Statement 6. 9/4/23-9/11/23

Statement begins.

Oh god 5 months passed.

I guess the easiest way of doing this would be a mass life update?

I work as a cavern tour guide now, and have for a few months now. I just bring groups into the cavern and talk for about an hour. It's great, honestly-it's a very performing job, which I do appreciate. I get to accept tips. It's the most chill workplace environment I've ever been in-we pretty much make the schedule ourselves, in-between tours there isn't too much to do. It's a lot of walking in the cavern, but I'm tolerating it fine... well, yknow, kind of, but different entry.

The second semester of community college started just this week. It's going... Fine. It's a lot. Different entry.

I am also an intern at a local lgbt outreach center-it's killer. It's a non-profit, I get all this training. We work in advocacy primarily, so I'm planning on doing shit like talking at city counsil meetings. We're grant-funded, we run a few different lgbt meeting groups monthly. It's awesome. It feels like I'm doing good work there, or I will be. I don't know, I've never really felt that before-it's really fucking nice.

I got to see some of my favorite artists both now and in middleschool-Mal Blum and John-Allison Weiss. Totally starstruck, honest to god. It was amazing. I got photos with Mal AND John. I look like Mal's horrible son.

So, I mean, generally, It's going... well? I'm off and on my meds. But this is the positive post. I'm making life plans, sort of. I still see my brother regularly. It's a mix. But I make enough money right now. And I get hella grants. And I'm doing alright in school. So, yknow.

Statement ends.
