The Purple Orangutang
(What I'm about to describe is a real dream with no exaggeration.)
I once had a dream in which I was driving down the highway towards a Home Depot in the middle of nowhere early in the morning. I was going there to meet an old friend by the name of Greg, a friend I hadn't seen since high school, some seven years ago. He was the manager of the order pick-up and delivery department, and I was excited to meet him and shoot the shit to catch up on old times.
I remember arriving at the store and walking into it, and something felt off. The entire interior felt exactly the same as the retail store where I worked at the time. Menards. Layout and everything were perfect, but instead of the vomit green that Menards had, everything was that orange color Home Depot uses for their branding. I remember wandering the store perfectly despite having never been in there, and eventually I found my way in the back yard of the store, Greg nowhere in sight. Behind the store, there was this grassy hill, the top of which was lined with tall grass and cattails; beyond that, there was a clean pond overlooking an abandoned gothic mansion.
I don't know why, but I was compelled to go to that hill. I should also note that, despite arriving here in the morning, it was now evening, and the sun was setting. As I climbed the grassy hill, I sat down on the top, peered through the tall grass and cattails, and watched as the geese swam about in the pond.
When I noticed the purple orangutang taking a seat next to me, I was surprisingly not bothered nor confused by its presence. When the orangutang spoke to me in fluent English, I listened intently as it began to ask me about my life and how I was doing.
I told the purple orangutang that I was lonely, that I didn't have many friends, and that I didn't like my job. At the time, I was driving 30 minutes to my retail work every day, and every day I was constantly being screamed at by my boss, taken advantage of by my coworkers, and abused by customers.
So, the Purple Orangutang asked me a hard-hitting question: "Why don't you just quit?"
I was stunned by this. I tried to tell the ape that it wasn't that easy and that I'd need to find another job.
Yet it simply said, "Yes, it is. If what you're doing now is making you miserable and you're burning more gas than you make in a day, shouldn't you just quit and try to at least improve upon your life by getting another job?"
Once again, I was stunned by this. The purple-ape thing was right. So, I asked it about my loneliness problem, to which the ape told me that it couldn't exactly help me there. He told me that was something I could only solve myself. Though it did give me ideas, such as starting a D&D campaign and inviting people.
I don't recall exactly what happened next. Though I vaguely remember the ape pointing to the mansion and telling me that if I wanted to try to improve my life, I could perhaps search for my ideas in the mansion. So, I got up and went to it. I don't recall what happened next after I went into that mansion, but what I do know.
In real life, I quit my job a week later and got a phone call from my current company, which I work for, asking if I wanted a job. Now I work remotely and am pretty happy with what I do.
I also started a D&D campaign and made a lot of new friends. I still feel lonely sometimes, but now I have people I can talk to.
So, I thank the Purple Orangutang every day for helping me. If you're ever feeling down in your dreams and you see a Purple Orangutang, talk to him; he's a super nice guy and is willing to help you out.
I also decided to search up the Purple Orangutang on the website "Dream Journal" and learned that apes in dreams are a sign of sexually repressed urges....

Sometimes, I like to just sit and think about nothing, nada, zip, nil, zero, nowt, zilch, nix, nonentity, bagatelle, blank, cipher, crumb, diddly-squat, bupkis, bugger-all, sweet Fanny Adams.
Yep. It's good.

I wrote another thing. The Other Side - Chapter 4: Prediction (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1393091124-the-other-side-chapter-4-prediction?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=ImmortanJoJo&wp_originator=WvA8Dt4sWFXQomRgr7o8NFzCxFp3BiTuDVTgZVKhKycLnAhBWluSWDmEpjaves4P3e3EQJ0F9oU34mYe1zeDAyHp92ujQY%2BfgwgUJrxBDDkhN2kWxAev%2FAyVhpmAeZ9f Luna Ashflow is not the type of girl one would typically expect. At the very least, not internally. In her previous existence, she was a despondent young man, a solitary individual who had once made an effort to rescue someone's life but tragically ended up being shot and killed in the process. Upon awakening, she finds herself reincarnated in a new world that is on the verge of transformation. In order to navigate this changing landscape, she must support her new family and confront the challenges brought about by the advancing forces of industry. Simultaneously, she strives to establish her own identity and leave a lasting impression in this unfamiliar existence.

Writing is rough but fun.
Sitting down to write today is like trying walk through a desert without your favorite ice cubes melting. I sit down, start my draft and then my inspiration just melts. away.
Though sometimes, when one little cube doesn't quite melt all the way, it feels really nice to make it to the other side! And then I eat it.

Dust Painting
Sometimes... I look at the dust on my floor in my bathroom, and the sudden surge of creativity strikes me. So, I reach down I run my fingers through the dust and make a little smiley face.
