It’s been a year!
What a fucking year!
Ya know how I said that last year I had just finished the worst year of my life? ( It definitely was to be clear). Well I just finished up probably the most eventful one yet, I moved to New York, I met the love of my life, my parents divorced, my interests have changed radically, and YET! I am still plagued by a lot of the same issues I had in early quarantine, and have definitely picked up a few along the way. I always felt this could be a lot more than it was, and have put some messianic faith in the idea it could help me unravel the bad habits driving so much of the melancholy that July always seems to bring. SO I am going to give it another shot.
With a lot less ambition, idealism in my politics, pessimism in my voice, and cringe on my tongue, I hope that this season of Bootstraps lasts more than an episode and if anyone reads this they enjoy. I WILL NOT post regularly, and I WILL NOT, talk about personal matters really aside from this. I love myself a lot more than I did then, so … giver it a try I guess.
