Okay, so I know in my recent update, I said things are on pause. This might seem like a contradiction, but if you've been reading my blog long enough (or if you know anything about INFJs), you know I'm full of contradictions. The pause hasn't ended, but then again, it only affects certain facets of this project. Meaning, I'm not relying on anyone to update my poorly neglected Patreon page other than myself, which by the way, I've updated it. FINALLY. Remember how pathetic it was? Yeah, ...

Fighting Cravings
I’m sorry for my quiet, my absence, my lack of musings. Life has been unbearably difficult, and I’m constantly battling giving into the inevitable burn-out I dread is coming.

Afterwards, as I retrospectively sifted ...
Growing Confidence
Jumping right in, I’m not quite sure where to begin. I’ve been in the middle of chaos for over a month now. May and June are always terribly busy for me. Too many birthdays and occasions.

Unfortunately, this has left little room in my brain for musings with the maelstrom I’ve been foolishly, aimlessly dog-paddling in for weeks now. Now, none of this is all bad, mind you. In fact, I think it all to be ...
Slowing Down
I find myself needing to slow down. There was a song Emmy Rossum released years ago. I feel the embodiment of those sentiments. “Moving so fast, I’m forgetting my purpose…” Do you ever feel like that? Like you get so caught up in the daily blur of distractions, this business of Life, you forget why you’re even doing what you doing? You forget yourself and slowly succumb to the madness of survival? For me, usually such feelings manifest whenever I have an idea, and I pursue it to ...
