inaugural beyondthesky journal entry

01 February 2025

it's a glum and unexpectedly humid saturday afternoon, and i can hear my flatmate playing the piano downstairs. i've been wanting to add a journal to my site for quite some time now, but now that i've made it i don't know what to talk about!

i suppose it's because i've been sooo busy the past ~month that i don't really know where to start! Christmas was a quiet one, but for New Years my partner and i, and a bunch of our mates, went camping! it was... pretty disastrous in all honesty -- basically anything that could go wrong did -- but it was still a load of fun despite that! i also spent a week at the summer camp i volunteer at every year, and had an absolute blast (as usual).

i suppose the Big News at the moment is that i got ~*OFFICIALLY*~ diagnosed with ADHD !!!! this has been YEARS in the making, and it's a hugeeee relief to finally have that confirmation and access to support. i started on meds last week, and while i'm still titrating the dose, the difference has been like night and day. i've been working like crazy all week, writing stuff for the site and working on pages; things that have been in a quasi-permanent state of WIP for months have been all but finished in a matter of days. it's wild the sense of competence and confidence i have all of a sudden -- i'm really enjoying the feelings of pride and accomplishment that come from that, and i'm looking forward to hopefully being more consistent in working on this site and my other hobbies!

anyway, that's about it from me for now! i hope y'all have a lovely morning, evening, or night xoxo - Cat
