For the past week I've dedicated minimum 1hr/biz-day to creating The Ascension Simulator. Doesn't seem like much, right? But it adds up. 👾 I already have a 6-tab spreadsheet populated with roles, resources, communities and contacts; I've hopped on calls with strangers in other times zones, and I've been connected with friends of old friends. My passion burns bright. L'obsessed, he might be???? 👾 Pasted into a Discord or Slack near you: "The Ascension Simulator is a serious game that supports young femmes & LGBTQ folks to connect to their own sovereign Spirituality, while finding purpose in taking action for a better world. With the narrative mission to “evolve your angel” each player is led through an open world of casual-game missions that support the development of the player’s inner life." 👾 I'm learning so much. I just heard that most games last between 1-3 years on the market. Which led me to the realization: Might I end up developing a whole series of games?!? For the amount of BURNING PASSION I have behind this mission, likely. 👾 My mission! Create accessible inner development journeys for young folks who are a part of underestimated communities. 👾 My why: To make self-love accessible, so that each human's inner genius has a solid foundation to stand upon, enabling it to be unleashed onto our healing planet. 👾 My vehicle: Games, their fun reward loops offering ease + delight where anxiety + discipline previously lay as prerequisite. 👾 Unconditional self-love is a teachable skill; and I have found just the vehicle to incentivize it's learning... 🤲🏻✨🌈👾☁️
Cxy x my last weekly call of 2023, our first full calendar year of building together. His shirt matched the desktop texture too well! ... and yes, mine was also on-palette.
Our chats have not only birthed new templates + infrastructure for the music3 space...they've also birthed a new version of me.
I was randomly flipping through an April '23 journal last night, and saw something I'd written about how CY said I was more focused on self-actualization than anyone he'd known (!!) What a huge compliment !
Because of my innate obsession with self-actualization, I am guaranteed to continue experiencing evolving degrees of it. Thank God ! And thanks CY for seeing this about me before I did. This is exponentially meaningful to me.

What: “Living With Lydia” picture-book drafts, written in Lahonian (an alphabet/language I created) about my guardian Angel, who I’ve had with me since I was v liddow When: 2000-2001 (age 9, grade 3) Who: by Pik-Tone Fung & I ;; Pik-Tone was my best friend for a long time. Here, she referred to herself as Pixe-Trixe, and I referred to myself as Arised Sfa Sgod.

The cover reads: (Front cover by: Arised Sfa Sgod) Living With Lydia Written by: Arised Sfa Sgod Illustrated by: Pixe-Trixe
Page 1 of the book reads: Hi! My name is Lydia. Welcome to my bedroom. Look at all the homework I have on my desk! I hope it won't take me long to complet(e) it all!

I still write in Lahonain, when I don't want anyone else to know what I'm writing about. I make art with Lahonian letters. Glad to share this primary artifact of the language here <3 xx
My aunt Ann Mortifee's musical "Reflections on Crooked Walking" was written in the 80s before I was born. I finally got to see it last week; went with Raven <3 My first time seeing any of Ann's plays.
Tomorrow, I've decided to go to stay with Ann for a few nights at her home on remote Cortes Island. She was one of my best friends before transitioning, and loosing our closeness after some painful chats was probably the hardest part of my transition all together.
Forgiveness, kindness, and reconciliation are values that I'm grateful I get to practice them this week. I am willing to be courageous if it means getting one of my best friends back. Looking forwards to closing out 2023 with one of my most kindred spirits.
