A New Season in Vastly Intricate.

Haven’t been on here in awhile.. and the last few posts I’ve made have been set to private anyway so only a couple of people have been able to read those. Just felt like typing today so we shall see what comes out.

I no longer work in the place that I spent the last 6 years of my life. When I first started there, I was volunteering and doing what I thought would be my full time career one day. Volunteering led me to a part time position within the place that wasn’t what I wanted to do. Even so, I stuck with it for almost 3 years, I believe. My lengths of time may be off - it seems a lot is lately. Anyway, I turned in my notice and resigned from there. I’m done with the place.. and with the field altogether.

I work from home now doing something else that I obtained my license in back last year. It’s so much less stress on my mind and my body too. I have a great boss and great co-workers. It’s amazing how you can actually work with a team of people who encourage you and support you and praise you when you do things right. Didn’t know that was possible at the last place I was at. Anyway - I’m much happier spending my time working from home.. away from the world and people in general.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate people. I thought I did for awhile, as the job I was in pretty much does that to you. But now that I’m free from there, I’ve realized people aren’t overall bad. I enjoy going out and doing things with my small circle of friends and family. I love my tribe more than anything. They bring me joy. Other than that, I enjoy being by myself. I’ve just always been that person. Being around a lot of people for the majority of my time literally drains me. Thankfully, with this job I’m in now, I’m feeling much more like myself.

I’m still fighting a ton of health issues. I’ve been to my family doctor (nurse practitioner) numerous times, went to have tests done at bone & joint, and am currently waiting on my first appointment with my rheumatologist. It seems as though I find more and more things wrong with me at each appointment I go to. However, I’m thankful for that.. because I’m getting answers. I used to hate the idea of going to a doctor - didn’t want to know what was wrong with my body. Now, I embrace it.. because answers mean finding ways to get relief from all the pain.

That’s my update for now. I have other things floating around in my head but I’m not going to type those up for the time being. I’ll be back soon....
