First, let me apologize. I promised I would write quarterly. I'm now changing my blog posts to every three months. You can find more details in my general big update. On the topic of writing, I have several new stories that I'll be sharing with you hopefully soon. One of my upcoming stories focuses around obsessive compulsive disorder which I was recently misdiagnosed with. I haven't written much on mental illness and now that I know I have depression and generalized anxiety disorder, I've been finding stories to be a nice place to focus on the topic. It's a nice start to discovering my own identity. I do have to admit, I am a bit cautious of calling my story #ownvoices. While most of them are, whether through adoptee identity, gender fluidity, ace/aro, etc., I don't feel that I am best person to be representing these marginalizations. I live a fairly privileged life and still struggle with accepting myself. On the other hand, I do want to know when I'm misrepresenting someone and by not identifying with #ownvoices, I believe people will have an easier time giving me constructive criticism. Well, thank you for reading. See you in four months!
