March update ~
Mar. 27th, 2024 09:39 pmSo March has been a good but busy month! (I feel like I may be saying that about every month for the rest of my life ^^) But again, I feel like positive about it overall.
Firstly a new project I have been at work doing is each week getting some pictures together from my mom and dad's family albums to have copies made for my own albums. It's been a project for sure, and just last week I found out my mom has some extra albums! I'm not getting photos of all photos, but the ones I feel important. Hopefully that doesn't sound self centered. In the future I'd like to write about my family more and my ancestry and DNA results I've gotten which have been an interesting experience.
I've been going through more stuff for my future yard sale. I will be so relived when all of these boxes will be out of my house! Hopefully my old treasures will bring others joy, whoever may want them.
Pokemon Go has been a fun distraction from the daily news and things that depress or make me anxious. I once heard about a study years ago that said spending time doing something you enjoyed as a child that brought you joy may have the same effect. And I feel that is true. At least with this experience. I just sort of forget about the world around me and focus on the game that makes me happy.. Don't worry, I am safe with my surroundings!
I've been taking mental health breaks from social media. I still go on maybe once or twice a week, but other than that I just don't bother. Sometimes it just feels like a waste of time. Scrolling and scrolling. Who ever thought we'd become this sort of society? I mean, it's good because it brings us together - but at times I feel it brings us apart in the same sense.
Promised Memories is still going strong. In May I'm going to find a new platform to share it on. On Comic Fury it has gotten so much support and each day I log on to read new comments and see a new subscriber when they do makes my heart fill with happiness. It's such a powerful feeling to create something like a comic or a story.
Here on Dreamwidth I've found some new friendly faces to talk to and get to know. That has been a nice experience. I love talking to many different people and learning about them and their lives. Also two new Pokemon Go players from here! Whoot woot! :-p That's been a fun, nice surprise.
My medications have been helping I think. Later in April I go in to talk about them and see how they are doing. I did notice bouts of depression over the weekend, but I feel like that was mostly directed at a video game and not feeling smart or quick enough for it. So I've taken some days off from playing that. It may be weird, but things like that I just want to stay away from for now. I'd rather put my energy on what makes me feel good and happy.
I'm trying to think of more to update you guys on, but I think this may be it for now. April will be a busy month, but it'll be a good one I think. I have art related projects to do and more spring cleaning. I hope all of you are doing well.
