 ## journaling
-I'm about halfway through my first thicc journal (more of a [commonplace book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonplace_book) really) and my first bullet journal, both of which were started in June of this year. I picked up the journaling habit (again) back in March, so I have two other journals I finished before this one (both A5 size), but this is my first thick journal of this style (it's square with grid pages). I'm really enjoying writing again -- I thought I wouldn't  have much of anything to write about, but being able to go back and look at how I was feeling a week or a month ago has proved really useful for my own well-being and mental health, so I'm very happy with where I am on this habit currently. ![<3](/img/emoji/pastelhearts.gif)
+as you can see, I'm about 3/4 the way through my first superthicc journal, which I've been gluing all sorts of stuff into, such as: sticker packaging, receipts, fortunes from fortune cookies, bits of packaging that I like from various things (pens, converters, ink boxes, etc). It's going really well, even if I've falled out of habit very recently. (been doing a lot of thinking and not enough writing!) ![hehe](/img/emoji/eheheoops.gif) [lucidiot](https://tilde.town/~lucidiot/) has been helping me stay on track and keeping me honest on that front. x3 I need to try and remember that when many thought head full that journaling is the answer! ![alpaca hop](/img/emoji/alpacahop.gif)
 
 ## therapy
-I applied for therapy back in October of 2023, right after my dog passed away, but their waiting list was so long that I have just recently been assigned a therapist. the anniversary of her death is coming soon (Oct 1) and we'll be doing some work on that, in addition to working on a bunch of other stress-related stuff I've been going through, so I've been looking forward to that, albeit apprehensively. I honestly really believe in the therapy process, as it's helped me a ton, but it's never like...*fun* to do this kind of work on yourself. it's a lot of introspection and can be painful to reckon with emotions you've been trying to bury, but it ultimately is good, so I'm committed to doing it. ![rubbing eye while crying](/img/emoji/singletear.gif)
+I'm about 3/4 of the way through this cycle of therapy; I have about 4 more sessions left as of writing this. Things are going really well; I really like my therapist, and we're doing really good work together. She's helped me to get back on track so that I'm taking better care of myself, and we've even worked on how to move past some of my old trauma, so that's got me feeling pretty good! ![pompompurin kicking his lil leggies!](/img/emoji/purinleggies.gif)
 
 ## fountain pens
-<figure style="clear: both; float: right;">
+the converters for the broken jinhao pens *do not* fit my platinum little meteors ![angy](/img/emoji/angery.gif) so now I have three converters that don't fit any of my pens. (the green jinhao has lasted so far, but if it's anything like the other two it is only a matter of time) ![tiny tantrum](/img/emoji/tantrum.gif)
-<img src="/img/broken.png" alt="a broken sparkly rose pink jinhao 82 pen. the lid has split in half so that it can no longer be screwed on.">
-<figcaption>rip to ur lid, lil homie <img src="/img/emoji/cinnasad.gif" alt="cinnamoroll sad"></figcaption></figure>
-I recently brought my bujo to bed to jot down some stuff before I fell asleep and knocked it (and my sparkly pink jinhao fountain pen) off the nightstand in my sleep and broke the lid of my sparkly pink jinhao ;w;
 
-about two days after that incident, I was unscrewing my other pink jinhao pen and the lid separated in my hands...so I guess I won't be buying any more of these. they're cute pens, but if they're going to fall apart in my hands, then I don't see the point of wasting money on them...I'm pretty upset about it, and now I have too much ink and only three pens (idk if I really need three though, so maybe i'll just rotate inks x3) I will, however, be testing the cartridges that came with them to see if they fit my platinum little meteor pens, so maybe it won't all be for naught. (and if they *do* fit then I may just splurge and get some other colors of the little meteor I've had my eye on.) ![x3](/img/emoji/x3.gif)
+so I had to order replacement converters for two of my platinum little meteor fountain pens because I decided I don't like the sliding mechanism on the cheapest available converter; it's a little too difficult to operate with my arthritic hands... ![sad](/img/emoji/sad.gif)

-## this website
-got the site converted over to [jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/)! I'm having a much easier time with it as opposed to [zola](https://www.getzola.org) (which is what it used to be powered by). It's written in ruby as opposed to rust, which I have more experience with, and seems to be better documented; at least, for a beginner like me it is. ![:'3](/img/emoji/singletear.gif)
-
-Now I can focus on [blagging]({% link blog.html %}) more often and building up some of the other [ideas]({% link _pages/plans.md %}) I've had! ![purin with kicky leggies](/img/emoji/purinleggies.gif)
 
 ## gaming
-Started playing [Nurse Love Syndrome](https://vndb.org/v7301) even though I haven't finished [Kindred Spirits on the Roof](https://vndb.org/v8508). I kind of have the itch to read through a VN lately but none of them are really grabbing me for whatever reason...I've also been pretty depressed lately, so maybe that has something to do with it? ![cri](/img/emoji/cri.gif) I *have* been considering picking up Animal Crossing: New Horizons again, though. I *barely* played the DLC when it was released, so maybe that would be fun to get back into? ![shrug](/img/emoji/shrug.gif)
+after a long stint of nothing really grabbing my attention, I began a new world on minecraft and have been playing that pretty religiously these past two weeks, to the point where I've been kind of ignoring friends...which I am not proud of. ![D:](/img/emoji/singletear.gif)
 
-## recovery
+## survival
-I recently had [shingles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingles) and that took a ***lot*** out of me, so I've been mostly just recovering, lounging about, and trying to have energy/feel better again so I can do more stuff around the house and work on projects/art/journaling... ![exhausted](/img/emoji/exhausted.gif)
+let's face it: this year's election has left a lot of us feeling pretty exhausted, exasperated, depressed, etc. ![sad rain](/img/emoji/amefuri.gif) the world is a fuck and I'm just trying to make it from day to day at this point and do my best to care for the people around me. and right now, that means focusing more on my mental health so that I *can* be there for the homies. there's a reason on airlines they tell you to secure your own oxygen mask before assisting other passengers - you're no good to anyone passed out and unable to help. so even when it feels selfish (bc trauma, ofc!), I gotta do my best to take care of myself so I can support the people in my life I care about.
+
+please take care of and be kind to each other right now. be the good you wanna see in the world. we won't get out of this without sticking together and helping each other. ![korilakkuma heart](/img/emoji/koriheart.gif)

 ## ok ok, but how do I tell *what* to use?
 the short answer is: experimentation. unless you live in a country where you can see a dermatologist for low cost and without any sort of referral or other hoops to jump through, experimentation is going to be your best bet. I like to start with products formulated for sensitive skin (because they will be the gentlest, as they're formulated to be minimally irritating).
