Hey, guys! Boy, it sure has been a while, hope y’all are well!

Some of you probably noticed that I suddenly dropped off the radar for over two months. Well, a lot of stuff has happened, none of them good. I feel like I ought to explain what happened since September, that’s caused me to go on hiatus, so here it goes…

Basically…my dad passed away over a month ago, mid-September. He’d been sick for years, and during the last six his condition only got worse until…he finally succumbed. None of us saw it coming, I mean the day started out so normal, you know? That horrible night still haunts me, and it’s still not easy to talk about. (I don’t know if it ever will be tbh)

Well, since then, my family and I have returned to my hometown to lay my dad to rest, take care of his affairs, and all his things and such. Looking at how much we have to sort out, it seems like there’s no end in sight.

As if that wasn’t enough, a month after my dad died, his cousin, and childhood friend passed away from cancer. I loved her dearly, I remember we used to visit her all the time, when we were kids, and she even used to tutor my sisters.

Now two family members that I love dearly are gone, and all I can say is that this is officially the worst year of my life. My dad’s family is helping out as much as they can, but it likely will not last long, and they can only do so much. For now we’re hanging in there, and figuring out where to go from here.

So yea, that’s the situation, fun times all around (only not at all). The past two months have been a whirlwind of sadness and depression, but I guess the only kind of good thing is I’ve been crying less and less with each day. I’m just so tired of feeling sad, it makes me feel like I shouldn’t even bother getting out of bed.

As for the hiatus, I’m not sure if it’s truly over, since the only laptop I have limited access to is my sister’s and she’s not the sharing type. I can basically only use it when she’s out of the house, or asleep.

In other news, money is kind of tight so I’m going start offering traditional commissions. The journal for it should go up later today, so keep an eye out!

Thank you all for reading!
