Projected projects.
posted on Sunday, July 10, 2011 @ 12:25 AM
Projects I want to get a good chunk done during my little "vacation" before school starts.

1. Gather parts of my "memoirs" and turn into a semi-autobiographical novel.
2. Continue utilizing my sketchbook and practice my drawing.
3. Learn how to do something with my hands, whether knitting, latch hook, embroidery, etc.
4. Read read read.

And while this isn't really a project, I'm going to wean myself off of Suboxens before school starts, I'm sober a year this month and I think I'm ready to be done with Suboxens. I very rarely have cravings and feel that the Suboxens are hindering more than helping at this point, it's just a matter of getting off of them without being too sick. I have learned how to subdue my cravings with other things, such as reading, drawing, watching something uplifting, etc. I still get "triggered" by certain movies, songs, etc, and probably always will, but I think I'm strong enough now to move past it. I can't be on Suboxen the rest of my life, although I probably never would have gotten sober without them, and I don't want to have to rely on them for school. This is too important to me to let anything get in my way. I'm hoping it won't be too horrible. I'm only on 2mgs, where most people who have been on them as long as I have are on 8mgs or 16mgs a day, it's just a matter of doing what I did with what I did with Celexa. Take 2mgs one day, then go the next day for as long as I can until I start to feel too miserable and sick and then take 1mg, then go for as long as I can and take .5mgs, and so on and so forth. I'm hoping it takes me no more than a week or two.

profile.
This is the section of my profile that lets you know the run down of who I am, or rather, who I think I am, or who I want you to think I am. I'm never any good at these because I change on a daily basis. Usually though, I am an introvert. I live my life in words, finding myself in lyrics, books, poetry, and my own writing. I'm kind of a loner, and usually like to be left to my own thoughts. I'm a survivor, and I'm trying to not live so much in the past, but in the present and the future. In the Fall I will be starting school full time to major in paralegal studies. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, and I think I've finally got it. I like to learn things. I love the study of psychology, sociology, sciences, history... everything but math. I'm an avid reader and try to read at least two books a month, but usually it's more like four or five. This blog is to try to find beauty and hope in the everyday mundane parts of life. To try to focus on the positive, instead of getting lost in my own head. To try to stay connected, make new friends, and chronicle this part of my life. It's a much needed resurrection after a very long hiatus from journaling, as I used to write every single day in high school, and have boxes and boxes of journals filled with my thoughts and ideas. I hope to continue that trend now that I have this site.
