Thank youuu
Most of the recovery process is over and I’ll always have pain here n there now but it could always be worse!

Ideally I want to make it a place where customers and baristas alike and keep a connection with the language they study/are raised around so everyone gets more out of each visit other than hospitality c:

Probably International Studies, and maybe with some entrepreneurship classes bleh

too real, working in the health system/health adjacent science system is the best way to get overworked. I’ve never met a nurse that said they worked somewhere well-staffed with healthy work-life balances.

Ooo, very smart person, very STEM

hell yeah we love a good chemical balancer.

literally, any job at full time hours is too much, i hate capitalism with my whole soul

haha ty ty

yesss i need to stop losing my mind on a monthly basis because of my period because why tf are our bodies like this

that’s understandable. late stage capitalism and corporatism is the worst.

mm, hormones. extra good luck to you then, because apparently doctors do not like treating female health related issues as anything less than medieval.

ty ty, I got a female doctor, luckily, so hoping she’ll be understanding

fingers crossed, I’ve heard some bad things about female doctors too (because some of it is just the system they have to work in) but hopefully she’ll do her job

I remember you! :grin: Idk how much we interacted…but I remember you :wink:

How’s it been in terms of life, writing, hobbies, or anything else you’d like to talk about?


New… I self-published my YA fantasy book, Between Roses (paperback has illustrations!). That’s new. Oh, and I have a YouTube channel now. Fox_in_Thoughts

It’s faceless stuff.

And I’m trying to write every day for a challenge I’m hosting on IG. A one-month challenge to consistently show up for your writing project :blush:

Oh, hi! I remember you! I’m not sure if you remember me though :see_no_evil:

I’m doing okay-ish. I graduated college earlier this year, moved in with family in Chicago, and am looking for a job. I am in a state of Schrödinger’s Panic :tm: with how I have such little time to start employment before I have to leave the country :sob: but when I’m not panicking, I’m making new friends in the city and hanging out with them. Mostly on Mondays at an in-person writers’ meetup :eyes:

I hope you’re okay! Or mostly okay. Or okay-er than me :joy:

Welcome back! I do remember you.

Ngl, a lot has happened the last few years.

A dog wandered into our yard and we kept her for a few years, plus adopted a second cat.

Two friends started lessons at a riding stable.

Have had sadness about things happening with several animals (the dog and my first cat, several friends’ and a cousin’s dogs and cats, two cats and a dog of YouTubers, plus a dog I personally know who’s currently sick).

In better news from the one right above this, I’ve been practicing flute and drawing.

I watched an 8-episode show on YouTube (a friend watched it for the first time on Halloween and suggested it to me).

And coming up with way too many story ideas-

Hii!! Pretty good, thank you! Not as many updates as some of the folks on this thread :laughing: but boring is also good! I did get a dog, though, and a promotion at work last year. So, can’t complain, much as I actually hate working corporate for a living lol.

But 2025 has been pretty good for my writing, I’ve given up on Wattpad and hanging out full-time on Inkitt, where I’ve met a neat little group of writers. And my corporate paycheck buys dog kibble and plane tickets, so I make it work :rofl:

Heyo, I remember your name! Sounds like you’ve been through a ton, hope you’re doing alright

I’m doing pretty well, had a lot of things happen these past few years:

Finished writing a novel and started another, plus some short stories.

Crocheted a bunch of plushies and played some videogames.

Hung out with friends every now and then.

Finished grad school this year, got licensed, and started working in pharmacy.
