So, yeah, it's been maybe five years since last I was well and truly active on here. A lot's changed, and well, I'm putting this out here in hopes of perhaps amending that. I don't wanna make any promises, but at the same time, I guess I'm putting this out there as a means of motivating my own self as well. For anyone wondering about the silence, basically, I hit a long stretch of writer's block due to stressors with life and losing a family member in spring of 2017 didn't help, either. From there, it felt like it was physically impossible to write even drafts anymore and everything I made, I'd delete due to anxiety and doubt. It was so frustrating, I even felt like crying some days and attempting to force myself just made me even more upset by how sloppy and shallow the results seemed to me. I can't even confidently say if that held water or if it was just my mental state causing such. I may have also wound up drifting from a lot of people due to finding it hard to connect with
