A brand-new name but, the blog and I are pretty much the same. Unfortunately, I am the same chronically ill, chronically chaotic person that I’ve always been. There’s nothing new there, what has changed however, are my intentions for this blog, as well as my posting schedule because let’s face it- that wasn’t working for any of us. And it’s not that I didn’t enjoy my old schedule because, in all honesty, I loved it more than I have words for. However, it didn’t end up making time or space for when I wasn’t feeling well, didn’t have much to say, or when writer’s block had me by the throat.
From here on out, I’m hoping that the content I make will be a little less “my health is shit, and I want a refund” or “why did two people who hated each other have sex, and here I am” and a little more book based. A lot more book based in a way when you think about it because, yes, while my health is still shit and that probably won’t ever change, this blog wasn’t supposed to be about that. This was originally a place for me to talk about books. I wanted a place to talk about the books that I was reading, the things I was writing, hopefully create a following for my books and whatnot… and then 2020 happened and everything changed.
I changed too.
Will I still be sharing information on my health? Yes. Too many of the conditions that I have are classified as “rare.” Too many people are in constant pain, hypermobile, dizzy, fainting, and having symptoms that I have, and thinking “oh this is fine” or that “this is normal” when it’s not. Too many people have to suffer, and by writing this blog, maybe a few people will stop and question whether or not they have the same issues that I do, and it might help them get a diagnosis, and therefore have a better quality of life. That would make me so damn happy because, literally no one deserves to feel the way that I do constantly and feel like it’s normal.
But that’s not all. I want to talk about books; what I’m reading, my favorite writers. I want to post book reviews, and complain about the books and series that I’m waiting for, and will have to wait literal years for to be released because those are the kinds of things I, myself, enjoy reading. I was one of those annoying gifted kids who could read faster than everyone else, could crank out an essay, or six page paper in under 45-minutes, and actually wrote college papers for some of my friends. (I won’t name any names but, one of them is an RN now, so I’m pretty proud of myself.) Now, unfortunately, I’m just another gifted kid who burnt out in the 10th grade, has too many medical conditions, mental and physical, and spends way too much time talking to my imaginary friends.
So, when will I be posting from here on out? Good question.
Hopefully, the answer to that will be Mondays, Wednesdays, and also on Fridays if I have anything worthwhile to say. However, I will say that there are going to be days where I don’t post, even if I should, and on those days, you might see things from me on TikTok, Instagram, TikTok, and occasionally on Twitter… all of which can be found in my linktree below.
Until next time,
-Sky
