect/'fun'/easy/etc... but I'm so happy to be here (so far) and it's amazing what a difference I feel now (like a '180').

ANYWAY - I feel like I FINALLY have some decent time to devote to 'Shadow of Steel' again, and am actually getting some MUCH-needed work done on it today! I really, really hope to have a chunk of the 'slightly updated', revamped previous chapters up on Ao3 relatively soon!

As for my other fics... well... I'll be 100% honest, I don't know if I'll ever finish 'The Book of John'. ...Which is really a shame, b/c I seriously had so many plans & creative ideas for that fic (plus, I totally wanted to explore the slow burn that would be John & Sarah in that fic). I'm not 100% cancelling it out just yet, but I'd say it's definitely in the 'limbo/chopping block' area of my writing plans. :-(

'I Need to Tell You' - same as above. I'd say it's around 2/3 of the way finished, so I would really like to complete this one (especially since it's more plausible for John & Sarah to have a happy ending in this one, LOL)... but I don't know yet if it'll happen. We'll see, I guess?

Thank you for hanging in there and waiting patiently, those of you that did... but if you haven't, I don't blame you one bit - but I'd like to hope that you'll give me another chance (someday, heh).

.....And in my mind, Arthur Maxson is waiting outside my door with a baseball bat - since his much-liked girlfriend has been kidnapped for forever now, and he really doesn't appreciate my excuses, LOL. *XD

A Fresh Start: My Dual New Year's Resolutions for 2024

Shaina Tranquilino

January 26, 2024

As the calendar flips to a new year, it presents us with an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. While resolutions often seem daunting, they can also be a powerful catalyst for positive change in our lives. This year, I have chosen not one but two resolutions – reading the Bible and donating money to organizations helping those in need. With these commitments, I aim to make up for unfinished business from last year while embracing new paths toward personal development.

Resolution #1: Reading the Bible Last year, my intention was to delve into the depths of the Bible, seeking wisdom, guidance, and spiritual solace. However, as life got busy, I found myself unable to fully commit to this endeavour. Nevertheless, recognizing the immense value that lies within its pages, I am determined to make amends and prioritize regular scripture reading this year.

The Bible is more than just a religious text; it is an unparalleled source of inspiration regardless of one's faith or beliefs. Its timeless teachings hold valuable insights on morality, love, forgiveness, and resilience – virtues we can all benefit from incorporating into our lives. By dedicating time each day to immerse myself in its sacred passages, I hope to gain a deeper understanding and apply these principles in practical ways.

To ensure success with this resolution, I plan on establishing a consistent routine tailored to my schedule. Whether it's through morning devotionals or evening reflections before bed, creating dedicated moments for scriptural learning will foster spiritual growth and bring me closer to accomplishing my goal.

Resolution #2: Donating Money to Help Those in Need Another resolution close to my heart is making financial contributions to organizations working tirelessly to alleviate suffering among vulnerable communities. Although I made some donations last year, I feel compelled to do even more now – giving back echoes the essence of humanity and strengthens our collective well-being.

The world faces countless challenges, from poverty and hunger to inequality and environmental degradation. By supporting organizations that tackle these issues head-on, we can actively contribute to positive change and provide hope where it's needed most. From local charities addressing immediate community needs to global initiatives striving for long-term impact, there are numerous avenues through which our contributions can make a difference.

To fulfill this resolution effectively, I plan on researching reputable organizations aligned with my values and causes close to my heart. Establishing a monthly budget specifically dedicated to donations will ensure consistency in my philanthropic efforts. Additionally, volunteering my time or skills alongside financial support will allow me to engage more deeply with the causes I champion.

Embarking on a new year provides an opportunity for self-improvement and personal growth. While resolutions often come with their fair share of challenges, they also offer a chance for redemption and renewed commitment. This year, by focusing on two unfinished resolutions from the past – reading the Bible and donating money to those in need – I am determined to create lasting positive change in both my life and the lives of others.

Embracing scripture will bring spiritual enlightenment, guiding me towards compassion, empathy, and moral fortitude. Simultaneously, contributing funds towards worthy causes will empower communities facing adversity while nurturing gratitude within myself.

As we embark upon another chapter of our lives together, let us seize this fresh start with unwavering dedication and open hearts. May 2024 be a year of growth, kindness, and resilience as we strive to become better versions of ourselves while making a meaningful impact on the world around us.

So, tumblr is now my only social media (unless you count YouTube, I guess) I’m getting rid of a ton of things. I’m just so exhausted with constantly being marketed at all the time.

I’ve deleted many apps and their corresponding accounts. I’ve unsubscribed from many YouTube channels (they were nice enough for content creators, but ultimately were trying to get me to buy more stuff and they had to go)

I’ve sorted through my closet and pulled out everything I’ve been convinced that I need but don’t want (I’ll be selling whatever Plato’s closet will take so that I can purchase items I need and will actually wear. Anything they won’t take is still in good shape and has a lot of use left in them, so I will get connected with a mutual aid group in order to make sure someone that will wear those items receives them.)

I need to work on unsubscribing from like 500 email lists and deleting useless emails. I think that will be the most difficult task, tbh.

I’ve deleted mobile games, news apps, and unsubscribed from services. I’ve even deleted the Google app from my phone.

I have cleaned out my fridge, cabinets, and kitchen.

I’ve declutterred my makeup, skincare, and hair care items.

I’m finally becoming free. It’s really nice. I know that this may seem like the sort of thing people do before they commit suicide, but I assure everyone that I’m working hard to live for real. I just feel like being inundated with advertising and constantly distracted by my phone is preventing me from truly living and enjoying my life. I’ve wasted so much time on fake bullshit when I could have been reading, making art, crafting, gaming, singing, roller skating, trying new recipes, writing, playing board games or TCGs or Tabletop games, learning languages, lifting weights so I’m strong enough to punch nazis in the face, or anything really.

All of that being said, tumblr is the one social media where I’ve found my people, which is why it’s staying in my life. I don’t get stuck on here for countless hours against my will, no one on here makes me hate myself, the only ads I get are like that old lady with a sword a few months back and currently some monopoly game app. I’m constantly inspired by people on here. Y’all are all so different from me, but at the exact same time so similar to me as well.

#living life #irl #ready to do all the things #anti capitalism #positive changes #tumblr is the best #only social media necessary is tumblr #all the other social medias can fuck off #thanks for inspiring me to live instead of brainwashing me into a fake life

The Law of Love - 5 Things You Should Know about the Universal Law of Love.

It’s the second week of the month, which means it’s time for our Monthly Universal Law Guide. This Month’s Law is the Universal Law of Love. Before we start, I would like to point out that the Law of Love has nothing to do with romantic love and attracting a partner into your life. The Law of Love is about benevolence and Universal Love. As always, here are the Universal Laws we already have…

project: passion

Hi!! Are you fed up with the amount of time you waste on your phone? Do you consider yourself a person that has a potential but doesn't have enough energy to use it? I may have a solution for that :)

This challenge will take 14 days. Write down 14 things you always wanted to try or like to do but have no time for them. Then, cut them into little flashcards and place in the jar. Each day you take one card from the jar and spend at least one hour doing it. You can write down your thoughts about it and after two weeks there is a chance you'll be richer with new passions :)

Remember to share this challenge with your friends - you may have more fun and motivation in bigger group!

Here are some less common ideas you can consider adding to your list:

create a meme

make a journey plan

make your own song

cook a fancy dinner

look for work as a translator

write a film review

create a board game

make a personal guide of your closest area

write an article to the local newspaper

list character traits you want to get rid of and act opposite like you were an actor

go thrift shopping

clean your wardrobe and donate clothes

plant sth (I recommend avocado :))

text or meet with people you knew a long time ago

I'll update if anything else comes to my mind. Have fun!!

I think we need to get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes shitty, racist, homophobic, bigoted people are still incredibly talented.

I feel like every time I see a post addressing someone’s shitty behavior the post also takes the time to mention that they’re not even good at [x] anyway. And that’s just not always true? Equating being good at a skill as being morally good is just not necessary. Someone can be a fantastic writer, can have a beautiful singing voice, can create breathtaking artwork, and still be a horrible person.

I know part of this is probably just the instinct to dislike everything about a person when you dislike them, but I also think this mindset leads to people defending creatives way past where they should, because if bad people create bad art, then if this person creates art that I like and resonates with me, then they can’t be a bad person!

And you know. That’s just not true. Those two things are simply completely unconnected and I think it’d be healthier if we all started disconnecting them in our heads.

#ramblings tag #like idk. I think it’s possible to feel distaste for someone’s stuff while acknowledging it’s objectively good #but sometimes people act like admitting there’s a single good thing about a person who’s been shitty is impossible #and like. no! people are multifaceted and can have many positives #those don’t change the fact that they’ve done shitty things
