proof of life

i am alive.

july was a hard month. i ended a friendship that meant a lot to me, and have been grappling with the emptiness that comes after. i have been in the throes of dealing with workplace harassment. my body hurts every day from the labor that i do that on my days off i almost never have energy to go out. i gave up on being vegetarian and subsequently pescatarian. i held space for a friend who has also been spiraling in their mental health and was in between housing situations. i also started smoking like crazy again (but have since quit again again).

long story short, july sucked ass. but i'm coming out of the other end of it okay. we've been through worse, and there has at least been some better news.

i found a medication that seems to have reduced my tics drastically! ingrezza, i don't know how you do it (well i kind of know how you do it) but thanks for making my life a little more bearable on a daily basis. i also have a trip coming up that i'm really excited for - i think having some time away from the stressors of daily life will do me some good. i also have spent a lot of time making my bedroom feel really cute and cozy :)

i hope august will be better to me.
