Hey guys!! Hiatus no more ❤️
          	.
          	I realize it’s kinda been forever since I’ve posted or updated anything on here. It’s been awhile, so here’s a lil re-hello <3
          	.
          	As I tend to do when I begin to focus on something new, I’ve hardly been on this site recently. I ended up in a cheeky lil digital detox while I focused on being present with my family, getting back into academics, and my side hobbies!
          	.
          	It’s so funny. Even though I love this platform as a creative outlet, I often find myself happier when I take time away from here. I judge myself less. I feel less pressure to create entertaining chapters to upload each week. I write and reflect not only for others, but for myself.
          	.
          	I’m hoping to carry this grounded energy of irl presence into the energy I have on this platform!! 
          	.
          	And I’m looking forward to returning from my extended hiatus ❤️
          	.
          	Feel free to re-introduce yourself in the replies too! How are you?

Dunno if it's a problem on only my phone, but the book "Harry Potter: Slytherin and sarcasm" only loads the first chapter when I try to open it

@SwiggetySwagger Ooh thanks for the concern! I’ve decided to unpublish it for the time being while I work on some other projects, so unfortunately you won’t be able to access it. Chances are I’ll start publishing it again at some point, but for now it’s off Wattpad. Hope this helps :)

Understanding oneself is, I think, the most fundamental thing anyone can work to do. I genuinely think it’s part of our purpose in life. To really, wholly understand yourself. As intangible and cheesy as that sounds. :)
          I think every external goal we strive to achieve is just an extension of applying that understanding of self.
          .
          When you understand your moods, feelings, triggers, fluctuations; you can observe them without judgement. Realise that it’s just another moment of you living varying aspects of Life. That the good comes with the bad; the “failures” with the “success”. You’re less likely to accept toxic relationships. You’ll chase paths not to satisfy your mom, or your following, or your peers. But kinda just for you.
          .
          I’ve spent a lot of time alone this year. More time with myself than I have with people, probably. I didn’t even know I had an inner dialogue.
          .
          A powerful and scary thing, staring yourself metaphorically in the face every day and questioning. Why do I do what I do? What are my values? Which moments, even fleeting, make me feel alive? And which really don’t?

@UntraceableGlass ooh definitely, and I feel like while that might be impossible practically, those moments where you sort of... pull down all barriers with someone are really special?
            I also feel like this has something to do with social penetration theory but ugh I can’t write today so google that if you’re interested-
            Like, even with that heck of a questionable conversation we had the other day where you said someone removed your filter. I liked that a lot, not because of whatever merde we talked about, but because it felt authentic?
            I like those interactions where you’re just sort of able to hear someone’s thoughts without them going through that filter of “okay, right, is this socially acceptable to say or not?” That’s really nice. Like, it doesn’t happen too often, but when it does it’s pretty darn awesome-
            (okay but now I highkey want to spend a day blurting out whatever I’m thinking and see what’ll happen-)

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I’ve unpublished S&S and am going to be keeping it for myself in my drafts instead; I’m hopefully going to be working on a few different projects here and there in the future that I’ll post here, so please look forward to those! <3

@azullite I'll be waiting for that then :)

Are we going to get S&S again? I'm already having withdrawals from it and I miss all of your characters unreasonably
