Written 01/12/25 & Posted 01/18/25 Wrote and mulled this post over during the week and just deciding to use it for today's post. The other writing I did today was for my world-building and that’s not ready to be shared yet. It's been a bummer couple of weeks. In my head I've rationalized and am fine with postponing my move until next year.

Written and Posted 12/21/25 Unfortunately, I grossly underestimated how difficult it was going to be to get rid of my cat. She turned into the biggest hurdle I’ve faced during this process so far, and ultimately, I couldn’t jump that hurdle. She’s a 10-year-old and slightly ornery cat, far the worst or best cat, but not a great option for adoption.

Written & Posted 12/07/25 Another good week of socializing, the event I ran at the store and the ones I attended elsewhere went well. It was good to get a test run on running the event last week because now there’s a bigger and more seriously competitive event I’m running tomorrow. I do have some mild anxiety about the event since getting specific communication from the store is a bit difficult.

Written & Posted 11/30/25 As I’ve been on this new path for a month, it keeps popping into my mind how naive, childish, and just plain stupid I’ve been over the past decade. Well, I am still those things, but at least now I’m moving forward. Previously those thoughts of wasted time and my past failures would bog me down in a sunk cost fantasy sort of way.

Written 11/23/25 & posted 11/25/25 Well, if you read last weeks post you may also notice that I did in fact not post more here or on my socials like I had intended at the end of that post. I’m not really upset about that because the reason that didn’t happen was due to actually being busy. Which is a totally new phenomenon for me and I’m adapting to adjust to it becoming my new normal.

11/16/25 written & posted Forced myself to go to the café and write this on ~3hrs of sleep. Instead of just vegging out for the entire day which is what I typically would have done. I was puppy/house sitting this weekend and it was busier than expected. I had several ideas and plans in my head to do with puppy, like a fun photo shoot and taking her to the store so she can pick out a toy.

11/09/25 written - 11/10/25 posted I should probably get off this snow motif with my titles, but it does feel nice to have a through line with these posts. This will likely be the last of this snow theme. These blog posts aren’t always going to be weekly progress updates like the first few. This is my journal after all so I can write whatever I want.

11/02/25 - written & posted The avalanche has finally settled. I felt a fair amount of relief and catharsis after getting to dump everything (mostly) last weekend. Getting it off my chest also allowed me to settle my mind down a little. Unfortunately, that means I also relapsed a bit with some of my bad habits this week. But thankfully, nothing major and not like in the past where a relapse like that would have caused me to spiral into a depression.

10.26.25-10.27.25 - written & posted This post was written over two sittings. First at a café in the AM before driving up to meet my parents to attempt to dump all of this on them. Then second in the PM (AM*) when I returned. PART 1 – AM My second post and I’m already feeling a pattern, the hardest part of writing these is simply deciding how and where to start.

10.19.25– written & posted I have no idea where to begin. So, I suppose a good a spot as any is trying to explain the absolute avalanche of thought that has led me to even type any of this at all. Also, try to keep in mind throughout, rumblings of this avalanche have been shaking in my mind but it only truly triggered on 10/12.
