#74: Rediscovering Myself
Hi, everyone!
I have much to get off my chest in regards to personal rediscovery for this month, so I'm just gonna get right to it, no delays!
I may not have written a single sentence this past month, but DAMN did I go on a self-reflection trip and return with some much-needed answers! Now, keep in mind that I'm still doing research, but I'm noticing a lot of past behaviors that point to me being autistic. Man, I thought that revelation might scare me - it sure confused my parents - but it actually made me look back on my life and certain... events that occurred that make a whole lot more sense through an autistic lens. I of course won't go into any details at the moment; I'm still discovering myself and I don't really want to bog down this blogpost with the many reasons I've come to the conclusion I have. I don't need validation from strangers, after all. Besides, who really reads these blogs other than me anyway, right?? Just know that, even after 27 years on this earth, I'm still learning about myself. It's actually kinda crazy that I can still not understand my own brain despite having it for so long.
On the writing and art front, there is of course no news... but I have had a few breakthroughs in regards to future plot points! Which I think is progress, yeah? So anyway, not much else to report there, but that's nothing new.
On another personal note, juggling family life has become a BIT more manageable. It sure helps that I'm trying to better myself and how I've been handling certain situations that fall into my lap. I know it might be self-deprecating, but I'm starting to believe that part of the problem at home has been me and my attitude this whole damn time. But that's why I'm trying to be better. When I make a mistake or say something wrong, I attempt to make it right almost immediately. I can't change how other people react, so I've been changing my own reactions instead, and it seems to be working...? That or the new meds are helping. Either or, really!
Wow, this has been a more lengthy blog than usual, so if you've read through this far, I applaud you. Thanks for listening to my weird ramblings. I hope you had a decent November. Almost the end of 2022! Man, this year can't end fast enough-!!
I guess I'll see you all next month! In the meantime, please keep spreading the word about my book! <3 Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on any future updates (which includes these blogposts)! Thanks for reading, everyone! Stay safe and stay awesome! <3
