Update: In July (2024), I found out that I had mono, and it got so bad that I had to go into the ER. I also found out that I had three other types of infections as well, and was told that in rare cases, mono can hit harder and last much longer for certain people. I am one of them. This year has also been plagued with extreme amounts of loss and change, which does not help my recovery. Unfortunately, mono has caused brain fog/cognition issues for the past few months as well, but I wanted to give this update to confirm that I will return to posting hopefully soon! The Rift is far from over, and I am excited and honored to be sharing it with all of you. Thank you for your support and stay healthy out there!
