greetings 2023!

Finallyy forcing myself to write because oh my gOD it's almost two months since this year began and I barely had any time to reflect. But here I am, since my life is once again at a very interesting place.

New set-up slash job sitch update. This year started insanely because *drumroll* I finally saved enough money to buy myself a new PC setup! For the past years, I have been working solely on a 10 year old Dell gaming laptop and I could not be happier retiring the old gal (truth be told she probably was itching for a decommission too). So, anyway, big news. I resigned from being an employee of my partner's sister (i know) to work full-time as a freelancer almost immediately after completing my set-up. Which, you know, might be incredibly brave or incredibly stupid but this is the first time I've followed my gut in a long while and I really think something will come out of this. Provided I put in the hard work, of course.

And hard work is what I've been doing. Hence, the lack of time to reflect.

I, however, would really like to document this big change in life because seriously !!! it's either moving too fast or not fast enough for me right now and sometimes I really need a reminder to chill tf out OMYGAWD. Spending my entire savings to buy this set up and taking a huge risk puts a lot of pressure I have to admit, but freedom always comes with a price. I just need to learn to be patient. And organized. Which I hope I am growing to be, a little. Currently working on new business though so that's good. Just need to navigate around the no salary situation but hopefully things work out.

Overwatch 2. So I know. New PC, good specs, exciting. I had the time to play Overwatch 2 for the first time since it is now free-to-play and it's uh, become sort of a tiny problem??? It's um. Affecting my life. Maybe in a not-so-good way? Because the first week I've installed the game I became so addicted that I stayed until 6am freaking just exploring and winning and losing that I sort of lost focus. I did notice the problem straigt away and weaned a bit from it until I discovered I totally gelled with having Moira as my main and then became a little bit hooked again. At the time of writing this though, I've learned how to quit at a more reasonable time. Losing/being frequently DC'd didn't help with my mood either as I notice I'm becoming so frustrated over something that's supposed to be fun. Looking for a slower game now as I kinda want to halt my MOBA career for now. Ii's just overall....not good for me right now haha
