It's time I shift focus. Bitching about the president is not good for me. I could do it day after day, getting absolutely nowhere except for a stay at the mental hospital. Politics are bad for my mental health I am learning day after day (actually I've known it for years, I'm just a stubborn bitch). They make me turn me into a borderline manic freak, exposing the real Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde.
But of course I want to use my voice and try and change the world. Will I ever change the world? No, probably not. I'm just another person writing on the internet. Everybody these days is a 'writer'. There's so much content out there that the chances of your work being seen is next to none, and speaking of content, don't even get me started on tv. There's far too much tv these days, how the hell hell do people keep up? Oh that's right! Netflix, Hulu, Amazon! You can binge endless amount of tv until you singe out your eyeballs and they melt in a puddle of white glue. Who needs to go outside and be a functioning adult when we can just sit and bed and rot our eyeballs out until they bleed and puss? Who needs a relationship?
I'll stop. This is the exact reason why I need to shift my focus. Being a miserable bitch doesn't make writing fun. Just ask Dried-Up-Old-Bitter-Writer-Who-Once-Thrived-In-Their-Craft-But-Is-Now Jaded).
All that being said, I'm not going to pretend everything is okay. No, not this girl. If you think I'm going to just sit here looking pretty, taking selfies on Instagram and worrying about what Trump said on Twitter, or what Rihanna is wearing (well that I will worry about), then you got the wrong woman.
I recently completed writing my first novel (IN)VISIBLE GIRL. It took me six years to write it. My deadline is in early August, and if you're wondering, yes that was self promotion. Why not? It took me six miserable years that drove me to the brink of insanity writing a fictionalized version of my teen and young adult life, I might as well do some self-promotion, right? Us indie authors need all the promotion we can get!
My five year anniversary for starting HRT is coming up on the 30th. Yesterday I had my very last therapy session. My therapist said I have come so far and worked so far that I no longer need their services. I'm coming off of prozac since it's been making me feel like a shell of myself---why would I want to feel like that again? That's the reason why I transitioned in the first place. I'm feeling like my old self again. More outgoing, being myself at work, not bottling up inside. I have a really good support system: my girlfriend, my friends at work, and family.
