Another General Update · 4:19pm May 25th, 2016
It's been a week since I gave all of you 'An Update into my Psyche'. Since quite a few things have changed since then, I figured another update was due. This time, I have decided to break it up into sections. So if there is anything I talk about which you couldn't care less about, feel free to skip.
New Avatar
As you can see, I got a new avatar. Would like to give my thanks to the artist, zoarvek. Also need to give a shout-out to Enigmatic Otaku for pointing me to his artist friend for this request. Nice to have a proper avatar, and not that Create-A-Pony one I've been using for the last 2+ years.
Girlfriend
Some of you know that I was in a long-distance relationship with user Shy Marble Pie. As you can see on her profile, however, her account has either been deemed dead or something like that. I don't know any of the details, and I'm not sure if I ever will. I had not heard of her for the past six weeks, and this doesn't help the whole anxiety I have about the situation. But I've been through enough relationship problems in my life to not get overly emotional or broken up about this. It is what it is, and if this wasn't meant to work out, then so be it.
Mental State
In my earlier blog post, I know I sounded extremely pessimistic about my life in general and how my psychiatric illnesses were affecting my entire being. I would like to make it clear that I was not having suicidal thoughts, and I have no plans on harming myself in any way at any time. Basically what I meant by everything I said was that my state of mind is almost secondary to my financial problems. More on that in the next section. Suffice is to say, I am feeling infinitely better than I was a week ago. That's just how these things work sometimes.
Living Situation
I am going to be moving at the end of July. My sister has agreed to put me up for awhile so I can once again get back on my feet financially. This should be good for me for a multitude of reasons, including just the fact that I have been quite separated from my family. Yes, I visited my father in England back in November, but I haven't seen my sister in person in three years. On top of that, an old college friend of mine told me he will be looking for a new place in the same town my sister lives in sometime this fall. So hopefully that means that I won't have to live with my sister for too long. Any of you out there with siblings will know that living with them as adults doesn't always work out for the best. Certainly wasn't that smooth when we shared an apartment my last year in college.
Stories
There was a time earlier this month when I thought I had a good chance of getting something published. Unfortunately, that will not be the case. All the above things have affected both my creativity and my general passion for writing. Of course, I will get both of them back in good time, you just have to patient with me. I know I've said that a lot.
Cheers.
I like the new avatar, almost as much as I like hearing that you've sorted your housing.
It's great to hear that you're doing better mate, just don't feel obligated to write as you surely need to take your time right now.
3972174 Yeah, I know. Just feel disappointed that the inspiration hasn't been there. Plus, now I owe Enigmatic a story, one more to put on the list.
