Got my tickets 🤍
The truth is, I really want to go to FanFest 😭.
I don't talk about XIV much because I haven't played in a while (experienced through 7.0 at least). I keep telling myself to start back up again, but I haven't.
Will give the gen sales period an honest try, or just take time off in Anaheim instead 🙏.

I'm sad.
And my feelings are valid.
I don't feel like I'm the only person out there who feels they're in a constant state of being misunderstood, but I've struggled with this my whole life.
Tomorrow comes.

Would love to travel and go to friends' Thanksgivings/Christmases this season 🥺
My small family doesn't do either, and I have the itch to travel that isn't for a con.

i think its good that bluesky is boring and you dont want to scroll through it too much because you're not supposed to waste your day away scrolling on social media when you could be using the computer to play & draw & learn before the corporations destroy the rest of the internet. tick tock

Today, I can say I have lofty goals for my professional career, for photography, for content creation, and for my personal quests. Goals that seem more realistic today than they were years ago.
That's progress.

Probably not doing a service to myself, but I've been thinking about how I spent 4 of the past 9 years unemployed (graduating from undergrad 9 years ago).
I start a new job on Monday, in a position at a company that I believe shows promise. Another chance to grow.
