So I'm back. In the time during my absence I've started a Substack (it's a newsletter blogging platform.), gotten back into producing music in my project studio, and re-established a friendship with one of my childhood best friends.

This friendship has been transformative to say the least. I can talk about anything with this friend, and we've both been going over our childhoods. We both think he's autistic. He's recently begun the diagnostic journey.

He runs a wonderful small Discord server. I now finally feel like I have a proper adult friend group. Most of my friends from high school are no longer in my neck of the woods. Although I do keep in touch with one friend in particular.

Just wanted to update folks on how I'm doing. I finally feel I've got this adulting thing figured out. Plus I also have a wonderful support staff of attendants.

I hope you're not just passing through, again. You sound like good company.

Sounds like you've been making some awesome moves. Music, a childhood friend, and some solid adulting wins, love it. Adulting can be tricky, but it looks like you’re cruising through it! Keep sharing that wisdom, we need more of that good energy around here.

Nope I'm here to stay this time. Part of the reason, I didn't come back sooner was because of password/login trouble, but then I just tried logging in with my username/password in my Bitwarden password manager and that worked fine.
