Please note: This chapter is meant to explain my absence, and to give my apology. If you aren't interested you don't have to read this, please note it does get rather emotional. Feel free to move onto the Rules / Information section if that's what you would prefer to do.
As of late, I haven't spent much time online. I remained in contact with a few close friends, but I completely shut down otherwise. I lost my great Nan recently, she was 95 years old. I've known her my entire life, I grew up hearing her voice. I heard her tell me stories of racing my Nan and her siblings, and then she helped race me, my siblings, and cousin. I was her great grandchild, she lived a very accomplished life, is loved by us all, and will never be forgotten.
I'll admit I didn't handle losing her well, not in the slightest. It wouldn't sink in for some reason, I kept expecting her to show up, I kept expecting to hear us all to stop crying, but that never happened. I love her, I always will, and I hope she is proud of me, and what I've done so far in my life. I know she wouldn't want me to remain in my state of numbness forever.
I'll admit, I'm not fully ready to be back online, but being active helps me a lot, doing something to help others fills me with joy, and talking to all of the amazing people I meet through my contests is amazing. These things will all help me heal, more than I would being all on my own.
Thank you for reading this, I hope you all appropriate how much your family and your friends mean to you. Be grateful for the people you have, even if they can sometimes drie you insane, or upset you. I'm so thankful for every one of you. <3
