Hello, lovely people. I was reminded of the website I left behind for some time, and I found I missed it. Sometimes I struggle being "perceived" on the internet via my work (writing, art, etc.) that happens to be so personal, despite wanting connection. I was reading through my old blog postsโ€“ the distance and perspective helpsโ€“ and I still really connect with them and want them to be seen.

I'm driven by the whims of my raging ADHD so I can't promise a blog post is coming soon, but I find myself thinking up a chaotic script of vaguely connected thoughts. My blog post on discarding things is especially apt right now, being driven by intense hyperfocuses (this website was one big hyperfocus), and I may just expound on that.

So, in simple words, my blog page is back up! I'll have to parse through the rest of the site and decide what I want to re-release.

I'm also overwhelmed and gracious looking back at the interactions I've had with everyone here. So many beautiful, kind, and expressive souls. I'm very hard on myself, but I do feel a sadness when I abandon (even if only temporary) beautiful, creative pursuits such as this.

swiftred, you're one of the sites I occasionally check on while I struggle along with re-working my own pages. Your words and forms of expression have always stuck with me, and I even saved the snippet of text you wrote about my site... months? A year? ago because it helped remind me that maybe what I do means something. I really hope you can feel the same about this site , regardless of what happens. With much love.

Oh, @phi1l1y, I cannot express to you in words how much what you've said means to me, but I still want to try. I don't quite remember our first interaction, but I remember how it made me feel. I've only felt warmth when interacting with you. Thank you for all the heartfelt things you've ever said to me.

@phi1l1y And thank you for telling me that you visit. If I can venture to overshare, I often feel invisible, so there being a sign, however small, that I exist in someone else's mind free from my influence? That's everything to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You hold a special place in my heart
