hi my loves,
i’m so sorry for disappearing these last few months.
[trigger warning for readers ahead]
as some of you may know, i’ve struggled with my mental health considerably, and i went through a particularly rough patch, where i did not want to live anymore nor did i want to have any evidence of my existence left.
i won’t delve into detail but it’s been difficult & i didn’t know if i should ever come back on here because i’ve been so unhappy with myself and my work… but i’ve been working on myself, focusing on my health, doing art and finally, i started writing again.
i’ve been planning the rewrite for thirteen summers for a while now but i’ve finally started writing it, i was just so unhappy with many parts of the book and have since took it down — it’s now been 3 years since i first started it, and i’ve grown a lot since then and come a long way, i feel like this book is so close to my heart and it deserves better.
in ways, starting from the start and getting back into my old hobbies has helped me so much and saved me. i have chapters written but they’ll be posted in due time.
ofc, im not perfect and i’m still struggling a lot so i will not be committing to an updating schedule, just as i’m still taking a lot of time to recover and with professional help, and the help of friends and loved ones, im doing better <3
i love writing and i’ve missed you guys a lot, i may not be very interactive at the moment but just know i always see and appreciate all the support and love you all give me <33
