Writing towards the future

Writing this one without much rhyme or reason in the WordPress editor directly, just so it is directly my thoughts put to the screen. Also not my usual posting day but an end of year post should probably come on the right day.

Putting out new posts and stories to this site has definitely been slow this year, but the very good reason for that is my day job takes up the majority of my time and usually I have other things going on in the evening which makes story progress slow.

This has lead to me feeling more satisfied with myself when I put out story pieces though, as I have not been pressuring myself to hit a self-imposed deadline. I can enjoy my writing work for what it is: something fun and on the side, as an outlet of creativity.

The year in general has been interesting for me, I have started my job, fell in love with QA as an occupation, lost friends (either by my own fault or through general degradation over time), gained friends, found new interests, developed existing interests, and most importantly, actually got my life on a path I am happy with.

It still requires a lot of work, and will require me to continue putting all of my effort to improving myself, but something my therapist has told me in the past combined with my love of writing gives me something to hold onto.

I write my own truth. I am writing my own story at this very moment. And I want Rambles to reflect that.

2022 is a year of great transition and change for me. I am pursuing gender affirming healthcare and pushing myself to move into my own space in order to have a safe environment in which to assert myself as a beautiful, lesbian, trans woman.

Going forward Rambles will continue to host my stories because part of my mission is to make this a showcase of my characters, but I want Rambles to reflect the other part of me, the true me. I want my writings to be a celebration of who I am, sharing stories of joy about being trans and gay, to give something positive back to the world, and maybe give someone the courage to find their true self.

No matter what, I am going to keep writing. Cause with five different characters now in my repertoire, there is no shortage of worlds to bring to life.

See you all next year ❤
