“Z: So no pun intended, since we have some time what have you been up to?
Jan: (long pause) I've been visiting the moments in my life. Not alot of them but every time I take that leap into that swirling red and purple void, feeling Infinity surge through my body. Being pulled into the endless unknown I think about those moments and if it's my last time I wanna be thinking of them.”
- What Damian sent me when I asked for help on what I'm working on. I chopped it up pretty good in the novel
Welp, as of this weekend, all seven members of BTS are officially in the military.
^See? Man, it's gonna be a long year. Jin will be home before the other six so that'll be good but other than that, no BTS until sometime in 2025.
^They'll be back and we'll be here with open arms 💜💜💜
^On their way out, Taehyung and Jungkook decided to bless us
*sighs* Over the weekend I hit a bit of inspiration. I've been writing ever since.
^It started with this cup. While I was watching Gotham, a guy was saying “the therapist” but it was how he said it that caught my attention so I wrote it on my cup to look at it. Next thing I knew, I was like: “The the… Rapist.” wait a second…
^Brie is slowly nudging Juniper out of the way as my favorite character.
Honestly speaking, ever since I decided to write one more part to Agents Of Chaos, I was kinda concerned at how slow the process has been. I got Damian to write me a start off point (Cuz he's amazing. See post quote) and that gave me more inspiration so I've been fiddling with that but other than that, my imagination well has been running a tad low. I've got this tho’. It's time I do something with AOC now that the 3-parts are complete. There's a lot of world building that I wrote too. I'm thinking about writing a “wedding” for Toilyn and Tessa since Tessa won't be making an appearance in what I'm working on. I'll figure it out. 2024's goal is definitely AOC. I don't wanna hear/talk/think about anything else until it’s off the ground.
Why?
^Mo got into college! I'm soooooooo freakishly proud. She got into like, four but this was the one she was aiming for. I'm also feeling inspired. Why? Cuz she wasn't even sure if she wanted to go and once it became a goal, she started working towards it. Not only that, her grades have been on the up and up, mostly honor roll this year too. So how did this end up inspiring me? Cuz I now see what can happen to children who come from positive/supportive backgrounds and it made me feel good about myself as a parent.
Growing up, we as kids were always counted out as never gonna achieve anything. We were basically treated like the limit was the sky. I sometimes wonder where my life would be if I'd grown up in a home where someone was reading my stuff and cheering me towards greatness instead of acting as if failure was in the cards so why bother? And the more I think on it, I feel the need to admit that I've carried this behavior into adulthood. *sighs in clarity*
Next year Mo will become a full adult. I also feel as if I've used parenting as an excuse to not make moves. I want more for me and pretty soon there won't be a kid to hide behind. I also feel as if now is as good a time as any to start walking towards the future I want. Yeah, lack of funds does slow things but it should never stop them. I see that now. My point is, I don't wanna become one of those parents who becomes lost once their kids leave. There's still some fire in me. It's my time. Watch 💜💜💜
Later
PS: Either way, my baby is college student!
PS2: YouTube did some sort of end of the year to show what you listened to throughout the year and...
^Is anybody shocked? *looks around* Nope. Didn’t think so
