๐Ÿ˜ธ Itty bitty kitty committee ๐ŸŒฟ and a cross stitch to match. This is Maple, we call her Mei-Mei. She's part of a moth cult. She loves belly rubs. She follows you everywhere. Her eyes see beyond any known wavelength. She's our little baby who needs to be carried around to check the ceiling for moths. by @hybrid_machine

Havenโ€™t drawn for years! Things have slowed down and progressed in other areas. Namely lots of personal therapy, studying counselling, discovering autistic diagnosis, unmasking, becoming a counsellor and just mellowing the f up! My art seemed to come from distress and trauma so now Iโ€™m likeโ€ฆ? I guess I just dabble when I feel ๐Ÿ˜„ Felt like playing with the cyberpunk lighting here. Also holy moly, my Insta suggested a song sung by my cousin so I thought Iโ€™d include it. Sheโ€™s phenomenal and an opera sensation in Europe. by @hybrid_machine

Life Update and random photo dump. Oof, there's been a lot. I'm usually over at my horror bookstagram account! (@dark.psyche.reads ) ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ1. Friendly neighbourhood cat called Momoko didn't want to come down ๐Ÿ˜† this was our first encounter. ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ2. I've been walking every day since April, averaging 7000 steps/day. The endorphins/focus/weight loss is amazing. Lost 10kgs since July. Also walking to strengthen ankle mobility (I tore 3 ankle tendons early 2023 because apparently hypermobility). ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ3. I've been reading so much (horror) ๐Ÿคญ Addict. ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ4. Reading everywhere. I did go to QLD with mum to celebrate finishing my Masters ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“ No more academia ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ (graduation ceremony August). Looking for werk, it's hard ๐Ÿ˜‘ ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ5. Volunteering one night a week as an established counsellor in family violence counselling, where I did my placement ๐Ÿ˜Š it's such a supportive team. ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ6. Basic summary of life changes! Diagnosed autistic January 2023. Medicated PCOS and depression since Dec 2023 and actually able to feel focused and functional. Had a life turn around Oct 2023. The Ocean Grove concert saved me, or rather things got so bad in my head that my inner teenager came through and rocked out to feel louder, scream louder and live and love louder. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค˜ ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ7. Self care- when I had no other choice but to fight and become resilient. I love waking up at 6.30am now, having a coffee, reading, logic puzzles, kitty snuggles, morning walks and yoga. More me time. ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ8. While I'm transitioning from disability support work to counselling, sometimes my work takes me to interesting places (a Ferris wheel!) and clients have taught me so much on how to relate to others, make the most of things and enjoy life! ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ9. I've reconnected with my half-sister overseas since our fathers passing Feb 2024. Grief was a bitch for someone I barely knew. But I'm glad I'm closer with my sister who I've seen maybe twice? ๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธ10. She's been sending me old pictures I forgot I had. I'm always shovelling some food in my mouth??๐Ÿ˜‚ Anyway, I'm still a hermit and stressed af while transitioning into a new career and discovering my autistic identity, but I'm loving the new pace of life and freedom. by @hybrid_machine

I love these pumpkins ๐Ÿฉต Antidepressants have changed my life. And so has he ๐Ÿฅฐ I also want to commemorate 8 years with my loving partner. We've been through so much hardship. I'm so proud of our growth as humans and our lil' loving home we've created. I'm halfway through my last placement working in family violence counselling and it's incredibly challenging and rewarding. I feel natural in the counselling space. I've come so far as a person working through my own stuff. Life is looking a lot more meaningful and hopeful. I also lost 3kgs without realising it (which is super hard with PCOS). I feel like I'm on a happier and healthier trajectory. And I just want to celebrate the good people, friends, and important things in my life! We can do this โ˜บ๏ธโœจ๏ธ by @hybrid_machine

Thank you @oceangrove ! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ƒ It was such a blast seeing Ocean Grove performing at Sooki Lounge the other night! I've been brimming with explosive joy since seeing one of my bucket list bands! ๐Ÿคฉโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸคŸ They opened with this song - Junkie$ - which was the perfect choice for ripping an auditory seam in time and space ๐Ÿ˜ I got in there, let loose, felt the joy and energy from the crowd! Fucking yes! I think it's helped unlock a further piece of my identity puzzle, on my healing journey. ๐Ÿงฉ I am so excited to open my heart further ๐Ÿงก I've just finished my masters in counselling course (pending placement) and I fking needed this night. The bleakness I've had to unpack and endure during my training, learning, surviving..it's been rough. So I'm so thrilled I found a space where I could celebrate and release the pains of existence. And celebrate life โœจ๏ธ IYKYK โœŒ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿซถ Next gig is @fullyamtd Nov 17, a charity fundraiser for crisis relief and mental health support for musicians and music workers! Come along, I know where I'll be! #oceangrove #numetal #alternativerock #punkmetal #alternativemusic #melbournemusic #Australianmusic #heckyeah by @hybrid_machine

On my quest to comfort my inner demons tonight, I found some old journals on eco building and it's a nice reminder of my values. {Side note - a friend is designing and building their own home and it's so heart warming that someone gets to actualise this! It's been a dream of mine for too long. So big celebratory vibes to them!} I also noted maybe the rapid influx of autumn made today feel like an intense dark winter day. Hence the solemness. I recall going to yoga retreats in the past around autumn to deal with this slowing down cycle, inward journey, as Western culture doesn't really celebrate cycles. Only efficient extrovert energy all year around. So I took some notes on the autumn equinox cycle. I found info on ecopsychology serendipitously and its all tying my values together. (I'm trying to move toward providing forest therapy - as nature is very intrinsic to humans). Anyway. Autumn is a time to make inner space for a hibernating healing winter and renewed spring self. It's a creative inward journey of confronting those dark feelings. I may practice some rituals around making my connection to spirit more externalised. Make my own traditions. #ecobuilding #journaling #quotes #autumnequinox #spiritualcycles by @hybrid_machine

Part of my AuDHD diagnosis discovery has been identifying, accommodating and celebrating things that bring joy, comfort and adequate stimulation to my brain.๐Ÿฅฐ I'm honestly loving it. That may just mean, yes, sitting on the floor, with background music, while I have multiple activity options to do simultaneously. I'm reading Unmasking Autism (amazing) while note taking (I love research, documenting and writing is soothing). And I want to look at cute things that bring me joy so today's idea was cute stickers on instagram. And have multiple beverages for stimulation/hydration. I didn't realise that part of the neurodivergent sensitivity means that our brains process things at much higher sensitivities.. so we need much more stimulation in those areas to meet the brains sense of optimum. Hence why we sensation seek a lot. Whether it's colours, movement, details, music, textures. Hence why I'm an artist and love drawing, love fast-paced textured music, love the feeling of dance and how it puts me in a trance-like state, love soft textures, love looking at very colourful video games or art. My senses are fine tuned for environmental detail. So it actually puts me in a state of anguish if the environment is too drab, dull, quiet, sharp cornered, hostile, understimulating. A lot of modern architecture is just that, hence why I also find cities difficult to be in. Anyway ๐Ÿฅฐโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŽต๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ I'm trying to create more beautiful experiences to enjoy! by @hybrid_machine
