It has been a while since I wrote here. I feel that so much has happened, more in a few months than in the couple years prior. I am enjoying a moment of respite and thought that reflecting a bit would be time well spent.
I haven't worked on Realmify in a while. My TTRPG time was prioritised to run a short campaign instead, which was well received. The campaign setting was inspired by the Cairn region generation procedure, so I did gain some more practical knowledge in that regard. This is something I would like to talk about in its own time.
Work wise, thanks to therapy, I am doing well despite the rising challenges. I am very happy about what therapy led me to do so far. It is time and money consuming, but I would have benefited from it much earlier in my life. Well, better now than later. I still need time to process the labels that were assigned to me, although they could help communicate some of my perceived differences to others.
Expression wise, except for TTRPG I have struggled creating as I have been so very much busy. I've finally found a place I want to settle in for the next 5 years, at least. Which is not something I've ever had as an adult. The procedure to get that place under my name are long, costly and scary. But I think I will be very happy there. I will finally have the canvas for the garden I dream of.
Running wise, I joined a trail-running association and ran a couple competitive runs too. It is also an experiment to socialise. I am on friendly but distant terms with most people there. I do envy how people joining the club later than I did appear to navigate conversations more skilfully than I can manage. As therapy revealed, my socialising difficulties might be neurological and this gives me a new lens to interpret that.
World wise, chaos abounds. The world is changing faster than I was expecting it to on so many fronts. I am in a privileged position where I don't suffer much comparatively, but politically and environmentally it really does not look good, even for the next decade. Where can I be useful? How to stay sane? It's hard to figure out.
It will be enough for today. Improbable reader, may your time be peaceful and pleasant.
