Hello, my pioneers and fellow queers! 
          
          I have an apology to make. 
          
          I am so sorry for my complete lack of updates, and for the very slow progress on Heroes of Old. To be transparent with all of you, a lot has happened to me in the past few months. I lost many good friends, discovered many new things about myself that aren't good, some very unpleasant childhood memories resurfaced, I got hearing aids, got a part-time job as a waitress, and fell into one of the worst depression episodes that I've ever had. I haven't had a whole lot of time, motivation, or energy to put into writing, which makes me incredibly sad because writing is my passion.
          
          I am not telling you these things to get pity or to blow off how long it's been since I took Heroes of Old down originally. I actually hate pity. And I am painfully aware of just how long I've kept people waiting. 
          
          I'm sharing this with you to simply remind you that I'm human. Shitty things happen to humans, and we do shitty things in response. 
          
          I am trying to improve my mental health and turn my life around, but it's not easy. So far, I've hit nothing but brick walls and I've had very little success. But I'm not going to stop, because giving up is how I got here in the first place. I'm seeing a therapist now, though not as regularly as I'd like, but she's been helping me with many things and giving me easier ways to build routines. I'm trying to write more often because the gods know how badly I want to finish a project/book for once. I have a second book that I'm writing alongside Heroes of Old, but I'm trying to keep that one on the back burner so I can get close to the end with Heroes of Old and start publishing. 
          
          I truly do apologize for my absence. Please know that I am trying to do better. <3
          
          Blessed be!

hey everybody 
          
          guess what haha
          
          i was diagnosed with auditory processing disorder and placed on annual hearing test recall to look for hearing loss
          
          and I'm probably getting hearing aids soon
          
          isn't that hilarious
          
          it's almost like I've been telling my parents that something was wrong with my hearing for two years

Update: I'm getting hearing aids on October 14th. slay

Uhm, see I don’t generally spend my time stuffing my finger in my bellybutton due to the fear that if something gets inside, I’m afraid it won’t come out

so, I'm hyperfixating on ancient symbols and their histories, origins, meanings, etc. would anyone be interested if I made a book on them?
          
          any suggestions on symbols to research?
          
          I'm bored out of my mind and its literally the first day of fall break lmao

eikomalcolm

yeah haha remember that? i didn't
