It Goes.

I have been away from the blogosphere for a while. Just wanted to check in and let you know a little bit of what is going on.

• Biology... Remember I signed up for a University class via distance learning? I am hopelessly behind on my coursework already. I signed up for it BEFORE my mom committed suicide, and I am finding it quite difficult to concentrate. I probably will purchase an extension to get extra time to finish the course. I need to be gentle with myself and allow myself the space to be imperfect.


• Therapy... I have been attending therapy with my sisters (one attends in person and one attends via Skype). Both of them are amazing and fascinating individuals so I am really excited to be building a stronger relationship with them. With both of our parents now dead, this has been an opportune time to reconnect and build a functional family unit. I am really happy we are doing this, as I love my sisters very much and want to be closer to them.


• Music... As part of my own healing process, I have written a song about my mother's suicide. It is so heartwrenchingly sad that I can't sing an entire stanza without crying. I decided to leave it as-is, with nasal vocals and voice cracking, but due to the emotional content the editing and mastering is slow going. It might not ever get finished, but the perfectionist in me doesn't want to move on to the next song until this one is done.

That's about all for now. Also, work is going reasonably well, I've been having a great time with friends, and I am diversifying some of my interests (spending less time in online forums, and more time with real-life people).
