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.

Betty, we hardly knew ye.
Here it is.. the end of an era. Betty's fate sealed with a kiss from a telephone pole.
Tragic, yet not unexpected. And that's only the begining of the end... There's also the immediate aftermath, the passengers, the police, the job situation and some divine timing.
The Universe has a sense of humor, and apparently my life is held together by the same duct tape that attempted to hold the hole shut in Betty's soft top.
Which, if you listened to the last episode, should tell you everything you need to know about the structural integrity of my life.
πͺ¦π
Rest in Peace Betty.
___________________________________________________________
I really wanted to get all the memories and stories from my time with Betty. This "Car Saga" is like, a public diary and art project for me. If anyone else enjoys any of it, that would warm my heart, but if not? I'm fine with it just being a historical personal recount of my poor choices as a teenager. So I've decided to put the extras out into Bonus episodes at some point on my newly created FREE (for now?) Patreon!
The Saga Continues!
Okay so if you thought Part 1 of the Betty saga was a lot⦠buckle up. Like, for real.
Before we get to Betty's final and most dramatic chapter, there are still tales left to tell!
Some hooligans decided to go on an absolute rampage through the neighborhood one night, and our backyard got robbed. They took a few things, including any desire I had to ever own a soft top again. I talk about an Alice in Wonderland rave that could have been epic, followed by a 2am drive home on a curly mountain road.
And somehow, in the middle of all this, I land a job in the government? Specifically the government branch that is in charge of motor vehicles⦠and then I forgot to use my brain and uh⦠By the end of this episode, things⦠take a turn for the worst.
And that's where I'm leaving you.
Continue to the next episode to discover Betty's fate?
YES NO

This is the first official episode of The Mystic Moon Fort!Broadcasting from the Garaj Mahal, we are paying tribute to the gone but not forgotten cars of the past.
POV: The year is 2010. You're 18, driving a '94 BMW convertible with the top down, blasting T.I. and way too confident in your driving skills.
Basically... it's a great example of what NOT to do when you get your Drivers license. Lots of bad descisions, lots of self roasting and lots of luck.
This episode has it all, we've got drifting, A broken axle, a Marty Mcfly impersonator,and a far too many close encounters with cops. Featuring a THC tolerance that I still believe could have given Snoop a run for his money.
This is part one. and it's a bumpy one....
(Still trying to figure out my recording workflow π ποΈπ€)
So buckle up.
Welcome to my world! This is what happens when perfectionism finally loses and I stop trying to seem normal. I talk about mental health, how saying things out loud helps my brain process stuff, and just weird side quests of conversations in here as well as me just being real... (Real Silly).
Oh and I play a little bit of a song at the end of the episode! Hope you enjoy the chaos of my brain. π½
