am i? a 'vibrant babble participant'? i've spent most of the last few years being blocked, jai. i've almost done a PhD dissertation and i don't know that i've been posting terribly regularly or vibrantly until quite some time before i even moved countries to begin that project.
i'm doing okay. mental health wise i'm doing pretty good. a lot better than i used to be. made significant jumps there, really, pretty sure. nothing close to hospital for quite some time. no self harm for quite some time. no terrible moods lasting more than 3 or so days for quite some time. a fair bit of dysthymia but that really does seem to be pretty situational. i think it is mostly about getting older. growing up. getting some more positive experiences in my life. gradual accumulation of positive experiences and the gradual receeding of all those memories of crap. or something.
getting 'older' in the profession. feeling more competent and secure at my place (or potential place).
i don't know. i hope you are well. i miss you. how things used to be. remember all the poems you used to write. i hope you are well.
