The last year and a half or so, whenever it was that I left this forum, has been hectic, chaotic, stressful, intense, and every other synonymic adjective you can think of. Many times I questioned whether everything I had been doing was worth it.
I am happy to say that, especially over the last month or two, many changes have begun happening in my life that are propelling me forward in increasingly positive ways. I am not sure how many of the legacy cast are still around here, nor especially who even really remembers me since I haven't been active since 2021 or so, but those who do may remember me as being mostly cheerful all the time even when my life was a mess. Wearing a mask has always been important to me because I enjoy positive environments, and I feel like being positive on the outside promotes such. I have been that way my whole life, trying to keep everyone around me happy often at the cost of my own happiness.
I plan to write a lengthy blog detailing what my life has been like for the past several years, and what its trajectory is like now. There are some amazing things happening this month that I simply cannot wait to talk about and I think my state of mind at this time is the best it has been in a very long time, if not ever. For the first time, I don't feel as if I need to wear a mask, as I finally have a genuine positive outlook on the future and I'm really excited to move forward. Things are truly great, and it's nice to finally mean it.
I've missed this site, and while I don't know if I'm going to be active again, I think I can afford myself to sign in every now and then to say hi and check in! The break was nice and much needed.
