Where Has the Time (and the Barb) Gone...
Wow. 2017 has been kicking my ass. I can’t believe it’s already October. It seems like it was just February and all those months in between just got lost. I feel like I got a bit lost. Sure, there have been times I’ve not been as in touch with my LJ before, but this has marked the longest time I’ve been away. Not posting. Not reading my flist.
Not present.
I’m sorry about that, all. I can’t even say it was a total wreck of a year. I got a promotion at work, and I’m helming our two largest clients, which is a lot of challenge and pressure, but those things tend to motivate me. It was the year of the live-action Beauty and the Beast and Wonder Woman. I’ve read some good books, remain hooked on Critical Role, have some new favorite television shows. I went to DragonCon.
However, I’ve also found myself stressed and worried and tired and just not feeling great. The political climate here at home makes me anger and sad in equal measure. It has just been hard finding things that make me feel excited and upbeat. Even things that normally make me feel excited and upbeat.
Today, I gave myself a shake and told myself, “Self, get the fuck over it. There’s plenty of crap you can cling to, but all that does is leave you covered in shit.” And frankly, who wants to spend their time covered in shit?
So in order to not end 2017 in that condition, I’m going to try not to wallow in misery and remind myself of the good that I’m not seeing when I do that. I’m going to celebrate the things I do love instead of lingering over the things that sap my energy and make me feel bad.
This was one of the places I could come to recharge and talk about fun stuff with friends, and if any of y’all are still out there reading, I’m hoping we can have some fun as we close out 2017.
