Hello dears!
Just popping in to say I'm very sorry for not blogging a bunch on here this months--I am participating in NaNoWriMo, AND I'm doing a daily vlog over at my Youtube Channel that you can see HERE!
So that's where I am, folks, but I would like to give a quick update on more personal things here real quick:

THAT'S RIGHT!
NaNoWriMo is upon us, fellow writers, and now we must buy all of the chocolate, apple cider, and tissues to catch our lonely little tears for this month.
HOHBOY.
Last night at Midnight, really exhausted, I managed to write 1,00 words, which I am just not happy with, but I simply passed out.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M WRITING THIS FOR.

Hello beautiful people!
It's been awhile again, but I'm here to give a quick update on me, and basically how today went down.
So as you might know I've been having some issues with my heart--very confusing stuff, lots of long words, I dunno.
But I've been waiting for this appointment at Lebonheurs for a long time now, marking down the days with anxiety, dread, maybe a bit of curiosity.

I was trying to explain to my mom and my sister the other day something that I live by:
"Do what you love, or don't do it at all."
I realized that I was right, but still I was wrong.
My sister brought up the point that my dad has to leave for a month at a time for his work, and she was sure he didn't LOVE leaving us. She said that we have to do things that we don't love because that's just Casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07805907061181695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055230601790622154.post-52462387051581173782014-09-24T00:25:00.002-05:002014-09-24T00:25:37.666-05:00Old Torture Devices and Anxiety

Anyhow, this is just a quick update because, indeed, a bunch has

quite a while, we noticed the awful, awful, awful dreams went away within days,

Hello Lovelies!
I've been having good days, ultimately.
I've made a lot of changes in my life over such a short time, and it's sort of blown me away. Part of me wants to stay the same, hold onto things that hurt me just because they're familiar, and continue to be a part of things I don't have a passion for just for the sake of it. Just to make others happy.
But that's no way toCasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07805907061181695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055230601790622154.post-85376314724708701702014-09-09T16:17:00.000-05:002014-09-09T16:17:28.493-05:00Update on All of the Things
Hello Dears!
The Doctors told us news about the X-Rays: It is a mild case, but we're considering going to a Chiropractor to get a specific percentage.
I usually wouldn't be so insistent on figuring out the details of something that isn't that big of a deal right now, but my back does constantly ache and feels bruised half of the time, and I'd do anything to help it.

Love???
Aye, you heard it right.
That was weird I just sounded like a pirate.
Anyway.
Indeed, I'm going to talk about "love" for a little bit.
I recently stumbled upon someone sharing their opinion that unless you are 28 or older, you cannot experience love.
They said that they get sick seeing these young people getting married and claiming to be in love.
As if love is an emotion that gets "Casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07805907061181695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055230601790622154.post-23910680773744431392014-08-28T03:10:00.001-05:002014-08-28T03:10:50.779-05:00I'm Not the Only One That's Sick
And I don't mean in the sense that there are other people out there that have Depression, because of course there are, but I mean I've found so many other people are sick with something far worse, believe it or not, and that something is
Ignorance.
And Selfishness.
And idiocy, to put it bluntly.

It rained today and it was lovely. Nothing like being cold and wet in a Hospital to brighten your day.
My Check-Up was today, after three weeks of being on my Antidepressant.
It went better than expected.
Granted, I know I haven't been doing as much stretching, eating as much as I should have, but I mean I'm not too worried about it considering I gained two pounds and the Doctor said she can Casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07805907061181695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055230601790622154.post-2757731025737504172014-08-25T00:51:00.002-05:002014-08-25T03:08:13.696-05:00Update: My Day
I go to the Doctor's this week for a checkup after three weeks of being on the Antidepressant, and I know that I have improved.
I know I have, but not as much as I could have, and I know that. It's just been hard to get into a whole new routine.
Today especially was very new and very exciting/disorienting because change is a very shaky thing for me.
My day roughly went like this:

Hello there!
I've decided to make a little list of simple, perhaps logically meaningless goals for the present future, but they are meaningful to me.
Due to my depression, I have been sleeping more than I would like, while also feeling incredibly tired during the day.
I haven't been eating very much.
I haven't been doing much of anything, really, being unable to find the determination to do Casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07805907061181695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055230601790622154.post-81643628335333832742014-08-15T16:54:00.005-05:002014-08-15T16:54:45.994-05:00Day at the Fair
Just as the title implies: yesterday I spent my evening at the Fair, and it was quite an adventure.
I went with my family--meaning my mom, sister, brother, his girlfriend, and both of my grandparents--but ended up finding a group of my lovely friends and exploring with them for a time.
Really the only reason I went was to take pictures.
The last thing I wanted to do was to get out into a Casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07805907061181695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055230601790622154.post-45821946563459884772014-08-09T21:06:00.000-05:002014-08-09T21:32:23.152-05:00DepressionSo, I've been sick.
But this isn't the kind of illness that causes me to cough and sneeze. My hair isn't unbrushed. I'm not shivering from a cold.
I've been mentally ill, which actually sounds like I should be a character in some crazy YA novel, and indeed I feel like I could be.
I've been on my own little roller coaster these last few weeks, but it's not the adventure I would have preferred.

Have you ever heard the quote "Someone's got it worse than you"?
You see, I think this saying is supposed to make me feel better about my own life. To think "Eh, things are not as bad as they could be."
And indeed I know they can be worse, and maybe that makes it some-what better. But that doesn't mean that things still aren't bad.

Today has been pretty empty, meaning my mind has had a lot of time to wander freely and without stop. This isn't a bad thing. Well, at least today it isn't.
But it got me thinking:
There are, basically, two types of people in this world.
Both of these kinds are very troubled people.
Stay with me here:

They are both distraught, or have Casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07805907061181695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055230601790622154.post-89933816790016799072014-07-29T02:34:00.000-05:002014-07-29T02:34:15.569-05:00We Are StoriesHello Dears!

So you guys might notice a change around my social media pages--all of my pictures have changed from the mysterious Defying Impossible banner to the total nerdiness face of me.
Why is this, you might ask?
Because, I plan to post my first Wordtube Video later this week, and I figured it was about time to stop hiding behind the pretty colors and the bird cage, right?

Sorry I've missed last Top Three Thursday--I have one written, and it will be posted this Thursday, promise!
Let's get on with it?:
Do you have a 'type'?
And by this, I mean do you have a certain kind of fictional character you are drawn to?
Just like stories, each and every character has a certain 'feel' to them--a certain theme.
This would be, of course, their personality.
