Dear Diary 015 [Gloomy Days, Animal Crossing, & finally starting again on YouTube]

It's been a month since my last diary update, and I feel like a lot has happened, while a lot hasn't happened. Time is going at the speed of light, and there are only 2 1/2 months left in the year. I definitely haven't accomplished as much as I wanted to in 2020.

At the same time, there are a lot of things I hadn't envisioned to accomplish, but I've soared leaps and bounds.

Gloomy Days

The days have been getting gloomier. I'm waking up, and it's semi-dark out. It's been a bit more difficult to get out of bed in the morning. I've been relying on coffee a bit more these past few weeks. Am I the only one?

I know it's only going to get worse as the autumn shifts into the winter months. This always makes me a bit nervous.

My anxiety has been pretty continuously high, which has been difficult to deal with on a daily basis. It has left me exhausted and drained.

I've been trying to keep my moods up and just stay busy overall, which has helped a little bit!

Animal Crossing

After taking a bit of a break of playing Animal Crossing, I'm back again! They came out with a beautiful autumn update to the game, and I've been so excited! I'm growing pumpkins, building a graveyard, and just decorating my town a lil' bit more. It's been a real source of calm for me. If you guys play animal crossing send me your friend code!

Youtube

I've been saying that I was going to start up my YouTube channel again for at least a year now, and finally after pushing myself to do so, I did it! It took me a few days to get my intro just right, but I'm obsessed.

I didn't really know what kind of video I wanted to make as an introduction to me and my channel, so I decided to do a super casual Get Ready With Me. While the video wasn't any where close to perfect, I felt happy. I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I'm just proud I actually created some content.


So that's what's been going on in my life lately! I feel like I've been super productive, but at the same time, I havn't? I don't know if that completely makes sense. I've been really enjoying the editing process for videomaking. I've also have been really having fun working on growing my blog!
