It will be tough but change is NEVER easy!!
We will buy the apartment and I will move in... 🎇
It's in the area of the historic outskirts / beginning of the suburbs, so it should be much more quiet than right in the city center near the main train station where I'm currently living. But it's not too quiet and still central, everything's walkable. Right next to the house is a super cozy historic tavern from 1600, and it's located where one smaller river flows into another big one, so I can go swimming, paddling, canoeing etc. right in front of my door, there are also some small beaches and beautiful hike and bike paths nearby. The apartment is on the second floor and comes with 1 bedroom, 1 big living / dining room combo with a very high ceiling, 1 medium sized kitchen, 1 bathroom with a bathtub, parquet flooring, a renewed heating system, I'll have my own underground parking space, a cellar compartment and a small balcony — Jackpot?!
I will become a professional dog trainer.... 🎇
Today I had the scheduled talk (interview) on the phone with that dog trainer who's popular in my area; she's willing to take me as her student and I can start within the next two weeks! she also said that I was able to finish the whole training in one year! which means I could -theoretically- start working as a professional dog trainer around this time next year already (but I can do everything at my own pace and it would also be legit if I needed 2 years or more) — omg I'm so excited!
My life has always been interesting (& challenging), but it could be really really awesome! I can't believe it yet, but MAYBE, just maybe, things are falling in place and I am able to build my dream life.
I have a bachelor's and a master's degree (got it at age 24 and 27), I already have been working in very different fields: I worked for the ones in need (health care, nursing), I worked for technological progress (fiberglass internet), I worked for the liberal arts (art history, archaeology, archive), I made floors, and I worked for the authorities (building department). Now it's time to finally work with animals (dogs) and their humans.
After doing a lot of research, I have decided against going on any meds to stop my anxiety.
I’ve also decided not to try ADHD meds either since I have multiple systems in place that already help my ADHD.
The main reason is because creativity is my biggest coping mechanism, and medicines designed to try and “neurotypicalize” the brain sometimes (not true for everyone) have an adverse effect on those who think outside the box.
I know that my inspiration comes from the wild unpredictability of my brain. I know that I can write the way I do because of my deep connection to my emotions. I am not interested in having that ability possibly change just so I can work a dead end job forever. The goal was ALWAYS to still be creative in my free time outside the job. I can’t do that if I’m on something that flattens emotions and makes me tired all the time. Or something that switches my thinking to being rational constantly.
It’s definitely NOT that way for EVERYONE and some people DO need meds to help, but I don’t think I am one of those people. I was on meds as a kid (quite a few before mom and dad finally gave up) that crushed parts of my creativity and I can’t risk losing any more of it to meds that aren’t right for me while trying to find a med that is right for me.
Furthermore, getting a job is a very stressful thing, but once I have a stable job then the anxiety about the unknowns won’t be that bad. I don’t see going on medication long term to ease a short term problem as what I’m looking for.
However. I am open to trying some kind of sleep aid that I only take on nights when my brain won’t turn off and allow me to sleep. Something that I don’t have to take every day. I firmly believe that getting enough sleep will help my stress levels and mood enough that I can handle whatever is thrown at me.
Because I cannot risk losing my main coping mechanism just because it “distracts” me. If anything, I feel LESS distracted when it comes to doing mundane tasks while also thinking about AATC nonstop in my head. It is NOT the obstacle my job coach thought it was.
I’m going to continue finding ways to relieve my anxiety outside of medication as well and building more systems to help me manage the onslaught of random thoughts and worries.
I hope this works.

new plans, matt sturniolo smau synopsis: coming home for the holidays has its perks; you get to see your childhood best friends again, you get to spend the holidays with the people you’ve always loved, and the list goes on. of course, it also had its cons— you have to face your best friend, matt, the one that you’re madly in love with and have been in love with since you were merely thirteen. little do you know, though, that he’s dealing with the same mixed emotions of you and the holidays; biting his nails as he waits for you to knock on his front door.

With my older projects being back my mind is going nuts with idea, ideas AND plans even. Like for example ya'll remember Dr. Patrice from the Symbiosis prologue? Well as mentioned at one point she and her wife are having issues and by the time we catch up to the present they are divorced because the wife cheated. Well I had a fun thought I'm going to introduce. If the MC is a woman you can get the option for the MC being the one she cheated with, which in turn will lead to some unique scenes with the Doctor in the present!!!
Soooo many new ideas!!! Also since Time Warden and Across the Stars are in the same universe I suppose I should implement somethings so that if you play TW it can have an effect on AtS.
Making Changes
I am still tracking and did good today despite going the Golden Corral with a friend. I joined a gym today. I got new shoes as my trainers are starting to fall apart, they are like 4 years old. I had a lovely salad for dinner. Tomorrow I am going to the gym for the first time in like 4 or 5 years…
