So I put on a shirt that I haven’t worn in a hot minute and realized it fits much different now.
I hated the pictures on the left when they were taken, but now I’m thankful I have them for comparisons!
Ignore the dirty mirror… it’s right by a bathtub and it always gets wet from the two year old splashing during bath time.
But I can see it in my face, in my arms, my tummy, and maybe I am losing my boobs a bit?!
I’ve been waiting to have a good weight loss comparison pictures! The difference in these two is about 46 lbs (picture isn’t from my heaviest weight but close to it).
I wanted to visually see all the things I accomplished this year, since it's been a little on the rougher side for me.

I'm frustrated with how little I feel I've gotten done this year. Looking at this makes me feel a little more accomplished, but I didn't market my books like I wanted to or stay on top of self-publishing. I had plans to start going to conventions or writers events or maybe even orchestrating local signings.
A lot of my productive hiccups have to do with current family court litigation and we'll still be in the throes of litigation come the beginning of 2024.
However! Hopefully some machinations for the New Year will give me a creative boost for 2024.
I hope your 2023 treated you all well and I hope your 2024 is phenomenal!
i think i dissociate a lot less than i used to, which is a really great sign. recently (and by that i'd say the past few months or even more), the majority of the dissociation i've been experiencing has been pretty mild.
Even tho this day still makes me have moments of shaky breathing and feeling unmoored, I am doing well. I feel glad today and happy and joyous. I’m doing well and it’s been two years.
slow motion flip from today :) got a few more good ones but lots of rough ones as well. Overall my technique has a long way to go but I’ve only been consistently landing these for like 4 days so like we have time to fix the problems lol
Kinda wanna just stream me drawing/doing random art (again? Kinda?)
Might figure out how to set that up for later tomorrow as a way to feel "social" without formal social media.
It's been a rough April so far, I just wanna do better and feel better. Who says I can't use the solar eclipse as a New Year's type thing for resolutions and change? (I mean astrologically it's not entirely off)
