Hello SG friends and family!!! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog, for which I apologize for. I think we can all agree that the past year and a half have been pretty crazy. Despite that, I hope you are all doing well and starting to heal from everything that has happened and to some extent is still going on.
I’m aware my sudden disappearance had people worried, and that was never my intent. This is an update as to everything that has occurred during 2021. To everyone who reached out to me, thank you so much. I love you all🖤 Hearing from you made those days/weeks a little better 🖤
January I ultimately made the decision to move from Wisconsin to Florida. Moving in the middle of a pandemic was not the wisest of ideas if I’m being honest for a multitude of reasons, however it’s been nice getting away from where I grew up. It would be a lie to say nothing positive has come from this experience thus far, however it’s definitely been a rollercoaster.
During the first half of this year I had a restaurant job, which I came to realize was not for me. Somehow that managed to be more stressful than dancing despite not dealing with customers. When I moved down, I did not have a vehicle. It took about 5 months of being here before finding something in my budget. That obviously made getting around and exploring easier. However, I only had that vehicle and job until August. The job I left willingly to continue dancing.
Late August throughout September has probably been the hardest point out here. Shortly after I quit that job and started dancing, I had a seizure while driving. Luckily no one else was involved nor was I seriously injured. The biggest problems ended up being the car was totaled and not being able to work for a month (until I found another vehicle). The doctors explained it as a breakthrough seizure. To those who don’t understand what that means, it’s basically someone has taken their medication, but the seizure is stronger than what the medication prevents against.
During this time, I also started to become a little more active on the site (at least in groups). This was a community that I missed dearly, and during that time helped me so much despite have a much smaller presence than I used to. There was no way I could leave this community completely considering the friendships that were made over the years, the joys of meeting new people, and how accepting everyone is. It’s a community that’s hard to not fall in love with. I’m so thankful for each and every person I’ve interacted with since joining 🖤
Since then things have been relatively calm, thankfully. I’m currently alternating between 2 clubs. Still have yet to really explore central Florida as I’m working most days, and have yet to find people to hang out with out here. I’m sure this is a struggle my fellow introverts understand well. Aside from that, I’d love to hear what everyone else has been up to this year!
