Things are hard right now. The world feels like a very ugly place, despite reminders that there is good out there beyond the headlines that have been all too frequent lately. I’m struggling with my health, with the heat, with depression, with fatigue. I’ve buried myself in busywork to survive, and I’ve not been the most social. Instead, I’m spending time with family and trying to find my way back to the living. If it seems I’m not here so much, that’s why. I’m not really on hiatus or anything, I’m just turned inward at the moment. Quiet.
