I know I've been rather MIA on here this past month, but June has been a rough one. These last few weeks have been nothing but increased chronic pain levels and a persistent flare up of symptoms that have left me with what feels like absolutely nothing to give and just barely picking myself up and getting through the day, just to wake up and do it all over again the next day.
I haven't been able to write. I was spoiled by a few chances in the very early days of the month, but it has since been impossible to do what I yearn and miss doing. Its impacted my presence here and I miss all of you dearly, checking in when I can and reading and messaging when I'm able.
Seeing the bikeriders in theaters this past week was the highlight of my month, to say the very least, but even so, those small outings come with their own repercussions that I feel in every physical aspect. It isn't an easy feat for someone who has all of the chronic challenges as I do, something seemingly simple for others, but coming with a multitude of difficulties for me. But it was a bright spot in the darkness and I hold tightly to that.
I want to say thank you for continuing to be such a support system here for me. Your continued love, encouragement, kindness and reading of my works is such an uplifting thing for me that I appreciate more than you know. Thank you for having patience, understanding and empathy. For lifting my spirits, making me smile and making me feel loved.
I miss you all. I miss my writing. But I am so thankful for each and every one of you and I am continuing to hold onto hope for better days ahead. ❤
