Life Update ~ I Officially Qualify for the Job I’ve had for Six Months??

Hey. Hi. Hello. Howdy. It’s been a hot minute. I’ve had some pretty big things happen so I figured it was about time a wrote an update.

First things first, the main points…

Okay, so technically I got my GED. But it’s kind of the same thing? I officially qualify for my job now! Everyone is asking what I’m doing next and to be honest… I don’t know. Finally finishing high school has been something I’ve been working towards since 2014. I’ve had this goal for 6 years. That’s a long time. I don’t know if I want to go to college. I don’t know what I’m doing next academically, but my goal for the rest of 2020 is to finish the book that I’ve been working on for 6 years. Whatever comes after that? Who knows.

and this leads into my next point….

I’m trying to write whenever I can and I have a goal to finish this book by the end of the year. I know people will ask so Imma try to sum it up just a little bit.

All of the Stars is a YA contemporary about a girl who has been abandoned at boarding school in Canada by her mother. She meets a cute boy in a coffee shop. things get very emo, there’s family drama, and chocolate cake in a thrift store. this is a very simplified explanation of the book.

The book is better than that 5 second explanation, I SWEAR. I mean, it better be. I’ve spent 6 years writing it.

I’m unsure if I ever mentioned this, but back in January I got a full time job as a church receptionist. Which kind of explains why I haven’t read much and why I also haven’t blogged much. Because, well, my job is a full time job? Also between writing and working on my GED I really just didn’t have time/energy. I also moved from a small town to a city in March so that took a lot of time/energy/adjustment. I need to work on time management and get better about posting more! I can’t guarantee anything, though, especially with my next announcement…

So this year has been a lot. It’s taken a huge toll on my mental health(another reason for the lack of posts). So about 2 months ago I started looking into the process. A month ago I got my ESA prescription letter and applied for a dog. I’m meeting her on Saturday! So this is either going to boost my productivity(because cuddling with a dog) or make my absence worse(because cuddling with a dog). I think it’s going to be really good for me and my therapist agrees 🙂 I already have a name picked out from a book, so… I’ll be announcing her and her name when she’s mine on twitter and instagram!

So a lot has happened. On top of all of this I also went through my first breakup and discovered tiktok and taylor swift released a new album and I turned 19 and life is kind of crazy right now. But I’m thankful for y’all for sticking around(even though I haven’t been posting I’m still getting views every day which is crazy to me!!)
