Today i did my taxes and put air in the tires of my car without crying even once and that's going to have to be a win.

Life has been more than a little challenging over the last few years, personally, but the good thing is that I've managed to claw my way out of the severe anxiety that took me out at the knees in 2024. The burnout is still a huge problem but the only way to deal with that is to find a new job (in this economy?) so the struggle continues.

I also have been dealing with the worst case of writer's block for years that I keep trying to crack through, but it's been nearly impossible with the aforementioned burnout. I guess I just keep trying.

I hope everyone's doing okay.

I'm so sorry about the burnout, and I think maybe giving yourself grace for being in a fallow period with your writing may be good.
