Last week was absolutely crazy. In my offline life, I was... well, very offline. Lots of therapy, lots of sports, and when I got home, I felt horrible. So when I did manage to write, it was hard to get anything that I loved onto the page. And honestly? That's kinda sad for me. I love writing.
My mental health was in the dumps. My physical health... well, I wasn't sick but I was sore and constantly exhausted. And my emotions were strained and all over the place. Overall, I felt like I was not myself and was instead this maniac who would've loved to run around screaming until she fell onto the floor sobbing.
Yeah, I'd say that about summarizes my week.
Despite that, though, there was only one post that I didn't manage to post. I was hoping to and I got part of it, but I didn't manage and ended up instead posting a description of how I was feeling and why I was posting something so strange. I did end up spilling a poem onto that page—so it wasn't entirely abnormal—but it wasn't what I wanted it to be.
I can't promise much of anything this week, but I can at least give an overview on what I'm working on, whether it takes weeks or the project gets scrapped or whatever else. So... without further ado... the rough plans for some potential upcoming posts.
- Review of "The Upside of Being Down," by Jen Gotch
- Review of "The Weight of Zero," by Karen Fortunati
- Autism Spectrum Disorder 101: The Truths Vs. The Lies
- Two different (currently untitled) poems
I've got a few requests that I'm still working on—some of which are gonna take a while because I don't want to say something wrong—but I honestly don't know what I'll manage to do this week. I'm starting with those and I'm hoping I'll get to do another couple posts this week. That said, we shall see.
I also have some tests to take this week, so that'll take more time away from my writing, thereby putting another stressor on the "do I have enough writing time?" thing. Sports is potentially winding down, but now I have a few last tests to take before summer actually 'starts.'
Anyways, there's the long of it. The short of it is: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING AND I'M SO SORRY BUT THIS IS GONNA BE WEIRD FOR A WHILE UNTIL LIFE CHILLS OUT. < insert muffled screaming here >
Hope y'all's week is a bit more restful than mine seems projected to be! (/hj)Thank you so much for reading!! :)
