So, life for me has gained some skull-splintering momentum. I was so immensely cemented by childhood comforts and weighted down by fear that it became nearly impossible to commit to any meaningful life changes. Alas, it is finally time to flush that preverbal shit down said fucking toilet.

And yeah, it turns out werewolf-metamorphosis has some painful side-effects, but what else can you expect from the process of melting your anatomy to become another species? Metaphors aside, I have a newly kindled admiration and respect for those transitioning their gender. Though my gender remains the same (for anyone who is wondering.)

Here's a nonalcoholic cheer to a new job, and a nonsmoker's toast to taking steps for college classes this upcoming spring semester!

Sincerely,

Hey-Doubts-You-Can-Lick-The-Saltiest-Side-Of-My-NonTesticles

I'm not exactly up-to-date on journal entries. Mostly I don't bother to write them... I've been inactive for over a year now. I am, however, looking to change that. I am always optimistic whenever I make an attempt to be more present in the DA community. Though it doesn't take long to lose my creative momentum.
Anyway, in November I'm going to have more free time on my hands than I'm used to having. Hopefully I'll have a plethora of new deviations submitted.
Hopefully.

Back Again.

Yeah, I know I have been neglecting deviantart once again. Life at the moment is chaotic.  I am currently preparing myself for a move. I've never lived anywhere but my hometown so this is an immense change for me.  Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts and the lack of responses.

I haven't been completely idle though. I write everyday, some days even multiple times. So I plan on making some literature submissions soon enough, and some photography submissions as well.

Thank you for following along with my less-than-stimulating banter.

Fires blaze across the southern half of the San Joaquin Valley; winds ruffling cicadas and the colossal sequoias.

A thrumming split through my skull; electrical bolts that render my molecular structure ineffectual.

We hadn't spoken in months, but of course you knew that. You who so famously knew  everything.

"You see, that's the root of it all.  Your thoughts are confined to linear depictions, and my mind never knew how to think inside lines or limitations."

It's happening again, the dreams of being charming
of being charmed.

Clairvoyance and telekinesis quiver within the same breath
I know what it is that needs to be done,
and I am the one to do it.


Nightmares flex through my cerebral-cortex,
terror tightening down to my brainstem.
You do not know fear as I do.

You might think to scream, to vocalize your urgency,
but the dread pools thick in your gullet,
and all you can manage to do
is slur out an
"I'm okay."
or two.

    So lately my insomnia has seemed to flit away of its own accord. Normally I require sleep-aid to sleep throughout the night without waking up numerous times. Alas, I was tired of being dependent on a pharmaceutical crutch, so I threw away my over-the-counter sleep aid, and instead vied for drinking chamomile tea before bed.
    The first week was exponentially rough. I hardly had the energy to get up and take care of my daily responsibilities. Then when the second week rolled around, my body was so exhausted from the lack of sleep the previous week, that the moment my head hit the pillow at night, I fell into a blissfully dreamless slumber. 
    Now I'm nearing the end of the third week, and though I'm now having no trouble falling asleep, I am however experiencing social-anxiety nightmares like I have never before. I almost dread going to sleep.  But, hey, everyone has to sleep right? 

I shared this because I was wondering if anyone else has stopped their use of sleep-aid and had some adverse effects afterwards?

Also a special, heartfelt thank you to overseerneversleeps for suggesting my most recent piece as a Daily Deviation!
