Whats your life like? (Time Capsule Thread)

[galaxyd]

i just moved in to a new place halfway across the city with my partner, her sister, and our other roommate who is a really pleasant disabled woman who is about 15 years older than the rest of us. the house is really cute, but it has some MOLD problems in the bathroom, and i am always extreeemely paranoid about mold. so that's fun!! but the place is newer than the old place, as well as closer to a lot of public amenities such as a bus/train station, a mall with an attached grocery store, a library, and a leisure center! all of these are within a 5-15 minute walk, which is a huge deal for us :D

my partner's sister ate complete shit on a public electric scooter the other day. she chipped two teeth and completely lost another. she also is scraped up like craazy. her lip is swollen, her cheek and chin are scraped like crazy, her BRAND NEW GLASSES got scratched, and her eyelid even got scratched somehow??? we've been telling her off for using them for ages since both my partner and i have a lot of bad opinions about them, so hopefully this maybe scares her away from using it again?? but also she was apparently inebriated. so.

im taking summer classes, which all work into either one another or classes i have taken the past two semesters!! it's so fun, but each semester is half the length, being 6 weeks long instead of the regular 13. i am not a super disciplined person, so it is both SUPER FUN and also HELL ON EARTH! i hope that the fast speed helps me to not burn out in terms of attention. though i may or may not be typing this in my anthropology class. it isn't my fault that i am super good at feminism and it's baby's first feminism class today !!!!

My life?

To put it shortly, a mess.

I've moved back in with my dad because of the economy and my health issues. I've got something like half a dozen specialist doctors saying that I need to be medically retired because of a lot of stuff. I tried to count the things the other day and got to 10 before I realized that I was losing track of what I've already counted. But the government representatives here are all "[redacted] is able to move a plate from one room to another, so [redacted] should be working fulltime". Yes, that was their latest reasoning. Oh, and I'm nonbinary and I'm not allowed to use my preferred name officially. And according to my government nonbinary people don't exist. I'm also aroace and they decided that conversion therapy should stay legal. I just loooove it here. Oh, and they waited 2 years past when they were supposed to give me a social worker.

Thing got a bit better when my parents separated a few years ago. I had been wishing for that for decades. I'm not in contact with anyone on the other side of the family tree. But I do have a close friend who is my chosen family. A big improvement.

I liked drawing back in the day. And with the economy being what it is, I attempted to turn it into a side hustle a few years ago. That went about as well as can be expected based on what I wrote in the longer paragraph above. So for my own health, I've given up on that. Then I went through a time when I couldn't get myself to draw because I wasn't living up to the societal expectations about it. I was comparing myself to healthy people who can produce stuff a lot more regularly. And I wanted to create a webcomic, but when I looked up advice it seemed like everyone said that you have to have a regular update schedule. And I can't do that. It's physically impossible for me. So it felt pointless to do it if I can't even follow the advice that experienced people give to beginners.

Now I'm slowly getting back into it. I used to be a perfectionist, but I'm better now. I'm willing to try to take the windows of opportunity to do things that I enjoy. And creating things is coming back among those things.
