oh sweetheart, thank you <3. you're so kind and supportive and I really, genuinely appreciate that so much.

I love that people enjoy my work and are anxious for more of it, it's just that lately I've gotten a few messages asking when I would be updating and the truth is that I just don't know, which makes me feel bad. but I need to be healthy and in a good headspace before I can write =(

I stumbled across your journal and saw this. We don't know each other, but I've been in some fairly dark places, and I just wanted to send support. Things really can improve an amazing amount. It's worth wading through this and fighting to get past it, to get to have other, possibly really wonderful, experiences down the road.

A number of years ago, lonely and really needing someone to talk to, I ended up calling someone whose website I liked -- basically a stranger -- and sitting on the phone with her for a while. So let's say I owe the universe one. I'm not the right resource for emergencies and I'm sometimes away, but if you'd just like to talk at some point with someone outside your life, leave me a comment to let me know.

Also (hopefully not necessary and presumably something you already know about, but just in case) the number for the national suicide prevention lifeline is 1-800-273-8255.
