This post took me 10 days to finish

in OCD4 years ago

And it is exactly the whole focus of this entry of mine. Because in fact what I intended to say was, for how rude or mean it may appear, this period has been actually a great occasion for me.

Normally I'm chased by being unemployed and slowly getting too old for finding a job in my country (basically, when you hit your 30s they already take measures for your coffin) but now that even if I would, I cannot go out to try my luck so I can focus on projects I left in a closet because they would've taken the time I didn't have.

  • Esperanto. This is probably my biggest regret as I was very close to being very knowledgable about the grammar and being able to write and talk (kinda) fluently Esperanto. I should really pick it up again, not a really useful goal but I do think not everything done in life must have a real purpose

  • Health. I'm quite overweight and not exactly fit. I want to take this time at home to take care of this and hopefully continue even after the forced time at home.

  • Book. Yes, I have a book in the making since the last decade. Unluckily for it, I changed often my mind over the setting, the characters, protagonists, plus the previously listed problems but this time I'm pretty sure about the whole idea. It may be bland, nothing new, probably some mainstream early 90s sci-fi setting but I don't really care, because it will be my book. And I'd like for someone to read it before I die and everything remains in my head.
    This, alongside with several short stories.

  • Cosplay. Way less life-changing for sure but stress-relieving, I've been thinking for years to make costumes by myself but often lacked money or will. Now I have time, the money I cannot spend outside can be reverted in this hobby for which I actually have now a plan, in fact, I've found a very nice site with several projects I can use, tutorials and guides.

  • Settings and various short stories. My mind is full of ideas I sometimes need to write down in order to appease their turbulence that doesn't let me think about anything else. I do intend to write them down and make them solid, maybe posting them on Hive for giggles

..I think that's it? All the goals I really want to accomplish are listed here and I'm determined to make them a reality for my own sake!

I want to dedicate this post to my dearest friend Enuxio, who's been extremely caring and taught (and still teaching) to me how to deal with life and positiveness and without her, this post wouldn't have been possible

Also thank you to Seniintuota for proofreading, without her this post would be hard to understand ahaha
