life update 2k25 edition
meowdy!
been a few years again, longer than expected. strangely, i feel like i don't have too much to report, but i know i do
i left my job to pursue fursuit making, so that's been interesting. never was a furry, still don't really feel like a proper one, but i like making the suits a lot. figured i may as well make some money off of it :P in fairness, though, the company i worked for has had signs that they're not going to last much longer anyway, and last i heard they almost closed down this year. in a way, it feels like i dodged a bullet
that said, this year hasn't been the kindest to me and my partner. the economy being terrible and the tariff situation has directly impacted our income, and my commission work is still spotty as i'm working on building my customer base. as i'm writing this, we currently are having electrical issues that are causing most of the kitchen to have no power, as well as the ac/heat, and our water heater to boot. thank fuck for space heaters lol
we went from essentially standing in the doorway of middle class to having it slammed shut in our face over the span of a year. it's been humbling, in a lot of ways. makes me realize we weren't very smart with our money the past several years, too complacent. it's a hard lesson, but one we needed to learn. some life lessons come at a steep cost, but that doesn't make them any less necessary
what else?
hm. realized i'm not as cis as i once assumed. heavily contemplating looking into hrt, though what i want to achieve with it isn't anything too drastic. i'm happy being a woman, for the most part, but just... don't quite feel like it fits, yknow? like. woman+, if that makes sense. it's been interesting coming to that realization
got diagnosed with adhd last year, which makes a lot of things from my life make a lot more sense. highly suspect i'm on the spectrum as well, though that's not something i'll bother pursuing of a diagnosis. even if i'm wrong, some of the tips i've gathered for managing autism have made my life easier, so i'll call that a win. noise-cancelling headphones have been a game changer
been going to anime cons for the past few years, and every time i go i'm sad i never went when i was younger lol. feels like i missed out in some ways, but in others i'm grateful. i can go now and actually have disposable income to spend, and make my own schedule for how to spend my time
joshanime2 and i had our ten year wedding anniversary this year, which feels wild. i'm so grateful every day to be with her, and i can't imagine my life without her in it <3 she brings me a joy i can't even describe
no kids still! we never really want any, though we do still technically have time to change our minds. we're both in our 30s now, and we're both finally starting to feel more our actual age. in a lot of ways, though, i still feel like i'm in my late teens or early 20s, in that my overall interests and personality haven't changed much. ironically, though, i've actually kind of lost interest in anime, and watching tv in general, though i still do sometimes. it just always feels like i have something better to do with my time now, and most of the time that's very true! more often than not in the past few years it's been a video game, or more specifically a video game fandom, occupying my mind. i genuinely am not much of a gamer at all, but i got super into fnaf security breach several years ago, and now voices of the void has consumed my life. i tend to go all in with fandoms still lol, that much hasn't changed
i have no friends in the meatspace, which sounds sad (and kind of is), but i've made some great friends online over the years, including a few in the past year or so. one in particular is a lovely person i met through votv, and i'm so happy we met <3 i adore it so much
not much else is happening, really. lost a few grandparents, gained a new niece, got into fishkeeping as a hobby, started phasing out of lolita fashion. so it goes!
i'll update again whenever! very probably in another year or two or four when i remember next. hope this place is still around then. thanks to everyone that stopped by and commented last time!
~see ya!
