Right so, after reading through one of my favorite blogs and joyously riding what can only be described as an "accomplishment high," I felt like starting to write again. Granted, I had been writing by hand in a lovely composition notebook lately, which I have actually been neglecting. Although, I mainly was writing in that notebook to get out some of my angry thoughts.
Hopefully I don't get too derailed. I have ADD, anxiety, mild depression (which has been much much better as of late) and I'm starting to think I have a mild agoraphobia. About half of those are self-diagnosed, the rest are professionally diagnosed. It doesn't help that I'm about six months pregnant right now, so I can't take the medication I was taking. I must say, in spite of my insane worrying over the whole "Holy crap I'm going to be a single parent!" madness, I'm doing quite well. I'm actually going to class, starting this Friday (yay!) for Criminal Justice and Forensics at ITT Tech, and I'm really looking forward to it. At the very least, I'm doing something with myself, so I'm not just sitting on this couch, feeling sorry for myself about everything, and believing myself to be a total failure.
I'm starting to think I can write with more ease on this blogging engine rather than Tumblr. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Tumblr. It's not so much about blog posts as it is about random pictures of kittens and food. Of course, lately I've been following a good number of blogs that cover various issues such as fat phobia, racism, sexism, etc. so I've seen a lot of anger. I understand the anger, and I think it's a good thing to be angry and let it out (in healthy ways, at best) but I think sometimes I find it overwhelming (my issue, no one else's) so I have to leave and decompress.
God, this is boring. Sorry. I'm just rambling. Hopefully, no one accuses me of copying anyone else, but I want to tell stories and incorporate pictures, like comics or doodles. For now, here is a picture of the pie I made today:
It's vegan! It's also incredibly delicious, but it's crazy rich. Maybe I should post the recipe at some point? Really, it's pretty easy. I just found a regular recipe for a chocolate French silk pie and replaces the non-vegan ingredients with vegan alternatives. I bought an Oreo cookie crust as well, because it's delicious. Also, the topping (which is what you can actually see here) is coconut cream that's been whisked with a mixer and I mixed in a tablespoon of vanilla extract to cut the coconut flavor down (you can also use powdered sugar).
The main reason I made this concoction was I suddenly had a craving for a French silk pie. I managed to summon enough energy to whip one up, and my mom (who doesn't enjoy sweets at all) said it was really good.
Anyway, to conclude, I will try to update this more with more interesting stories and thoughts (and more pictures) so stay tuned! (I hear crickets)
