Updates and New Plans

So, here's the deal.

My chronic pain condition/disorder/whateveryawannacallit still kind of renders me unable to do the things a person my age ought to be able to do. This includes going to college on campus, getting my driver's license, and overall living anything resembling a normal life. I am very much stuck where I am right now.

This not only makes my day-to-day life difficult to deal with, but it makes me worry about my future, too. I obviously don't have a job, have no volunteer experience, or even any groups or organizations I can be involved in right now due to this illness and the variety of related problems that it's caused or exacerbated. I mean, things are looking up in a lot of ways -- but no so much that I feel entirely hopeful about the future, but that just might be the often-overbearing pessimist in me talking.

The point is, I really need some sort of outlet through which I feel like I'm actively working on something that can directly benefit my future (because simply taking online courses doesn't cut it for my stubborn mentality). So I'm more than likely going to stop posting on this blog altogether only because I really want to start a new, more formal blog with, I guess, Actual Posts about Things That Matter. Although those have often popped up on here, they're very unevenly dispersed between a lot of personal word vomit. And that will not do. I essentially want to create a blog that would viable item to put on a resume or application, since editing and possibly writing is the area into which I'm going.

So if you follow this blog, just know that it won't be active anymore, and feel free to head on over to the new one. I am already in the process of writing a couple things; specifically, a rant about the importance of language, and an in-depth explanation of why YA novelist John Green is essentially my number one literary inspiration. I also plan on writing a review of his latest book, The Fault in Our Stars...whenever I find the time.

Thanks for following if you do!
