Hmm.

I keep trying to come up with comparisons or metaphors for what it's like when, after months of just existing, you actually begin to start living again, but there aren't any that fit or that even come close. I'm not out of the tunnel, but ahead of me there's a brightening, something pale in the dark that might be a light

I'm glad to see you back - I noticed you weren't here and I hoped you were doing well. Sometimes life just has those patches of bare bones survival that doesn't leave much room for anything else. I feel you. ♡

Looking forward to seeing what you write. *hugs*

♥ It does, indeed. For me, much as I love autumn and winter, October to January is often the hardest time of the year for a number of reasons. I just do what I can to get through it and try to trust that it'll pass like it always does. (Hard to do. Very hard to do.)

Mm, writing. The mental radio is most definitely on again, but right now I'm in a stage of idea-idea-idea-ohwaitthisisshiny-heywaitthere'sthisididn'tfinish-oohnewplotbunny-ideaideaidea. rofl. At some point I'll settle on something to dig into.

*hugs* It is very good to see you popping up again :)

♥ Thank you! Hoping I can stick around and stay out of the schlump.

Welcome back. I think you're in the melting - the season between winter and true spring. It's a season of extreme beauty and great fragility. I'm just happy to see your name on my f-list once again :-)

Send up a tendril and see what it does...

Thank you. ♥ That's just sort of where my brain is right now - the weather, well, around here we won't see spring for another couple of months, but in my head, I'm definitely starting to come out of a cold & dark time. Like you said, though, it's fragile. Trying to take care of myself as best I can to keep going forward.

Glad to see you back! Hope everything is going well for you! :)

Hope everything's decent on your end, too. (How's that little demon dog of yours? Ha.)
