The next chapter has come out!
          
          This week was an exhausting one, and that was most certainly due to my own idiocy. As it turns out, constantly going to bed between 11-12, to wake up at 5 and work physical labor for 12 hours each day isn't the most splendid idea. But, I made it. And now, I'm running a marketplace empire due to circumstances.
          Time for my hobbies has dwindled as I've aged and gotten busier. I have to actively choose which hobbies to pursue, and which to give up. I've chosen writing and reading as two of them, artistry I was forced to give up, and I'm trying to pursue voice acting (I've actually gotten a significant role in a certain pokemon mystery dungeon comic dub to come out on YouTube later on), but even that has become very hard to sustain.
          Being a responsible adult means giving up things I want to do in favor of things I need to do.

Hey guess what? I forgot to publish a chapter yesterday. Very sorry.
          
          My mind has been pulled in 12 different directions.
          I've been working 11 hours per day, thinking about my marketplace sales needing to be made and kept up with, doing research into comparative pricing for other ones, thinking about how to better upgrade live streaming for my church, trying to remember to write, trying to keep up picking raspberries and taking and trashing old wood sheets from my mom's property, and just feeling a bit stretched, so my memory is the first thing to go.
          But it's alright, because I'm learning how to manage my time and funds more efficiently. Life is a bit of a continual push to get things done, so I'm doing my best (and failing a bit while I'm at it.
          Don't worry, that's all.

The chapter, expectedly, has arrived.
          
          Things will be changing somewhat come August. My goal for July was to keep up the buffer, and it's very much looking like that will have been accomplished. (I'm doing well as of now)
          But I've already decided that in August and hopefully from then on, a new routine and new things will be set in place. I won't say what as of now, but it will be different than it is now.

There you go: another chapter is out.
          
          Meanwhile on my side of the earth, it seems there's been interest generated in some of the items I have posted for sale on marketplace. This is a bit strange, since they've been up for a while, and I was beginning to get very discouraged, and thinking that I was going to have to deal with them somehow (one of these items is a car). But hopefully I can get them sold, so I don't have to deal with the clutter anymore.

Wow guys, I'll be honest: I really thought this chapter 4 chapters ahead of the one I just released was going to be bad and wack.
          But when I sat outside for a couple hours without any distractions, it did wonders for my ability to write.
          So much so, that I'm going to endeavor to get isolated and remove distractions like phones or videos whenever I get into a writing session. I bet it would help me significantly.

Thar she blows!
          
          Another chapter has been published. I'll be entirely frank: the buffer is shrinking fast. But: I will endeavor to sustain it to the best of my abilities as time goes on--at least through the month of July.
          After that, I'll announce a change that I'm still working through.
          So go ahead and look forward to that, or don't, but it's going to happen regardless.

Yoooooo glad too see you’re back! Good to see you’re doing alright

Another chapter is out.
          
          My motivation is more than a tad low, as I've been fighting off some sinus thing for the past 3 weeks whilst catching up on loads of projects, and trying to beat the heat and stressful events at work.
          In all it's a difficult time, but as we all do: I'll survive. The buffer shall be maintained as of now.

What-ho!
          Behold: another chapter has been published. Revel in the words.
          
          But aside from that, what are my views of our recent days (without getting controversial)? Well, it's definitely a changing time, huh? Culture is splitting apart more by the day, my generation seems to be struggling to get good jobs, politics is as divisive as ever, and AI is not only a thing, but THE thing, and will be incorporated into every major platform probably before the end of the year.
          Whew, what a time to be alive!
          My personal views are simply this: things that divide us don't need to. We're choosing these divisions and these vices to split each other up. Yes, you and I don't agree on everything, and even have core differences, but can't we still converse, communicate, and connect? Why does such a small thing as who you vote for, or what clothes you wear have to severe every bond?
          I'm endeavoring in understanding people's perspectives, maybe to be persuaded, but more to just see the person behind the ideology.
          That is all.

Hello again. I think I'll post an announcement each time I publish a chapter.
          Not long after my first announcement, it had occurred to me that I had returned the day after my 8 year anniversary of being on Wattpad. That was not planned, so it was a weird coincidence.
          
          Anyway, how have I been? Much is different, much is the same. I'm taking care of my mom a bit more now financially and physically (she's alright as of now, don't worry), am working toward becoming an independent contractor (IC for short), and have generally grown a bit into my years.
          At the ripe old age of 24, I've realized just how foolish and immature I am. It humbles me nearly daily how much I do not really know. So I'm on a mission to learn more things as I go on: particularly about other people and what they believe in/how they see the world.
          
          Anyway, that's enough out of this geezer. I'll try to publish two chapters a week. We'll see if I'm disciplined enough to maintain my buffer.
