I haven't showed any signs of being alive for awhile now, and especially considering the troubling times we're in, I've come to the conclusion an update post is due.
In July 2020, just after I'd finally regained my writing passion and willpower, law exams were keeping me extremely busy. As if that wasn't enough, my laptop broke within the same month, and I lost plenty of writing and planning I had stored, as well as my graphic PSDs.
Upon buying a new laptop I started played an online game, League of Legends (let's be friends there!) and through it I met my boyfriend of six months and the love of my life. We're long distance, but it's the happiest I've been.
"The happiest I've been", in my life context, however, doesn't mean I'm particularly and profoundly /happy/. I've been overwhelmed by money "issues"(part-time loss due to COVID-19 messed with all of the plans I had for the future and the changes I need to make), university, my physical and mental health, which have never been very stable. Writing and reading Harry Potter fanfiction - the one constant in my life I've never once frowned upon - was always on my mind, but I simply couldn't do it.
I can't tell if it's another writing block, or if it's the fact I just generally feel sad all the time, but I can't write again just yet. I think I will - I hope I will - but I'll have to begin with slowly getting my life back on track before I can immerse myself in this fictional world again.
I am so, so thankful for my 3000 followers and the many views, comments and votes I've gotten in my stories throughout the years. It always made me think that my life had a purpose, that being who I was made someone happy out there. Being able to share my work with you has brought me a happiness and satisfaction that often pulled me out the darkest of places.
I just want to say thank you, and that even though I've been gone, it's not forever. I can never forget the joys of this place.
Stay safe.
