my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military

I forgot how random it feels to find interests as a neurodivergent person.

For months, I have zero active interest in the water - then by chance, I happen to aquire an aquatic OC - and now, for the past month, ocean is all I have been about.

From reading about my favourite shark species - thresher sharks, to researching the pelagic zones, reading about more shark and fish species, to finally discovering freediving and deciding that's going to be my hyperfixation for the next few months.

I'm on my second week of breath hold training, and the benefits are immediate. Big part of learning to hold your breath is actually learning to calm down and relax. Reducing and optimizing your body movements to minimize the oxygen use also helps same way as meditating.

I've noticed since I started, I became much calmer overall. Normally, I'm this walking ball of anxiety, and can't do much to help myself... Except - now I can. I'm able to utilise the same mindset I use for freediving, to help stabilise myself and my thoughts.

While breath holding, when I'm running out of time and the involuntary convulsions begin, my natural body response is to panic. At first I'd attempt to power through it to reach my desired time goal (of two minutes). Not pretty, it worked, somewhat... though quite unpleasant. Recently, I've taken on another approach. When that inevitable moment comes, I try to relax and focus my mind elsewhere - or on nothing at all. I remind myself that I have plenty of time. And if I can keep up this mindset - the unpleasant feeling is much much less severe, or even comes on much later. It's really fascinating how much of it is in your head.

[Beastieball] HAPPY EASTER!!!

In Australia we have the Easter Bilby opposed to the Easter Bunny so I thought the Bildit line (even though I'm a kichik stan forever) was perfect to draw :).

LIVE A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE BARN CATS!!

Ravenpaw and Barley is canon now... What a wonderful timeline to be alive in! I figured a celebration with an art is in place :)

I haven't been making any personal posts lately - and ultimately, that's a good thing! It means I'm busy with life, in the good busy-ness way. I'm hanging out with my friends and/or making new ones, both online and irl. I'm going out on roadtrips. I'm involving myself with my hobbies. In general, I'm.. living my life. A healthy life!
