Textual July Update Rambles (Patreon)

Hi there sweets 🤍

It's a warm evening in bed for me, flat from just being finished with some very social days.

phew.

I'm really enjoying the decompression time, trying to properly unwind - it's going well I'd say! I feel quite relaxed. Just wearing a t-shirt and some boxer-briefs.

Decompression for me usually pairs with quite a bit of introspection.I look at how I feel, how my days have been, what my current passions are, and what I want to spend my energy on. My mind takes me to my climbing.Climbing has been fun, but my shoulder has been murdering me when I don't stretch out properly, so lots of stretching! I humbly ask for digital stretching assistance and positive thoughts for my aching tendons and joints. (thank you in advance).

Another thing my mind takes me to is this familiar pull to go travel. Traveling more around the US, specifically. See, for now I've been borrowing a car for my transportation needs, but I've slowly been saving a little money for a car so that I might be able to go do lil' roadtrips in. It's a big country, lots to see! An early generation subaru forester might do the trick :)

Those of you who've been around here for a while, or those who have read through my old updates, will know that there's this fiery wanderlust in me that sometimes becomes a little too much for me to ignore. Part of it is curiosity, but I think another aspect is this uneasiness with being in one place for a longer period of time.I've not lived in the same place for more than a year or two at a time ever since I was a little kid - so I have some feelings to untangle about how I might one day slow down the whole traveling thing. Some feelings to explore, that's for sure. (see what I did there? explore.. hehe)

Maybe I'll go back to being a software dev.! I've been looking at work opportunities that would fit along my audio creation endeavors, and it's definitely something that's been on my mind lately - earning a little more to fund my future, and try the work culture in another country! If something pops up, I might inspect it further, but for now it's one of those books you leave next to your bed - the one you just look at instead of actually reading, picking it up once in a while for a chapter or two. For now however, It'll just be next to my bed.

Hmm.

I have absolutely loved the request tier so far - making audios based on outside input has been a fun challenge, and a nice little creative kick. Last month was the first M4M I've made in a while, which was quite something! Definitely going to be making more of those this year, hopefully I can get some feedback from those of you who are into those.

Speaking of feedback, I've received a few touching messages lately too. For me, knowing that the audios also can provide comfort in difficult times, make the work meaningful in such a profound way. It provides such purpose knowing that I can make a difference for some lovely humans out there. You're wonderful, and I appreciate you listening to my silly voice. <3

Menace is currently meowing at me to stop typing and give him attention instead (he's my friends cat). He's living up to his name, and I must submit to his persuasive purrs. No time to edit this little rambley mess, so I excuse the incoherent structure, and the lack of emojis. With that, I wish you a lovely night!Stream will be back on Monday - with a few more streams peppered in throughout the week.

A digital kiss, location of your choice ~
