Hi all.
I realize that it has been some years since I last updated anything. For that you all have my sincerest apologies.
Life has been quite the trip. Near two years ago, I broke up with my partner whom I had been with for 15 years. It was a mutual thing. We still very much care about each other and love each other, but we can to understand that we simply were not compatible as partners anymore. My goals, his goals changed overall, interests changed, and it simply wasn't working as a relationship.
As a result of that, I moved out and had to find a new place to live. It was a struggle to find a new place so quickly, especially with having a Great Dane who then developed a severe case of separation anxiety. My temporary roommate worked from home, so his howling forced me to find another place rather quickly.
So I got myself an apartment with someone whom I had known for several years, and then became my new life partner when we moved in together. It has been a year and a half now that he and I have been together, dealing with the stress of essentially learning how to adult for the first time (my ex pretty much took care of everything while I was in school). As well I was working two jobs, and still trying to finish my degree in Creative Writing (which I did last December, WITH HONORS! ^_^ )
During this time I was also dealing with severe depression (I was diagnosed with Chronic Depression almost 20 years ago) which included on a couple occasions, thoughts of suicide. I got help and, through therapy and medication, got myself back on track and am doing well in that area. I'm not longer in therapy or on medication and have not had any severe symptoms in a good long time.
Life has taken yet another turn and my partner and I are now in the process moving to another state. I moved early, and am staying with, ironically, my ex. While I establish a new job and secure a new home, my partner is still in our old place until the our lease is up. Then I fly back and get him and our things, and we move into the new place at the end of July.
Once that is all said and done, I have every confidence that I will finally be in a mental place that I will be happy and mentally healthy, and that will then lead to returning to writing.
To those of you who have remained my watchers over the years long silence, I truly thank you. I cannot express my appreciation for you sticking around and understanding that life simply gets in the way sometimes, and sometimes for long periods. Just know that I am finally doing well for the first time in several years, and things are getting back on track enough for me to get going with writing again in the next few months.
Thanks again to all my watchers, family, and friends for your patience and understanding!
