Has it really been a year???

Oh yes.....it has. Oh my. A year? Since the pandemic started....

Why does it feel like it JUST happened a million years ago? HA. Time is strange. Time is subjective. What is it even? I won't even go into reflection. This shit is still processing...being uploaded into the cloud of my brain. Hopefully the skies will clear up soon. 

They are clearing up, actually. Slowly and surely. 

Right now, I'm sitting on the porch of my apt in Columbia Heights. My dog, Benji, is happily gnawing on a frozen Kong toy that's been stuffed with wet food. It's beautifully warm outside, alternating from putting my sweater back on because my arms are getting toasty from the eager sunlight, or because this slight windchill has me saying "oooOOOoo, it's a leeetle cheeeely weeely!". 

I'm listening to a Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify, currently "White Wall" by Satoshi and Makoto is playing and it's taking me to super lax headspace with a tinge of upbeat energy. 

I'm out here because I'm in a determined state to get my shit together. Lately it's felt like a constant state of it, but I can feel all the pieces coming together. I like to think this is just a result of a growth mindset....I'm always looking to level up. But since I'm still healing from life traumas, I have just the right amount of insecurity to give my personality some charm ;)

This is about discipline and working day by day, building habits. I've gotten to a place where I can take care of my physical and mental health (working out, eating balanced meals, getting enough sleep...the works), so I'm ready to make some moves. 

Oh but quick life updates: 
1) have a dog!!! He's a Silky Terrier Mix. He was a foster fail. I love Benji. <3
2) I left my last job working at the acting conservatory. It was the right choice for me and I'm grateful.
3) I'm currently working for a tech company that hires actors to improvise and create simulations using VR and AI to help people develop soft skills in the workplace. It's a really badass job and I still can't believe I got it. It's only PT for now, so I have this extra time to do more for myself!

Those are the big ones. 

I'll be writing more about some things I'm currently invested in like therapy, Clubhouse, fitness, and building a business. WoooOOOOoooT.
