New Year, Same Old Me

I think I'm back. I think I'm going to try and write more here again. I hardly come home anymore, and I could probably keep people up to date with me here. We'll see. Today is a productive day, and I don't have a ton of those. Maybe I'll just make a list of things that are going on/have happened recently, and you all can text or email me if you have an questions. Or concerns. Whatever the case may be.

The biggest change at the moment is that I've started taking medication for my anxiety/depression. I also go to counselling, occasionally, but it is SO expensive. And the place I'm going doesn't get covered by my insurance. But I'm figuring it out. Aside from a bit of nausea whenever I increase the dosage (as per the doctor's recommendation. I don't just take whatever I want whenever.), the effects have been pretty positive. I am able to do normal people things, like going to the mall, without freaking out. It's wonderful. I think I'm a bit more talkative now too, which is driving my one sister crazy. But I am very happy. I do have bad days still, we all do, but they're not as often. I am very open to talking about all this sort of stuff, so if you're ever wondering anything, just ask.

I am working towards becoming a sign language interpreter. It's going to be a long journey, and a lot of work, but I think I've found something that is worth the hard work. I haven't really had that before. I am very excited to see where this could take me. It's not a path I ever would have seen for myself when I graduated high school, but I am so ready.

I feel like something big is coming. This year is going to be a good one. I am looking forward to whatever God has in store for me. I will do things that scare me, I will take steps into unfamiliar places, and I will trust that He's got me. I am surrounded by family who are also my friends, and friends who have become family.

I'll try to keep you all updated.
