Uh oh. I lost track of time! I have been doing a lot of mental health work and have been experiencing that whole “It gets worse before it gets better” sort of thing. I have been trying my best to stay active. I try to plan at least one social event outside the house every week. I am going to start volunteering to walk dogs at the animal shelter (starting tomorrow!). I am doing what I can for myself, but it has been hard. And I still don’t start therapy until October.
I have finished reading Dungeon Meshi! I really enjoyed the whole series and was satisfied with the ending. I may sit down to watch the anime at some point. I have been picking up a lot of other mangas in its place. I picked up Made In Abyss, which is a hard one to admit lmfao. I have heard the whole “this is a great series but you feel weird recommending it to anyone” thing before and was curious about the series. I saw people comparing it to DunMeshi and like… there are surface level similarities, but that is where it kinda ends. I just finished volume 3 (the part with Mitty and Nanachi) and while I don’t,,,,, care for some of the stuff in this, I am very invested in the story and metaphors being presented so far. I am also borrowing all this manga through my library system, so it is not like I am giving the mangaka money lol.
I have also picked up a few new mangas from the library. They are Hirayasumi, Gokurakugai, and Marriage Toxin. I thought all of them were interesting enough that I would pick up the second volumes when my library gets them! I might do a post with some mini reviews/my thoughts so far sometime soon!
Speaking of which, I might be looking into doing more reviews or using prompts for upcoming posts. I think part of the reason I haven’t been posting is I didn’t know what to post about. Last year I read the book Unmasking Autism and tried doing the Special Interest Week prompts on my cohost account, but kinda got busy/forgot and never finished it all. I might revisit it here and slowly go through writing them as I feel like it. I will probably go ahead and rewrite the prompts I already did. I am not even going to bother reading the responses I wrote before (and I probably barely remember them lol). Here are the prompts if you wanna see them early
Going to keep it short today! Just wanted to make a post to update that I am not dead! Lol. I have actually been meaning to do this for a bit but I have been kinda paralyzed about doing it for some reason? I bounce around from project to project to project, but I feel guilty coming back to a project that I shelved for whatever reason. It really sucks but it happens to me a lot! It is something I am trying to work on though I guess, so making this post is part of that process.
Anywho! I hope you all have a lovely day~ I think I am going to go do some garden tending with my gf and then chill for the rest of the day. :)
