2025 - Cautiously Positive

While the world burns and the country elects a fascistic rapist to lead it, I have actually been working on myself as of late. Been writing more again after a two month lull at the end of last year. For the many ups and downs last year, it was still a positive one for me overall. Got two classes done, made a friend wrote more words for my novel and fan fics than ever, and went to a bunch of cool concerts. I bought myself a PC to finally replace my old laptop that has been dying for well over a year now. Also bought a new car with help from my step-dad to replace my super old hand me down car that was also on its last legs. Leaves me with not much money left overall, but those were two major investments for myself and now I am not spending 1000$ every year on car repairs and I am not having to struggle with a half broken slow laptop when doing school work. 

I also started therapy at the end of the year and made a new friend at the start of this year. So this post will probably more of a post for myself. A time capsule of where I was at the start of the year. I am expecting more downs than ups this year, but at least I am doing well in the things I have some bit of control over. 2025 means more cons. I am super excited for Anime Boston again. The latest friend I made also cosplays and goes to cons so that will be a major plus. I still have a handful of major decisions to make and adult chores to get to, but I am hoping that comes with time. 

My struggles with ADHD and depression while still crippling aren't shutting me down completely. While there are very few high points, the low points aren't as low nor as frequent as before. Barring the post election depression, I have recovered and will live more out of spite for the sacks of shit running the show than my for myself. But not to dwell, I woke up at a decent time today, had my second coffee, will have leftover spagetti for dinner and will hopefully make more progress on my novel.
