To everyone who used to read my stories here,
Hi. It’s Riri.
I honestly don’t even know how to start this properly because it’s been a while since I last logged into this account. I disappeared very suddenly without saying anything, and I know I owe all of you an apology for that.
Life has just been really hard lately. One of the main reasons I disappeared in the first place was because of my sessional exams. It’s my final year of master’s, so everything has been extremely hectic and exhausting. On top of classes and exams, I’ve also been working on my thesis, which has genuinely been one of the most mentally draining things I’ve ever dealt with.
I kept thinking I would come back after exams ended. But then my grandmother passed away. She was the person I was closest to, and after losing her, I honestly haven’t been able to focus on anything properly. Everything started feeling heavy after that. Days began passing too fast while somehow feeling unbearably long at the same time. Life lately feels like a bullet train moving at full speed while I keep waiting for it to slow down for just a moment, but it never really does. So, yeah.
And because of all of that, writing became difficult too. Even the things that usually make me happy haven’t felt the same recently. I haven’t even been able to keep up with everything happening with Seventeen lately, which honestly says a lot because they’ve always been my biggest comfort :(
