Gas Station Grand Opening
Jul. 14th, 2026 05:32 pm Today a gas station had a grand opening and I absolutely loved it! I spun the wheel at a booth and won a dollar off coupon for a chicken sandwich. I also got a free coffee. It was fun!
In other news, some other AI songs of mine got released on platforms today so I’m pretty excited about that. I’m virtually working with a songwriter in Africa too so I’m excited about that.

Pink Ink & Blindness
Jul. 13th, 2026 04:11 pmI used pink ink my little handwritten journal today because it made me smile. I like feeling young and carefree with pink.
This is a picture of the handwritten entry I wrote with pink ink >> https://photobucket.com/share/aa15892d-e15b-4821-8858-a97d5542cca0
Here is the entry:
Dear Diary,
Today I am using pink ink to express myself. I feel sort of happy about life but sad too. I keep seeing floaters in the eye that doctor said I have optic nerve swelling in. I may go blind in one eye but I can do is enjoy what little life I have left with two good eyes. I have a gift I was given with my vision. I guess God gives and takes away. I am very blessed to have a family.

sunday fun day
Jul. 12th, 2026 05:30 pm Dear Diary,
Today I ate soup and drank some coffee Mum bought for me at a gas station. It was nice.
I also changed the background to my computer to a checkered purple aesthetic. I changed my mouse cursor to purple too. Can you tell I like purple? Hehe
Love, Aleah
Fun Saturday
Jul. 11th, 2026 04:57 pm It was a lazy Saturday. Mom took me to the mall and an electronic store. I drooled over the laptops. At the mall, I had a $10 Birthday Cash Pass from JCPenney so I bought myself a $14 necklace for $4.45. Made me pretty damn happy lol I would have bought a shirt or something at JCPenney but it's crazy how old fashioned most of their clothes are.
I wanted to start saving $200 a month for about 6 months for a Macbook Neo but I'm scared of the learning curve. I already have an entry level, basic HP Windows laptop but honestly, it's so basic it doesn't do much. I don't have a lot of memory on it but it does the job I guess. So I don't know. I might just get a rose gold or light pink Windows HP computer with more memory! Maybe by the time the Back To School sale rolls around it will be cheap! I just looked up the price and it's only close to $359 on sale. That means I would only have to save for three months. I would start saving immediately next month but I have to pay off my credit card bill.
I'm really happy Mom and Grandma sacrificed and let me go to the mall and went shopping at an electronic store. It was fun! Aren't they nice? I wish I was nicer. I've just been so damn lonely. It's been years and years. Every since I was little, my social world has been small because of my autism. People don't know what to do with people that think and talk differently because of their disabilities.

P.S. - Here is a book cover of a secular poetry book that I wrote a few years ago. The book is called Like A Garden and it has a floral aesthetic

Stayed At Home
Jul. 10th, 2026 02:08 pm I stayed at home all day working on music and attempting to sneak in a reading session with my library book but I failed. I just can't read anymore. I don't know why. I guess it's because I'm online a lot and I don't feel like reading or watching movies or anything. I just love listening to music. I am going to start smash journaling when Grandma gets home too. We'll see how that works out.
a poem
Jul. 9th, 2026 08:43 pmShe wakes up
Can’t find someone to blame
Cat runs up and purrs
But she pushes him away
God what more do you want?
A room full of books and electronic things?
She’s got family that loves her more than anything
So why is so she so damn mean?
Word gets around all she’s had are situation-ships
And one night flings
An old maid
That’s out of place
An oddity
Everyone walks past her like she’s a statue
A statue
Oh, they say partying gets old
Did she listen?
Oh, no!
They say time slips through your fingers
And it’s true
She just wants wings so she can fly back in time
Shopping, Library & Music Woes
Jul. 9th, 2026 06:10 pm Super upset that I am uploading a bunch of pictures onto DreamWidth but not getting any luck with actually POSTING the pictures in my blog. It's very upsetting. I can't figure it out.
On a happier note, I went to Target and bought some notebooks for my journaling and lyric writing for only $0.39 each. Grandma got me a kitty cat mouse wrist rest thing. It rests your wrist while you use your mouse. It's really cool. It was only $2.50 on sale. I wanted to buy books so badly but I refrained and borrowed some books from the library. I also wanted a cute five dollar digital camera but Grandma said it would be too cheap and break easily.
Back to the library update, I had fun checking out books and CDs. I think I'll switch to CDs soon as soon as I find one of my old CD players.
I found out my music distributer allowed another song I uploaded onto Spotify. It's called Gallows & Galleries. It's not under the Top Songs. It's under my main discography if you click my name on the Spotify player underneath. Alas, it will only work if you have the $14.99 membership to Spotify. Even though I'm trying to make a living on streaming platforms, I think I'm going to cancel my Spotify membership. It's too expensive for me, unfortunately. I'm glad I'm selling some of my songs as digital downloads and CDs though. I do see how musicians made a lot more money back then. Back then, all the songs HAD to sound amazing because people were investing in an entire catalog of music. Nowadays, people just stream mostly their favorite singles. Today, music sells at 0.0001 per stream on sites like Tidal and Spotify. That's not much money BUT making music because I love to do it is the main reason I do it. I'm not a "real musician" I let AI do everything for me. It sings the songs, creates the melodies and I just let the lyrics flow. It's FUN! I'm really happy there's people out there that don't care whether or not their music is made from a machine or a real person. To me, music is music. Let it flow. Sure, AI has it's flaws. If anything, AI sounds "too perfect" but it's fun to do when you can't afford to hire musicians.

obsessed with music
Jul. 7th, 2026 11:15 amI'm sitting on my HP laptop listening to some old school Evanescence music. I love her hauntingly beautiful vocals. Lately, I've been moving from Lady Gaga and listening to other bands like Girli, Thirty Seconds to Mars and more.
Did I tell you I write lyrics? I turn them into Pop/Rock or Soul songs using an AI music maker app called Suno. It's really fun. My vocal ability or ability to play any instruments has never been strong so it's nice to hear your lyrics come to life through a synthetic voice. I've been uploading them to Spotify under the name Aleah Kate using a music distributer. I also turned the songs into a CD I titled a hundred thousand roses. You can view that here: www.elasticstage.com/aleahsmusic
No pressure to purchase of course! In this economy, prices get steep. I set the price to the lowest I was allowed to by the site. Anyway, hope you at least enjoy the samples of the songs.

July 6 2026 Handwritten Journal
Jul. 6th, 2026 02:52 pm2:33pm July 6 2026 Dear journal, Listening to girli. I love the song matriarchy. "While we touch we fuck the patriarchy." It is about sapphic love being different than straight love. I love the band Girli. I’m really closer to womanhood than masculinity lately and that’s okay. I appreciate the masculinity that I feel sometimes but I guess it’s okay that I feel only a slight connection to it nowadays. I miss being picked out in the bars. I guess I just lost myself. I used to be young. I had a good run. I guess I just need to put myself online. I hate that but it’s the only way I know how to find a woman. In a way, I don’t like men. They just like ladies young and they leave. It’s crazy. A woman could be that way too. I could find a woman or a nonbinary or whatever that tricks me too but I want to find someone. Honestly, I’m just tired of being with family. I just want to create my own family. -Aleah/Westleah
Owe A lot
Jul. 6th, 2026 11:15 am Sitting on my iPad again. Thinking about going to work around the house to both earn some money and know how to take care of a partner one day. I rode the bike with my sunglasses and it ended up not being too bad. I was scared to do it at first but I’m glad I did it! The sunglasses weren’t too tinted. I think I’m going to guzzle down my $1 coffee though and get home fast before it gets too hot outside.
Another random thought: I think I want to save money in order to adopt or have IVF one day. I really want a partner but I don’t know if I’ll ever find my person. Especially as I get older. No one in the bars wants me now that I’m older. Not even the men which is weird for me. I’m attracted to men but I’m really curious and fantasize about dating women. Alas, we will see how this goes.
I owe a lot of money to my credit card and money to my Mom. It’s about $100 total. It’s not a lot for some people but it is for me as someone on SSI. But no matter, this too will pass.
Speaking of Mom, here’s half of Mom and I with my soup from yesterday.

Well, signing off. Going to write in my handwritten journal now. Bye!

A Hand to Straighten My Back
Jul. 5th, 2026 12:33 am
📝 Оригинальный текст записи
Привет всем, кто всё ещё читает меня.
Иногда мне кажется, что мои записи постепенно меняются. Раньше я чаще вспоминал какие-то истории из прошлого: спонтанные поездки к морю, смешные приключения, неожиданные знакомства. Сейчас же мои истории всё чаще напоминают трагикомедию. И вместо воспоминаний мне почему-то хочется говорить о самых простых желаниях.
Наверное, потому что именно простых вещей сейчас не хватает больше всего.
Каждый день я очень остро ощущаю этот контраст. С одной стороны, я благодарен уже за то, что могу ночевать в собственной квартире. После всего происходящего это само по себе стало ценностью. С другой стороны, большая часть моей жизни по-прежнему принадлежит работе. Пока люди идут на море, я продолжаю заниматься документами, звонками, подготовкой, решением чужих проблем. Когда вечером кто-то встречается с друзьями или гуляет по набережной, для меня небольшим отдыхом становится приготовить ужин или ненадолго отключить телефон.
Если честно, сегодня мне очень хотелось поехать послушать уличных музыкантов. Но я настолько устал, что даже это желание так и осталось желанием.
Наверное, ещё сильнее я скучаю не по самим прогулкам. Мне не хватает чего-то гораздо более простого. Человеческого присутствия. Человека, которому не нужно объяснять, почему ты молчишь. С которым можно просто сесть в машину, открыть окна, включить музыку и бесцельно ехать по вечернему городу. Заехать за мороженым по акции, остановиться у моря или просто молча слушать любимые песни.
Наверное, именно таких моментов мне сейчас не хватает больше всего.
Пока же всё выглядит иначе. До позднего вечера продолжаются звонки, сообщения, документы, работа, помощь людям. За последнее время было слишком много всего: поиск доноров,, похороны, кладбище, постоянные чужие истории, которые невольно становятся частью моей собственной жизни. И иногда мне кажется, что на помощь самому себе времени почти не остаётся.
Поэтому своими мыслями мне проще делиться здесь.
Жизнь постепенно научила меня осторожности. Мне всё труднее открываться случайным людям. Не потому, что они плохие. Просто я всё чаще чувствую, что смотрю на многие вещи иначе. И со временем перестал бороться с этим.
Пока рядом есть мои коты, возможность приготовить что-то на своей кухне и несколько спокойных вечерних часов, я стараюсь радоваться этому. Может быть, однажды снова появится возможность просто взять книгу и читать её несколько часов подряд, не отвлекаясь на телефон.
Недавно у меня появился старый велосипед. Наверное, он почти такой же ретро, как и я сам. Возможно, даже старше. Забавно, но пока он просто стоит и ждёт своего времени. Сил или свободного вечера, чтобы наконец выехать на нём, у меня пока так и не нашлось. Очень хочется верить, что однажды этот момент всё-таки наступит.
Иногда заглядываю в секонд-хенды. Покупаю вещи, которые, возможно, даже не успею надеть. Несколько игрушек. Что-то совершенно не обязательное. Наверное, это моя маленькая попытка напомнить себе, что жизнь состоит не только из обязанностей.
Особенно странно наблюдать за тем, как по-разному сейчас выглядит жизнь вокруг. Моему городу будто дали возможность немного выдохнуть. Люди снова гуляют, отдыхают, строят планы, всё реже реагируют на сигналы тревоги. Но война ведь никуда не исчезла. Просто иногда человеку очень хочется поверить, что опасность прошла.
Наверное, мы все так устроены.
А я всё ещё учусь жить рядом с этой новой реальностью. Учусь быть собой. Учусь не позволять происходящему окончательно забрать способность замечать простые вещи, которые делают меня живым.
Иногда мне кажется, что мне не хватает какой-то опоры. Словно чьей-то руки, за которую можно было бы ухватиться всего на мгновение. Не для того, чтобы меня вели. А только чтобы снова выпрямить спину, сделать глубокий вдох и дальше идти уже самому. Наверное, именно в этом и разница. С возрастом всё чаще понимаешь, что по-настоящему рассчитывать можно только на себя. И, наверное, взросление для меня сейчас именно об этом — учиться быть самостоятельным не потому, что так хочется, а потому что иначе уже не получается.
Наверное, впереди меня ещё ждёт своеобразный курс социализации. За последние годы я настолько привык жить в другом ритме, что иногда мне тяжело просто начать разговор с человеком. И всё же я ловлю себя на том, что мне искренне нравится общаться. Пусть даже несколько минут с продавцом сигарет, с женщиной на рынке, которая продаёт овощи, или с незнакомцем, с которым случайно пересеклись взглядами. Иногда кажется, что я просто соскучился по обычному человеческому общению. Не поверхностному. Настоящему.
Сейчас в моей жизни не так много ярких историй, которые можно было бы рассказать. А те, что есть, пока ещё слишком тяжёлые, чтобы выпускать их наружу. Возможно, однажды придёт и их время. Но точно не сейчас.
Когда-то я любил строить планы на годы вперёд. Представлял, где окажусь, что буду делать, каким станет моё будущее. Сейчас всё изменилось. Я почти перестал жить будущим. Вместо этого всё чаще стараюсь сделать особенным сегодняшний день. Запомнить его. Найти в нём что-то, за что можно быть благодарным. Потому что именно из таких дней, самых обычных, и складывается жизнь. Не из больших побед, а из тихих вечеров, случайных разговоров, хорошей музыки, дороги домой, горячего кофе, объятий котов и ощущения, что сегодня, несмотря ни на что, ты остался собой.
И, наверное, именно это сейчас важнее всего. Не потерять себя окончательно
Потому что всё остальное со временем обязательно изменится.

Hello to everyone who still reads me.
Sometimes it seems to me that my journal entries are gradually changing. I used to write more about stories from the past: spontaneous trips to the sea, funny adventures, unexpected encounters. Now my stories are becoming more and more like tragicomedies. And instead of looking back, I find myself wanting to talk about the simplest of wishes.
Perhaps because it is the simplest things that I miss the most right now.
Every day I feel this contrast very deeply. On the one hand, I am grateful simply to be able to sleep in my own apartment. After everything that has happened, even that has become something valuable. On the other hand, most of my life still belongs to work. While people are heading to the beach, I am dealing with documents, phone calls, preparations, and solving other people's problems. While someone spends the evening with friends or walks along the waterfront, my own way of unwinding is cooking dinner or switching my phone off for a little while.
To be honest, today I really wanted to go and listen to the street musicians.
But I was simply too exhausted. So even that wish remained only a wish.
Perhaps what I miss even more is not the walks themselves. What I really miss is something much simpler.
Another person's presence. Someone who doesn't need an explanation for your silence.
Someone you can simply sit in a car with, roll down the windows, turn on some music, and drive through the evening city without any destination. Stop to buy discounted ice cream, park by the sea, or simply listen to your favorite songs together without saying a word.
Perhaps these are the moments I miss the most. For now, though, life looks different.
The phone calls continue until late in the evening. Messages. Documents. Work. Helping people. Lately there has simply been too much of everything: searching for blood donors, funerals, cemeteries, other people's stories that somehow become part of my own life.
And sometimes it feels as though there is almost no time left to help myself. That is why it is easier for me to share these thoughts here.
Life has gradually taught me to be cautious. It has become harder and harder for me to open up to people I barely know. Not because they are bad people. I simply find myself seeing the world differently more and more often. And eventually I stopped fighting that.
As long as I still have my cats, the chance to cook something in my own kitchen, and a few quiet hours in the evening, I try to appreciate those things.
Maybe one day I will once again have the chance to pick up a book and spend several uninterrupted hours reading it without being distracted by my phone.
Not long ago I got an old bicycle. It is probably almost as retro as I am. Maybe even older. It's funny, but for now it simply stands there, waiting for its time. I still haven't found either the energy or a free evening to finally take it for a ride. I really want to believe that one day that moment will come.
Sometimes I stop by second-hand stores. I buy clothes that I may never even have the chance to wear. A few toys. Things that are completely unnecessary. Perhaps this is my own small way of reminding myself that life is made of more than duties and responsibilities.
It is especially strange to watch how differently life looks around me now. It feels as though my city has been given a chance to breathe for a little while. People are walking again, relaxing, making plans, reacting less and less to the sound of air raid alerts. But the war hasn't disappeared. Sometimes people simply want to believe that the danger has passed. Perhaps that is just how we are. And I am still learning how to live alongside this new reality.
Learning to remain myself.
Learning not to let everything that is happening take away my ability to notice the simple things that make me feel alive. Sometimes I feel as though I am missing some kind of support. As if there were someone's hand I could hold onto for just a moment. Not so that someone could lead me. Just so I could straighten my back once again, take a deep breath, and then continue walking on my own. Perhaps that is exactly the difference. As I get older, I understand more and more that, in the end, the only person I can truly rely on is myself. And perhaps growing up, for me now, is exactly about this: learning to stand on my own not because I want to, but because life leaves no other choice.
I suppose I still have a kind of course in socialization ahead of me.
Over the past few years I have become so used to living in a different rhythm that sometimes it is difficult even to start a conversation with someone. And yet I often catch myself genuinely enjoying talking to people. Even if it is only a few minutes with the man selling cigarettes, the woman selling vegetables at the market, or a stranger whose eyes happen to meet mine.
Sometimes it feels as though I simply miss ordinary human connection. Not something superficial. Something genuine. Something real. There are not many bright stories in my life right now that I feel ready to tell. And the ones that do exist are still too heavy to let out into the world. Perhaps one day their time will come. But certainly not now.
There was a time when I loved making plans years ahead. imagined where I would end up, what I would be doing, what my future would look like. Now everything has changed.
I have almost stopped living in the future. Instead, I find myself trying to make today special. To remember it. To find something in it to be grateful for. Because it is exactly from days like these, the ordinary ones, that life is built. Not from great victories. But from quiet evenings. Unexpected conversations. Good music. The road home. A hot / cold cup of coffee.
The warmth of my cats.
And the feeling that today, despite everything, I managed to remain myself.
And perhaps that is what matters most right now.
Not to lose myself completely.
Because everything else will eventually change
On The 250th Birthday Of AMERICA
Jul. 4th, 2026 05:37 pmHello!
What a happy day! I went out to the mall with Mum and Grandma and looked at purses and shoes. I bought a checkered hat at VANS. It was nice.
Later today, I got a nice lemonade from Panera’s and drank it down. I got a free cookie from Panera’s too. I’m excited to see what tonight brings!
