An Upswing
So, I haven't exactly met my goal of writing every day, but in general I've felt like I've been on a major upswing the last few days so I'm just riding this wave for as long as I can. This is mildly surprising as my birthday (June) last year is what sparked the initial depressive episode I had that ultimately lead to a sustained downer period this past winter, but I'm not questioning it too much because I finally feel great and I want to take advantage of it as much as I can.
I suspect part of what inspired this is that I've finally started making summer plans in earnest and I'm EXCITED. I did a lot of stuff last summer last year and I had a lot of fun, but that was mostly borne out of a desire to "do stuff while I'm still young". I'm turning 28 and I'm feeling a lot less down about that now since I've devoted a lot of time to mentally adjusting myself to it. I've also made some fixes to my diet and exercise routine recently, and I feel much more focused and less tied down to the arbitrary media consumption goals that kept me going when I was feeling low.
The one area where I've kind of fallen short is I haven't been writing like I had wanted to, but maybe once I fall more into a set rhythm I'll find the time and energy to devote to that.
My Tentative Summer Schedule:
6/22: Personal Plans
6/29 - 6/30: Family Weekend Trip
7/3 - 7/7: Anime Expo @ Los Angeles
7/13: ConnectiCon @ Hartford
7/27 - 7/28: Personal Plans
8/8 - 8/11: Friend Weekend Trip
