Hello, everyone.

It has been a while since I've been on and active. My life was very messy. It still is, but it is much better than before. My life took a turn for the worse and suffering from depression didn't help. Lucky enough, I have a wonderful family that envelop me with warmth and kindness. Although, I am interally struggling with other matters. One that was particularly significant, not in a good way, went away. I have changed from when I was fourteen, now being twenty. Everything crumbled down when I was seventeen, but I decided that trauma shouldn't hung over my head forever. I want to live. I want to live my life the way I want to and I don't want to give anyone power over me. I am going to take my life on the road I have always thought it'd go and sure, bumps will come along. Life is never smooth, but I'm prepared. I'm going to be the same optimistic girl that I was born as. The trauma will forever be there, the damage was done, but I won't let it take that horrible control over me. I am better than those that did harm to me and I'll do better, be much better than I already am. I have gone back to my positive mind and life feels so much better since I've made that decision. After a talk with my mother it felt as if the weight on my shoulders was suddenly lifted. I'm prepared to take the wheel.

My stories have all been delayed. I have suffered from writer's block due to my mind having been cluttered by horrid events, but now that that is over I am going to go back to writing. I didn't want to continue writing stories, but I think I'm going to. I'm not 100% sure, but it's definitely reaching that percentage. I feel insipired. I feel wonderfully overwhelmed with joyous emotions. I thank my readers for staying by me and showing love to my stories. It really means a lot and I should return those beautiful feelings with updates of my stories.

It's a new year and I'll take that as a fresh start!
