Lyrical Logic

As per usual, my life has been nothing short of chaos. My mad dash to the finish line in order to finish this book has me up all hours of the night. While also navigating the feelings of acceptance of the state of our world, it makes for long days and sometimes sleepless nights. Because the state of our world does in fact terrify me most days. Especially knowing that members of my family are now targets.

As I start to look towards the rest of the year, it feels like there is too much to do. Between work and home, it feels like it will be non stop until roughly November, just in time for the holidays. The reality is that it probably is a lot better than my anxiety is allowing me to think it is, but I need to get over that hump.

I have had to take a stand where I will only look at the news for less than an hour a day because it has been completely awful for my mental health to do it otherwise. I have enough going on between moving, buying a new car, my work load, and trying to take care of myself that I just cannot allow myself to literally doom scroll through the news of the day. I’ve considered taking an extended break from social media, and every day it sounds better and better.

Here is your weekly reminder that you are loved, you are smart, you are important, and the world is a better place with you in it. And no matter what happens, I’ll be right here. Waiting for you each week (and doing NaPoWriMo again in April) to share words of encouragement and eventually something other than my life updates. It took some time to figure out what I wanted this to be, and now I have a better idea.

For now, I’ll sign off, and keep working on finishing the book. Just a reminder it will be published April 25, 2025. Two years after my life fell apart. And will be the beginning of a beautiful new chapter of my life.
