When people use AI to write their professional or personal thoughts, I feel that I am not reading their feelings. I feel like they are simply sharing articles and posts written by some ubiquitous solo copywriter. I prefer reading people's authentic voice regardless of style, polish, etc. Plus, the it'n not this, it's that... dear god.... it's so rough to see it everywhere.
It's been a fun year for me in video games. Persona 6 teaser FINALLY dropped, we have a release date for Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave (SEPTEMBER!!!), and Pokopia has a dlc ^_^ I'm excited for the Persona 4 remake too! I played Persona 4G years ago, a colleague was kind enough to lend me his Vita. But I didn't want to keep his console for too long and I played it on easy. When the port dropped, it was hard to get into because it felt outdated for me after playing 5R. So I'm hoping to get the remake and really dive into it.
I've not been keeping up with k-pop as much in 2026, but boy has this month been so so so good! The new Shinee, Mamamoo, and Aespa have been on rotation lately, and Ateez has a song at the end of this month ♡♡♡
I've been debating adding my art to the site but I feel like my nav is still a bit nonsensical >.< I thought maybe it should be like below, but not sure if even that makes sense, meh

Things have been quiet for me. My daughter is on summer holiday now, so overall more peaceful. I've been focusing a lot on understanding my own energy and capacity. I spent a few weeks feeling really burned out, and that made me feel more dysregulated which made the burnout worse. I realized that I have variable energy and that just because I spent one week being on point with all the stuff for my family, personal like, and career, those days can wildly swing to exhaustion and I get dysregulated because I am cranky that the things aren't getting done, I'm not perfectly carrying them, and I end up questioning why I'm the only that even cares about all of it. I've come to the conclusion that the phenomenon is akin to feeling sick and not wanting to be bedridden, but more like emotional? No solution yet, but one thing is that I stopped looking at individual days as a pattern. As in, if yesterday I felt great, but today I am tired, then there are layers of effort I have to try to let go of so I can get back to my more perky self. I think that in itself is one of those hyper-obvious things we tell our tired friends but always forget to apply so it's a question of habit building to grant oneself that grace.
