I've been away for so long, I've forgotten how to navigate Tumblr well. 😳 I'll figure it out eventually. In the meantime... I'll be gaming. Playing my way through Final Fantasy XVI.

a decade ago, 20 children and 6 staff members were shot and killed in the tragic sandy hook elementary school shooting. today, a decade later, 14 children and 1 teacher had their lives taken at robb elementary school in texas. it’s been a decade, and there has been nothing done to prevent this from ever happening again. may they all rest in peace.

I'd like to just give my brief review of adulthood.

Paying bills: Don't like that I have to spend money to do it, but it gives me a weird rush of endorphins.

Going to work: Got a damn good job that I actually enjoy. So good all around.

Parenting: Okay, I made these humans and now they give my attitude back...and they're all boys. I feel like the powers that be could have at least made one of them a girl if they're going to throw MY attitude back at me.

Housecleaning: This is a toss up. I both enjoy and don't enjoy these. I have my days where I get a lot done and I feel so accomplished. Then there are the days where I'm like f@$! this housecleaning business and it takes a lot of mental bargaining for me to do one thing. (It also doesn't help that I have three little DIYs that can destroy what I just cleaned in a fifth of the time it took me to clean it).

So as an overall rating, I give adulthood a 2 out of 5 stars. The brief endorphins are barely worth it. Do not recommend. 😑

Thoughts leading up to Valentine's Day

Whoever decided that Valentine's Day is the day we exchange chocolate and gifts should be hugged. Because they probably need it.

This may end up being known as un unpopular opinion...but I've never been super fond of Valentine's Day. The ideas that surround it have always kind of baffled me. Don't get me wrong, I do celebrate it by showing my friends and family that I love them, but I show my friends and family that I love them every day! I don't really put that much emphasis on the day itself, because in all the years I've been in a relationship, I have not been into the holiday all that much.

But that may be because my husband and my's idea of a romantic evening is ordering in and playing video games together.

I also have some trauma surrounding the holiday, but I won't bore you with that pile of dung...

I guess the point of my post today is...I think we need to normalize loving each other and showing it every day. No, don't go out and go broke on gifts and chocolate...just make an effort every day to let those you love know that you love them. Tomorrow is never promised.

Thoughts of a writer, reader, gamer...

Okay, so I am not the greatest at blogging, or vlogging, or anything of this nature, so I'm just going to start by saying that if you find yourself reading this, I'm sorry if this seems ramble-y and janky.

I've always loved writing. Especially after I was introduced to the world of fanfiction when I was in middle school. I began reading other people's writing, and as I've gotten older, I've noticed a few qualities that keep me coming back to a person's style of writing. Things like...how they hooked me in the first place, how they write certain characters, how much time and effort they put into their writing. I've found that a lot of what I love about fanfiction writers tend to be the same things that I love about the authors of my favorite books. It's a little funny how the two go so hand in hand.

As a reader, I feel that I've had a lot of authors, both of novels and of fanfiction, to look up to in terms of my own writing. I have so much writing that I would love to share with people, but I worry that others may hate it. Recently, however, I've had the utmost pleasure of connecting with one of my favorite authors in fanfiction, @tinyglamdramaqueen. If you have not read their work, you should! But by connecting with them, I have felt a little more confident in sharing my writing. I have been highly considering posting some of my fanfiction to Ao3 and seeing what the response is. I have not quite decided...but we shall see. I have many OC's that I would absolutely love to share with everyone and I may even eventually try my hand at characterxreader writing.

Now, I also added on the gamer part...well...because I'm a gamer and would love to connect with other gamers and perhaps see if anyone would be interested in gaming on Stardew Valley with me sometime, or some other games! I just brought up Stardew Valley because I recently bought it on Steam (though I've played it for awhile on other platforms). Anyway...I don't know that this will reach anyone who cares...but I hope it does! Thank you if you've made it this far. :)
