Why I'm Starting this Blog.

I've been trying to find ways to connect with myself and other people around the world around my passion for gaming, books, and life. 2025 was a life changing chapter filled with anxiety, depression, and hope. In October of 2025, I sought the help of my primary care provider in helping me work through my anxiety and depression, Brittany helped me take my first steps toward the life that I want to live. I was later admitted to an outpatient mental health program that supported me in these challenges, but also helped me navigate my new diagnosis of ADHD. It was then that I began to feel melancholy about how my life could have been should I have received this help earlier on in my life.

Since having received this level of care and support from my family, friends and medical professionals my life has completely turned around. I quit my job in Human Resources, enrolled back in school to complete my Bachelor's degree and even got a new job as a Patron Experience Representative at a local library. That job is so important because after I finish my Bachelor's degree, I plan to enroll in at LSU to obtain my Master's in Library Science so I can be a full time librarian. Through it all, I've regained a passion for life that I had lost because I wasn't the one leading my life, it was fear. The fear of loss, the fear of the unknown, the fear of failure, the fear of being my genuine self. I will no longer let fear drive my life, I choose to embrace a growth oriented mindset and work towards my goals every day.

This blog will have posts about my life, games I am playing, books I am reading and how I am feeling for that day. Hopefully my journey helps inspire others to take charge of their lives and work toward their authentic selves and futures.

Love,

Cristian M.
