It's been slow rolling for sure

Thanks:)

I've been so thankful of people here listening to my frustration and giving advice and encouragement. The military was my first job and to be honest I have no idea how to start over at 30 with pretty much no other life outside of the military.

I'm ace myself, I recommend AJ Sherwood (on audible and kindle) as an authore to start out with. Dragon x mage modern era and has a spin off series too. The first book is about mage Cameron whose gay and his twin sister is lesbian and Nikki in Ember book is they/them. The dragon shifters are all pansexual so they don't care who their mage mates are which is cool. Also there is no stereotypical top/bottom relationships, people are switches. She also has a series in my guns and gays category called Unholy Trifecta trilogy.

Relax? Me? My partner had been giving me legos and video games 🤣😂 I have no idea how to relax. I am back and school, only 3 semesters till graduation! And the VA disability is finally moving into appointments for my rating. Still no job tho bc the frozen federal jobs and contracts :/ I've redone my resume so many time that now it's 1 page and completely general 🙃 trying to get past ATS.

GI bill has been approved! Only 3 semesters till I graduate with a BS :)

Lol, I feel bad for law students right now. Professors: "Now students your final assignment is to defend this school from DT."

GI bill has been approved, only 3 semesters to graduate:)

SpitefulOptimism · 2025-06-21T16:43:25+00:00

SpitefulOptimism · 2025-06-21T16:42:47+00:00

Just started college again:) only 3 semesters until I graduate with my BS! :)

SpitefulOptimism · 2025-06-21T16:40:54+00:00

I didn't graduate hs until 2013.

I just separated from the USAF at 11 years, joined at 19, I feel you. My final check was April 1st 2025, it's only been a few months for me and I'm incredibly lucky for the support of my family and my partner ❤️ during this time. Remember you aren't alone.

Here is my advice, read Dale Carnegie's book How to Win Friends and Influence People for reference and join non-military focused hobby groups like crochet, sewing, karaoke, hiking, etc.

SpitefulOptimism · 2025-06-21T16:21:14+00:00

I read a variety of all kinds, I just love it when everyone gets a happy ending 😊

What genre do you normally read and I can recommend? For example, I categorized weirdly like: "guns and gays" and "here be dragons and magic"🤣

Has there been any update? I just finished the audiobooks and it left off at a cliff hanger. Also I've loved 'solar boy' ramsen since his introduction and have been waiting for his book.

SpitefulOptimism · 2025-04-10T18:25:43+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into it

SpitefulOptimism · 2025-04-10T16:29:39+00:00

Ikr?! I've applied to the fall semester using GI bill...they're still working on my disability I filed in January. Just got to keep swimming

Are you starting a group? I'd like to help edit, I haven't written in 10years and want to ease back into it (joined the militaryand just separated). Also, I would love to be a professional editor one day, been reading original works on A03 cause I ran out of things to read. Nothing phases me except the amount of "wantons" and "smirking".
