If anyone is ever feeling suicidal please dm me. I'm not a certified anything, but I've been close to suicide.

I am always here to be a nonjudgmental listening ear. I may not be able to respond right away because I have a job and other adult obligations, but I will always respond eventually.

I can't convince you to live. I can try, but ultimately that's on you.

What I can do is be your moral support cheerleader here on the Fediverse.

So I'm here.

And you will never bother me.

Decided to make another account for my everyday general tomfoolery: @mara_cav

I'll still be active here with writing and whatnot, but I'll be my unfiltered self there.

Note: If I make grammatical mistakes in my toots, I'm just mentally stimulated at the time. If I delete and retoot it's likely because of cringe grammar.

Currently working on nixing that with some grammar workbooks.

I'm always down to chat, so hit me up if you wanna talk or just share memes.

Debating on doing a post weekly, or every two weeks, on my write.as. It won't be anything creative, honestly just mostly personal reflective pieces (with the odd commentary if I feel brave). I already do some personal reflection on here, but in smaller chunks since we only have so many characters.

This will probably be hard to maintain during NaNoWriMo, but it'll be a nice breather in between all the creative writing I'll be doing.

So I think I know what I'm going to write for NaNoWriMo. I feel a bit weird 'cause I won't be doing a "traditional" NaNo where I'll be starting fresh on Nov 1st. But I know I can write at least 50,000 words on this universe, not including what I've already written.

Gonna loosely follow the prep course and go from there.

I absolutely hate it when people I know send me chainmail. The kid in me can rationalize the spooky chainmail. But the 'positive' chainmail is manipulative af. Like what the actual fuck?

Example:
"an anGEl JUsT tHOUghT oF yoU. SHARe THIs TO 5000 ANGeLs yOU'RE ThInkiNg Of aND GoOd shit WILL HappEN to You. If YOU dOn't shaRE ThiS, tHEn yoU'RE NOt aN anGeL!¡!"

Fuck that manipulative bs. Not sending a text does not make someone a damn angel nor devil.

Other than that, good morning world. ☀️☀️☀️

So after I finish The Only Sales Guide + Marie Kondo's book, Chasm City will be the book for entertainment. And for itsnpartner I will probably finish The Power of Habit book and then tackle other books from there. Only reading two books max at a time.

Not sure how I'm going to figure in other workbooks though, hm.

I like reading, but I've been making excuses not to. That's gotta stop now.

So I'd like to get to a point where I'm always reading a single book for pleasure and a single book for development.

Because the stoic workbook is an ongoing read, I just listed it to have it out there.

Reading multiple books at once enables my brain to be more scattered than it already is. And that's no bueno for comprehension.

Currently reading:
- The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
- The Only Sales Guide You'll Ever Need by Anthony Iannarino
- A Handbook for New Stoics by Gregory Lopez and Massimo Pigliucci

Hiatus:
- The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

To read ASAP:
- Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds
- Elfen Lied Omnibus Vol. 1
