Writing and Updates

 I have had several ideas for novels in the past several months, most of which have been born from dreams. I will just take a minute to update the reader, as there have been significant strides in my life. I have reviewed how I view my "living situation", and there has been progress in terms of positivity. Like many epiphanies, it is difficult to put into words then change in how I feel about my surroundings, but I will just say that I'm more comfortable.

I have not been blogging lately due to focusing on real life. Throughout the rest of the winter I spent a lot of time reading, and finished several books. I completed Lord of the Rings, 48 Laws of Power, and am trudging through A Song of Ice and Fire, to mention a few of them. I have had two people ask if they can read this blog, and I have mentioned that I do not feel comfortable sharing it. It is a work in progress and I don't know what it will be yet.

It's 4:08 am and I am blogging, meaning that I clearly have something to say, despite the wee hour. I woke up from a dream and my brain just switched on. The bipolar brain. It always seems to be working overtime.

I still have constant tunes and music blasting through my mind at all times. I can quiet the music down a little if I'm relaxed and can constructively use CBT to dodge getting caught up in it. I read a book called "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" by Olivia Telford which was a quick, useful read. I am currently reading "Atomic Habits". I find self-help books to be rather inspiring, to be frank. In any case, my mind is going right now and I felt the need to simply update this blog.

I came to a conclusion that I need more "fun" in my life, so we will be going on certain adventures around the city. We came up with a few. Canada's Wonderland (my favourite), the AGO, an arcade/restaurant/bar venue, the movies (seeing "Michael" next week hopefully), the zoo, and others. I'm hoping that adding "fun" to my life, especially during the good weather, will make me feel sane and increase my enjoyment and lead to further well-roundedness.

I have blogged in the past about a certain person who was in my life again briefly, and who has phased out. A.M., I have concluded, was a good man and it would have been interesting, fun, and fruitful to go around with him for a while. But I closed that door and have a new person with whom I am sharing life. She is great at keeping me level-headed and on track, and is an avid reader herself, which thankfully, is rubbing off on me.

I have thought my blog too personal but as I've been reading it, I think it reads sort of well and is a kind of anonymous report on how things are going with me. I wouldn't mind getting a reader-base though. I am just not sure how one spreads around their blog.
