Hi :)

I am glad you are still active here and we are getting a chance to reconnect a bit.

Between the burnout, the not so fun stuff that happened to me, and the fact that more often than not when I think about posting my brain goes "Nobody cares, Melyanna", I have not been updating things much at all.

However, whenever I review my old posts (I was just going through my write.as archive this past weekend), I realise it was actually good for me to leave some sort of footprint of what has been going on in my brain and in my life.

Of course, I could just grab pen and paper and do that offline, then it doesn't matter who cares or doesn't care. But being online has been such a big chunk of my life growing up, it's kind of part of my identity in a way.

I hope this week treats you well!

The sense of heartfelt posts attaining unto lead balloon status remains too much for me, so I've entered a phase that pairs "blog only into a local file" with "reply/respond, but don't initiate".

Incidentally, the local file-system blog is going damned well: 13 entries in just three days. Hot doggety dog!

It too shall pass, along with countless 3x5 cards, notebooks, loose-leaf pages, files, blog attempts, websites, etc. Words seem enticing, briefly bright shiny objects "out" the highly reflective windows of a perpetual train ride to Ennui.

All aboard! <whistle> <steam> <the lurch of brakes unlocking>

:) good to see ya here, Midnight always has "regulars" and "waywards" (is a term I'll use), and I've been both. Opening the door on a stormy night having not said anything in a year is both Cheers-level welcome and also refreshing.

Stick around. I'm exploring more of Nightfall City, as well
