Welp, this year has sucked so far.

Hold on, let me try that again.

This year has really sucked so far.

I’ve been in a bad way for about the last eight months, letting the awful monsters in my own head run amok. Due to… circumstances I don’t plan to go into… I’ve spent most of 2017 stuck in one of the worst depressions I’ve ever dealt with. And I’m tired of it. I’m tired of feeling sorry for myself, and feeling like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. There definitely is, I just can’t quite see it yet.

So, since I feel like I need something (anything) positive to hold onto, I’m going to start using this blog to post things that make me happy. I’m mostly doing this for myself, just as a reminder that there’s always joy in life if you can see through the crap to remember to look for it. But if anyone else finds joy here too, all the better.

For today, my happy thought is that I’ve finally figured out something I can do with this blog, aside from fretting over not having anything interesting to say on it. I’m no longer going to worry about whether or not I’m interesting, and second guess every post before I write it. I’m just going to post fun, silly stuff and hope for the best.

On that note, have an adorable picture of my pets, trying to learn to share the furniture. 🙂

 But Mom, I wanted the chair.
