It’s been a great Thanksgiving this year. I had a lot of fun with my family. It’s important for me while I’m struggling with mental health to think about what I’m grateful for and what gives me hope. I’m grateful me and my family had such a great time this week. I’m grateful for all the tasty food this week.

I know this is a difficult time for some people, specifically Native Americans, because of the history of this time. I myself have Native American blood in me so to an extent I understand. I hope you all also had a good time with your family and friends and remembered what is important to you as well.

I have officially completely my first book??? I mean I still have a lot of editing and rewriting I want to do to be fully satisfied but I have essentially completed my first book!

I never thought this day would come. For the longest time I would get a story idea, write like 1,000 words and then have a new story idea and start writing that, or get bored and stop writing it.

To think that I have actually finished a book, 70,000-80,000 words is insane. I’m so proud of myself for putting in the work and completeing it. It has been so much fun and took me about three weeks but I am here!

For October I set a number of goals for myself. I don’t plan to complete all of them, but I’ve already completed several and since I haven’t made a post I’m awhile I thought I’d make a post talking about what I’ve completed!

First things first my friend and I got together and went to the park! We walked around this really pretty park and neighborhood taking a lot of cute pictures and talking about anything and everything. It was so much fun to spend time with her, the weather was perfect, and we both looked so cute. Not to mention there was awesome Halloween decorations up which was super cool.

(Here’s a photo i took! I’ll probably post more on my Instagram)

We went back to her house, and spent the evening just chilling and having fun. We then completed our next goal which was watching over the garden wall!

My friend has an outside porch area where we sat and watched the show. If you haven’t seen OTGW I totally recommend! Especially this time of year. The show captures fall/winter perfectly. Watching it together was so much fun (I might have cried last episode).

We also watched Halloween movies that night (like hocus pocus) which was a whole ton of fun. And told ghost stories

Overall we had a super fun day. I’m always happy to spend time with her.

Along with the completed goals there are several goals I’m still currently working towards. For starters, I’m gonna be writing my own autumn short story. It’s gonna be based HEAVILY on over the garden wall, and even basing the “chapters” off of the original episode ideas. As well as finishing reading a book, I’m currently rereading Twilight along with Stephen kings It. I also plan to visit a graveyard near my house and make Halloween candles!

So excited for October! Where I live it’s still soooo hot outside but I’m hoping for the autumn month it’ll begin to really cool down some! I got some cute new sweaters and I’m anxious to wear them.

I started my YouTube channel! It’s only got one video up and it’s very messy and just frankly not very good but I like it none the less! It’s my first video, and I wanted to post it regardless. I want to make more, maybe another soon? I would like to do a makeup get ready with me or something, so we’ll see~

I have therapy tomorrow which I’m excited about. I should also be going with my friend to the coffee shop, so that should be fun. Things have been rough for my mental state and my home life recently, so what I really need is a fun carefree day out to relax and get out of the house.

I want to see what plants I can plant in October. I love love LOVE to garden but where I live it’s so hot during the summer it’s almost unbearable to go outside. Spring and fall are when I thrive!

If you’ve followed me for a while at all or seen any of my past posts you’ll know I had a list of “September Goals” I wanted to accomplish. Unfortunately, during September I relapsed in mental health problems and was not able to get the majority of them done. I did get a few done, like trying out a new recipe, but I’ve decided to just push some of the September goals to October and work towards finishing them this time around!

Anyways I hadn’t made a post in a while so I figured I would~

I took a bath tonight for the first time in forever and it was so so so nice! I used bath salts, lit incense, listened to pretty music and just relaxed in the warm water. It was really wonderful considered how stressed I’ve been lately.

And it just makes me think, if anybody who is reading this has been having a stressful time I really really encourage you to just do something for yourself. Take a bath, eat a chocolate bar, take some time to meditate or read a book. Watch an extra episode of your favorite tv show or light your favorite candle.

My family and I made ramen last night, since we love the anime Naruto so much, and we wanted to try something new. By no means was it professional ramen, it was just easy store-bought stuff, but it was super tasty!!

It was a lot of fun to make it with my family. I introduced my dad and my brother to Naruto, and anime in general and they both love it, even more than I do now.

We got store-bought broth and noodles and added baby spinach, bean sprouts, green onion, sesame seeds, and bamboo shoots. It wasn’t amazing, but it was still really tasty and we enjoyed it! We watched Naruto together while eating and it was a fun moment.
