"hi guys junior year is going gr8" -me, four years ago, imagining how I'd sound in 2020 as a junior
Sorry to anyone who signed up for emails about this blog updating; you've probably forgotten it exists by now. Which is valid, it hasn't been active for around four years.
Life updates, in no particular order:
-I came out as a guy, changed my legal name and gender, and am now officially Hunter Blake Martin
-I gained and lost several boyfriends, but I've been dating a dude named Elijah for almost a year now. Hope this works out!
-I've acquired various real-world interests, including percussion, art, and fishkeeping (weird, I know, right? Long story)
-I've gotten... grades in high school
-I'm now the de facto president of our school GSA
-I get to be center snare of our marching drumline next year
-Other various cool stuff (see below)
Gained some friends, lost some friends, gotten better at life and living in general. Not depressed anymore, not in denial about my mental health, finally at a more comfortable place. I'm doing college visits (oh, did I mention- I'm going to college to become a band director) and probably going to University of Wisconsin somewhere.
I'm finally medicated for my ADHD as well as my depression, and I have a cool therapist who taught me how to actually cope in a healthy fashion. Life's good, significantly better than it's ever been, and each day seems a little brighter.
If you see this post, if anyone sees this post? Remember that there's nowhere to go but up, always. If you're in a bad place, seek help; if you're in a good place, lift up friends that might not be doing so well. Involve yourself in the real world, challenge yourself mentally and physically, and keep growing and learning every day.
One last note: almost 4000 views are you guys CRAZY?!
Signing off yet again,
Hunter :)
Edit: I almost forgot the music rec for this post! Here you go.
