081. on turning 29 & trying to follow my curiosity
Added 2023-06-09 21:57:59 +0000 UTCHey y'all!! Here's our first June podcast, and it's a JUICY one -- I didn't intend to talk your ears off for almost an hour but here we are, lmao. I talk quite a bit about how I feel about this new era/chapter in my life, on follow my curiosity and what my creative life looks like, as well as a new DnD character that I'm so excited to play with this weekend hehe >:)
Here's the stuff I mentioned that I wanted to make sure I share with y'all:
- Here's the VOD for my birthday stream!
- Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Unmasking Autism by Devon Price
- Promare!!! this is the trailer, but I bought it on YouTube~
(small tw: I do talk about suicide/suicidal ideation a bit in the beginning -- from around 6:20 to 8:00; it's nothing graphic but I do talk about a specific Very Bad Night in college, in order to more accurately paint a portrait of my current feelings around turning 29 and approaching 30. So!! Just so you know!)
I hope y'all have a beautiful weekend!!! we shall talk soon <3

Hello from the future lol (2024) and I never really comment on things but holy cow I’ve been watching you for years and your content has brought me unending joy and hope consistently, and watching your journey at just living has made me feel much more capable than I ever otherwise would’ve. I’m currently 21 so the college struggle and post pandemic adulthood and late stage diagnosis as a woman is such a mess but I feel that I can still be a beautiful queer creative despite life’s happenings. 💕 Thank you for that

2024-04-23 21:07:53 +0000 UTCThis comment is EXCEEDINGLY late however when you started talking about people commenting and saying they grew with you and that you were the reason they did what they did I knew I had to comment. I’m just now catching up on all of the podcasts I have missed because I had a baby in June. It’s crazy to think about how long I’ve been following you and watching your content and I can honestly say that you are the reason I started and kept up with bullet journaling. Now that I have a little one my journaling has definitely changed but I think you are a big influence in me keeping up with writing down my memories and journaling even if it doesn’t always look the same. I was sad when it started to change but I was reminded of how your journaling changed over time as well and it brought me some peace and closure to what my bullet journal looked like previously. I can’t wait to see how we both grow and continue to change and I hope we both continue to be the happiest we’ve ever been. This is coming from someone who also thought they would never make it to where they are now 🖤

2023-09-06 19:39:57 +0000 UTCI know I'm late to listening to this podcast but when you were talking about being called "childish" by your ex for making accommodations for yourself and you said "I don't think there's any glory or nobility suffering when you don't have to." gave my brain a lightbulb moment 💡 Also, when people give me the "oh, everyone's a little ADHD" "oh, well, we all struggle to do the tasks we don't want to do" I like to say "oh, of course! That's being a human. But the amount that it happens to me, along with a bunch of other symptoms of ADHD, is to a life disabling level. Like how everyone bumps their knee, or can twist an ankle, but they aren't missing their leg. Yes you can become hurt, but you know it's temporary. This is my life." And then I also usually use that to describe medication for ADHD. Medication, doesn't make me not ADHD. The goal is not to become not a neurodivergent person. But to give myself a self-controlled(ish...damn shortages) accomodation in life to help me. Sort of like if I needed a prosthetic leg. It's not the same as getting your leg back, and there's a lot involved with getting and maintaining it. But it helps me keep up in a world that often won't accommodate me in the ways I need. Love your podcast chats makes me feel so much less alone in the world 💛 One because I can hear your words and how your feeling, but reading the comments and knowing that even more people have similar struggles and are here and doing their best 💛💛💛

2023-06-13 21:58:58 +0000 UTCOh yeah man I’m such a big fan and knowing things are going well for you casually makes me happy. Whenever you come up in conversation or someone asked my about one of the postcards I’ll say “my artist, you know the artist I like” as in the artist that I follow and love.❤️ happy birthday

2023-06-13 19:57:28 +0000 UTCIt makes a lot of sense that you’d be so excited about animation since it blends your two careers of visual design and acting! I turned 35 this year and have found my thirties to be so much better than my twenties! Definitely a time when you solidify yourself more. My little sister is your same age and I keep telling her this but she’s yet to believe me 😆 Happy birthday!

2023-06-12 15:55:31 +0000 UTCIt’s so nice to hear you talk about how excited you get about art and animation. I sobbed through the Pixar documentary, something about creative talent just gets me so emotional. I’ve always felt a bit lonely and embarrassed by how excited I get about these things but it’s only up until recently I’m realising I’m not completely alone in this and it’s actually a gift. Also, I’m so so stoked your partner gets you ❤️

2023-06-12 12:31:44 +0000 UTCWoohoo! Happy late Birthday! I found love just before my 30th birthday, started a career just after, and the road to 33 has been a WILD, but fantastic, ride. IMO, your twenties are for mess making and self-discovery and your thirties are for solidifying that sense of self. Bask in it! So happy to see you step into a beautiful new chapter. You are quite the butterfly. <3

2023-06-10 00:46:30 +0000 UTCgod the childish comments really frustrates me.. as someone who is neurodivergent and newly found out i’m ADHD lol, i had accommodations in high school, and still do in college. and teachers would say “you won’t get accommodations forever! you can’t just expect these things to happen blah blah blahdy blah” and it’s soo stupid because why not??? why should i not let myself have the things that make me comfortable, that make me feel the best and able to do a certain task. Like argghhg
