I'm back!

So sorry everyone, the last few weeks have been... a strain on me.

I am still doing my media course and all, but mentally and emotionally,

I was slipping down into a dark place. My sleeping patterns have been messed up, my nerves have been completely out of control, my self-doubt, anxiety and depression drained me so much that I found it really hard to write, so I needed time to gather myself. It was so hard for me to pick up a pen. To do anything. My smiles were hollow and I just felt so lost.

I just wanted to apologise, I didn't mean to worry anyone. I'm truly touched by the out-pour of support for me. I got so many messages asking if I was alright. I can't express how much that warmed my heart. I'm so used to people being angry at me for my silence that it usually scares me to come back. By nature, with everything I've experienced, it's made me more and more of an isolationist. To all of those people, truly, thank you so so much for staying and just being kind to me...

Really. Thank you T-T

And thank you to all my followers, old and new.

245 followers... I can't even... T-T

I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record but thank you.

I'm back now, and I'm feeling better.

It's easier to hold my pen so I will resume spilling my ink.

I'll continue the Masked Bard on Thursday, I'm free the whole day.

I have no idea of my schedule the coming week.

Again, I appreciate everyone one of you.

Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.

Thank you for staying with someone like me.

With much love,

Lyn ***

♡
