“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix


I haven't been active on here in forever. Every week or two I log on, cast a despairing gaze over the mounting numbers in my inbox, and slowly drag my cursor back to the little red x one more time. I haven't written anything in forever, either, and I can feel the creative parts of my brain slowly shrivelling into nuggets. Going to try to change that, hopefully.

A lot of shit has happened recently??? and I'm still processing everything and learning how to human again.

:bulletblack: I decided to take a semester off from college to focus on work -- then my car broke down and I lost my job. I lost my 4 month old godson to SIDS a few days before Halloween. I'm on the verge of losing my apartment but desperately clinging to any vestiges of hope that I can still pull myself up by the bootstraps (will edit/proofread/write papers for monies???).
:bulletwhite: On the flip side of the coin,
my sister moved back in with me after a crash-and-burn attempt at living with her dad (we're both much happier when she's here). I'm finally losing weight and making my health (both physical and mental) a priority. And best of all, I met an amazing man who treats me like gold and made me remember what feelings are and why I shouldn't disconnect from people altogether.

So... here's to making the rest of 2015 count.
