july 17th, 2026 - at home

on taking one step at a time...

i've been a little... i don't want to use agoraphobic because that definitely feels a bit intense, but... antisocial lately. i've been working from home more often with overtime demands, so it's been so easy for me to just stay home and do nothing. my social anxiety also ebbs and flows, too. some days i can go out and hang with friends and have a good time, but other times it's a struggle to get out the door - and i think that duality is what's really bothering me. one day one thing can be a breeze, and the next that same thing can be really hard. i think i just need to practice giving myself more grace while simultaneously trying to push myself out there more.

i have tickets to a show next week (gina gory ep release - love them), and this weekend we're going to kennywood (yay!). it's the first visit of the season and i'll have tons of new pics for the phantom shrine to come. the band has quite a few shows on the horizon as well, check 'em out here. if you're in the pittsburgh area come check it out :)
