My apologies to anyone who's still hanging with me on this page, only to come up empty. Depression keeps telling me to check out, so I'm fighting to keep my head above water right now. I feel like I've been fighting the same battle for years, only to feel new attacks from different fronts. I might delete this message later . . . I feel like I'm over-sharing. I just feel so guilty that I haven't finished the last incomplete story I chose to upload here, and that I haven't been around to support people like I should. 
          
          I believe strongly in supporting other writers, and yet this war with my brain and my circumstances eats at me until all that's left feels like a never-ending tiredness.
          
          Anyway, I hope that all of you are getting what you need to keep going wherever you are. ❤ I don't mean to be a downer, I just felt like I needed to explain myself (and maybe I don't, but I'm really not in the frame of mind to help myself figure it out; the simplest decisions tie me in knots these days).

Am I re-editing things I've already written and reviewed to help me get (creatively) unstuck? I sure am.
          
          To whoever's comfortable answering: What do you do to ease yourself back into your flow?

I'm going to need people to stop transitioning back-to-back. (I say that with a mixture of humor and desperation that's heavy on the desperation.)

It's been fifteen years since the man I consider my musical guardian angel transitioned ❤. I will always think the world colder for your absence, Michael, and the cruelty your name has endured in life and death continues to sting.

Happy heavenly birthday to Prince, whose soul lives on in his music; I wish Wattpad was into purple hearts, but in the meantime: ❤!

Happy 58th birthday to Janet Damita Jo Jackson, the best friend that I've never met, and whose resilience, heart, and creativity have never ceased to inspire me ❤!

It's hard to believe it's been EIGHT years. Rest well, Prince ❤. (To everyone who saw my original post, forgive my math. This week has been filled with downers, and I'm tired.)

Chronic stress and chronic illness are no fun. If anyone else is struggling like I am right now, I send you my best. ❤

Hi, everyone! If you've been following 'Journey to Love', you've probably noticed that the promised March updates didn't come to pass. Between intensifying general life stressors and commemorating a particularly emotional death anniversary, my writing life has been interrupted. That said, I'm not giving up and I'm trying my best to get back on track. So, in the meantime, if you haven't already caught up with the existing eight chapters, there's still time. Otherwise, thank you for your patience ❤.

          Also, if you observe today, I wish you a wonderful Easter/Resurrection Sunday. And if not, I wish you a wonderful day in general. ❤

Another one escapes the dust! If you're into short, candy sweet romances, this might be fun for you.

          Side note: I wrote this story to cheer me up while I was working on more emotionally taxing material. Because it's me, I didn't completely stray from the 'heavy' stuff, but it's definitely on the lighter side.
