It's funny how incosistent I've been about posting to this blog, but yet I somehow keep finding my way back to the temple from time to time. I've also been thinking about how crazy and how much the world has changed since my last post and how much the political landscape has impacted (for better or worse) every aspect of my life. Instead of concerning myself with advancing my career and working towards clinical licensure, I now have to be mindful that there are fascist thugs out there hurting people and engaging in politically-sanctioned terrorism. I have to remind myself that nothing stays shitty forever and that the pendulum will swing back someday. Will that someday occur in my lifetime, who knows? Until then, ignorance, fear and hatred are the order of the day. And I really hate to say this, but I feel that things are going to get much, much worse before they get better. For myself, I will try, fates permitting, to stay as positive as I can, continue to disengage from all media outlets, social and news (as it is all either extreme right or left and all negative and triggering), and read more books. More importantly, I will endeavor to journal more, and attempt to cultivate more real-world associations and play more games! With this thought in mind, I need to find other like-minded people who want to play OSR style rpgs like Old School Essentials, B/X D&D, Dragon Slayer or similar games and start rolling some dice again!
