Leaving Tracks: Endless Distractions · 8:33pm May 29th, 2023
Been a while since I made one of these, figure I ought to check-in. I don't have a lot of news, but if you're interested in why I don't have a lot of news, read on!
So the main thing is that sweet Baophomet, ADHD is a bitch... I've spent months just playing games to be honest. I was crawling my way through Zelda before, starting with the first game and playing my way through the series, then I got through Ocarina and went on a trip (more on that shortly) and have been playing Pokémon since then (I've played through gen 1-3 and am working on 4). This has nothing to do with anyone and is not interesting to talk about, but I've been spending so much time on videogames that I just needed to make note that that's exactly what I've been busy with 
Then there's that trip! I'm currently visiting thedarkprep for two and a half weeks. Well, currently at the end of that, will be going home soon. It's been a nice trip, I got to meet her mom and one of her other girlfriends, and we've watched a lot of anime. She showed me "Your Voice", "Violet Evergarden", and "A Place Further Than the Universe", all of which I've enjoyed a ton (Violet is now a top five show for me). I showed her "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" which she described as a "seven out of ten" show and I somehow didn't break up with her for that 
Aside from games and anime, I've been working on becoming a bookkeeper. That's really the biggest news I've got for y'all, and like, why would you care about that? But it's important to me. For my entire adult life, I've struggled with work. The truth is that I'm not cut out for many jobs because of my depression, autism, and/or ADHD making things unreasonably hard for me. I get highly stressed to the point where it's driven me to attempt suicide years ago. I think I can do bookkeeping, but it is kind of terrifying, you know? If I can't do this, expect a massive depression spiral 
But right now my mental health is stable, I've just got to get my time management down a little more. Cut out some videogames, add in— oh, shit, Diablo IV and Final Fantasy XVI come out next month... Uhhhh I may be gone a while longer, folks 
I do hope to work on those two stories I mentioned previously, but wow am I ever not doing any writing these days! And I have my original novel taking shape, should get back to that, and my music archiving hobby... This is why I stopped playing games for years, I don't have time to do anything else 
Damn, you sure have been keeping busy lately. And I can understand that. I too am in the middle of likely experiencing something new I don't feel ready for but know it's what I want to do with my life/future. I'd go into more detail but atm I'm into feeling up for it.
This is a CRIME and now she has to go to jail forever 👏
“Your Voice”?

Congratulations on learning bookkeeping!
Ecstatic to hear you've been doing well! Congratulations on learning bookkeeping!
I hope it works out for you, clearly writing is very important to you, and youve made a fantastic series of stories. Doing something with literature seems something quite up your alley. All the best.
