This is the story of a girl.... not just any girl. A girl whose life didn't exactly go according to plan.
There was burnout. There were medications. There were diagnoses, questions, wrong turns, revelations… and a lot of trying to figure out what the hell happened. And somewhere in the middle of all that... while trying to figure out who she was underneath it... something strange began to take shape.
A place to hide.
A place to create.
A place to figure shit out.
And eventually, a Fort.
This is the somewhat accidental origin story of the Mystic Moon Fort.

Welcome back to my own personal documentary, where I, the narrator, am also the protagonist, the victim, and the unpaid therapist.
This episode: the origin story nobody asked for!
Burnout, work, mental health, meds, more meds, and the dramatic slow-motion car crash of my own life.
Annd it ends with me realizing there might be some pretty significant plot holes in the story I've been telling myself about who I am.
This season's theme? What if the manual you were given for your own life was written by someone who clearly never read the source code?
So, let's start dissecting my own mythology. Because why not? My self-awareness is the only thing that's been working overtime.
