Stage 5, Day 21,
Some small noticeable changes. Touching my face much less.
Each day is resembling itself but slightly different. Working, then working on my book.
Update on that; I was trying to combine all the parts of my 3 books into one, but that's going to be harder than expected. I've got about 630 pages of 6x9 inches, and that's after reviewing 1/3rd of the book's content. Will probably get it down to 525-550 pages, at which point it will work at 2-3 books.
There are sizable portions of my books that were pedantic, whose point I didn't fully realize (and so just padded content), or didn't provide practical content.
I've been having a series of political 'awakenings' which have moved me much further left politically. I think that I've always been there (as I was as a teenager), but I believe that I took in a bucket of nonsense. I've avoided a lot of political commentary without trying, even though I normally reach for it. It's been strange; now that I'm out of my funk, I realize that tons of people are in the funk I once was.
I've been writing this thing for a little over 2 years; I'm very glad that it took me the time it did, if only to gain (what I consider to be) the proper perspective. I'm mildly embarrassed at some of the views I had about two years ago, not for its evil intent, for but the cover it could have given bad people to act with plausibility. Sometimes your attempts at neutrality can mask others' bad acts.
I watched a YouTube debater go up against some of the politically-based YouTubers I'd watch, and this guy would destroy their arguments and reveal how feelings-based they really were, in spite of how 'fact-based' they claimed to be.
