I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be,
but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

A Year of Streaming

Hey there, I'm alive.

The title refers to two things I plan to do in 2023. I am now set up to stream on Twitch @ ugottafriend. If you have a Twitch account, you can follow me and chat while I play games. I am also setting up interactive games that you can also play with me and others in chat.

I am too sick to have a schedule. Just catch me if you can.

I also plan to make this year on the blog a stream of consciousness. That may interest some people, and deter others. Either is fine. I no longer advertise the blog, and the alternative to once a month streams of consciousness is writing nothing at all. So, here I am.

A stream of consciousness is simply "thinking out loud" on a page. I will use this method to check in and offer a few things that are going on in my life, or perhaps something philosophical, psychological, medical, or otherwise. There's a lack of predictability with this kind of blogging style, which feels appropriate at this time as my life is anything but predictable.

I hope everyone is OK. I haven't been OK, and I don't know if I ever will be, really. But I am still a resident of this turbulent world, and doing my best to despite the constant need to leave it behind.

Happy Birthday to my sister Kayla in the afterlife. I miss you.
