          I'm a private person and my personal issues are not what any of you are here for. Frankly, it's not the purpose of my 'platform' -- if you can call it that -- to talk about myself, and for me, it's not something I like or want to do.
          
          I've realized though, that it's selfish of me to expect empathy and understanding and patience when you don't know the circumstances. 
          
          With how many writers leave this app and abandon their audiences, you have every right to assume I'm getting bored, or sloppy, or tired, or lazy, or 'falling off' in this current decline. Again, you don't know the circumstances.
          
          The point is, this is a two way street, you are all a part of my community because you see worth in what I do and that is something I will always appreciate. 
          
          So, I thought I would come on here and explain and give some value to your patience in hopes that you *do* understand. 
          
          With that said, I have been and will be stationed home with my mom for a while, taking things easy. Thanks to a new team of doctors who took my pain seriously, it's finally looking up. 
          
          I am on medication and starting a treatment plan, as of Wednesday. I feel a little better. Gross still, but deaths' door is not across the hall and that, I am grateful for. The brain-fog and fatigue is starting to clear already and I've been able to find bursts of inspiration.
          
          I've decided that I am no longer going to announce when I will update, I don't want to break hearts or promises because of something unforeseen on my end in terms of health. I will just update and hope to see you there.
          
          As I mentioned before, KKN is my current focus and for the past couple of days, it's been a good pick-me-up and distraction to reread old chapters and brainstorm new ones while in bed glued to my laptop for the time being. 
          
          Anyways, thank you so much, and I hope this all translates well.

          Hi, and Good Morning, Evening, or Afternoon.
          
          No, this is not bad news and no, this is not good news.
          
          Put the pitchforks away. To you, it's just news.
          
          However, my summer is off to an unfortunate start and this post is one that I make reluctantly to say the least.
          
          My health has taken a turn for the worst and on Monday, after waking up struggling to breathe, I've been faced with a diagnosis of a chronic illness that is altering my life. The quality, the course, and the most importantly, the outcome if left untreated for any longer. 
          
          Many of you know that my health has been suffering for some time now. I described it mid May as an 'unexpected bump in the road.' I've mentioned it briefly in announcements and authors notes before that, that I have been sick. Struggling with burn out, depression, anxiety, exhaustion, fatigue, etc. 
          
          But, I purposefully neglected to talk about the serious aspect of it and that I have been in and out of the hospital/ER more than nine times since January. 
          
          In between my time slamming my head against the keyboard and fighting tooth and nail with my dead brain for inspiration to feed all of you, I've been getting blood drawn, I've been getting CAT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, X-Rays, and more, trying to figure out why I've been losing tens of pounds, having migraines, fainting spells, insomnia, muscle aches, heart palpitations, nausea- the list goes on and it's really scary. I have struggled to walk, drive, see, think, cook, and clean.
          
          My symptoms were a lot more severe than I mentioned and I didn't feel the need to until now, because it's really effecting you guys.
