Hey guys— I’m coming to you from an airport terminal at the moment where I have no choice but to sit around and do nothing! I know it’s been a while— for everyone, not just my faithful readers but many friends I have made on this journey as well. I want to apologize for not reaching out or speaking to ANYONE. There’s no excuse for separating myself and I hope with all my heart that I can be forgiven. The reason I haven’t been around is because I’ve been INCREDIBLY busy for one— graduated (I have my bach degree!!), tragically lost one of my students to murder, found my future husband and have been moving into his place for the last couple months, and some twists and turns just within my head. The saddest reason I’ve been missing is because now that my life has completely turned around (in a good way) I’ve realized that I had a very negative relationship with writing— I only ever associated it with my depression. The only time I wrote was when I was sad and needed to get my feelings out, which is why I’ve written so much over the years. Now that I’m much healthier, I’ve hit a block and been terrified to come back out of fear of slipping into my old depressive habits. So as of right now, I write a little tiny bit each day and I’m trying to rebuild my relationship with writing into one of passion rather than simply an outlet. To all my friends and readers, I love you all so much and feel immaculately blessed to have you. The messages you send, even when I don’t reply, keep inching me closer to my writing goals. I don’t know when I will return, but I’m trying very hard for all of you. Thank you for sticking around and I hope we can all regroup in a new chapter soon❤️
