Hi all,
First of all, I am so sorry I've been MIA. I did what I said I would never do, and I disappeared with no explanation for a long period of time.
I could give all of the excuses and explanations in the world, but they're irrelevant.
What I want you to know is that this has been the year of the black hole. If any of you have ever dealt with depression, situational, major, or any other, you will know what that means. And what matters now, is life has finally started falling into place. My world isn't gray and colorless anymore.
I don't want you all to take it personally. I stopped doing a lot of things that gave me joy this year. Maybe someday I'll detail more of what this year has given me. I think it would be beneficial for me to verbalize, and for others struggling to know: that no matter what, there is hope.
But for now, I'll leave you with this: I miss you all. I miss reading all of the blogs, as it seems a lot of them have stopped or gone to posting few and far between. I don't know how much I'll be able to offer of myself, as a lot has changed. I do want to write again. And if nothing else, I do want to give proper endings to both stories. I'm not saying I'm ending either or both anytime soon, but I don't want to leave all of my faithful readers hanging, either.
I'm traveling a lot in September for work and personal, so my goal is to return with blog posts starting in October sometime. I will let you all know at that time how often I'll be posting. My goal will be 1x/week, but this is also my busy season at work. So I may not commit to a consistent posting schedule at first, but my goal will be to get there again.
So, to finish up, again, I'm sorry. I really am. I'm disappointed in myself that I was unable to deliver posts that I had promised. And, I hope you all will come back and continue reading. If not, I completely understand.
<3 ~A
