Hi, guys! I know it’s been a long time. I thought I’d come up here and let you guys know that I’m MOSTLY alive. A lot’s been happening as always in my life but, it turns out I’ve been dealing with undiagnosed ADHD which explains my inconsistency over the years. I’ve told you guys about my mental health before, I just didn’t know the cause of most of it. I thought I was broken, I still feel that way most of the time but I’ve been trying to navigate how to trick my brain which is constantly following dopamine. Looking back, it all has kind of made sense because when I first started I was crapping out content for you guys 24/7. Back then I was so hyper-fixated, I wouldn’t sleep or eat until I finished.
I miss that.
I miss writing.
When people ask me what I wanna do with my life, I say “I want to write stories.”
There isn’t a day that I don’t want to sit down and just write and my brain refuses to let me just do. It’s slipped into other areas of my life and on top of the stress at work, I’ve just been trying to survive.
One of my goals this year is to publish a book, mainly some of my short stories. It’s a lot easier to get smaller projects done. I have to pace myself so I don’t burn out. That being said, it’s a slow season at my job and I’ve been having some more time on my hands. I will be writing behind the scenes here and there and getting some content out to you guys as soon as I can.
As always, I thank you guys for your support. I hope the year has started amazing for each of you.
Mother Melanin,
