I find myself needing to find more time to immerse myself in my fandoms, to escape the reality outside my door. Is it unhealthy? Maybe, maybe not, I don’t know. Honestly, I really don’t care, either. It looks like the real has hit really hard in my world and my chosen family is feeling the brunt. What used to be a happy “yay” when Wednesday comes along has turned into a rush for the respite that is new comic book day! And the few moments that I get to dive deeper into the current book that I am reading is a mental oasis for me. And, the much needed and wanted time with friends and loved ones is an emotional recharge! 

I’ll admit, I’m still in a weird headspace because of recent events, but I am coming out of it. And I can also say that I feel myself starting to achieve balance again, too. I’m hoping to get back to the place where gym time is a form of escape for me. As much as I enjoy exercising my mind, my body needs activity as well. Hey, who knows? Maybe real life cosplay as a favorite spy/adventurer could lead to a day long workout? I’ll play with that one and let you know what I come up with!
