Hello wonderful people!
Wow, it’s been a while! Sorry I’ve been gone for so long— life went absolutely crazy at the end of November and I got totally swamped. Regrettably, that meant that his site got neglected for a little while as I was clawing my weight out from under the mountain of responsibilities that life decided to drop on me all at once.
It was a lot of fun! And wow was it exhausting! I needed Christmas break so badly. I got a lot of rest, reconnected with friends and family, and got to talk with some old friends. I also engaged with some old hobbies I hadn’t engaged with in quite some time and had a lot of fun just letting myself have fun for once.
Now that I’m back in school, I’ve taken some more steps to avoid feeling so swamped again. One of my goals for this year is to take more time to have fun— my natural tendencies lead to me neglecting things I enjoy and focusing on too many needful things at once, which means that I very rarely have much recharge time and tend to be much more high strung than I really need to be (or should be to function at the level my life demands). So I’m taking a step back to make sure I have time to charge my own battery as well as time to use that charge to help others and myself.
I have also missed working on this project. Though writing isn’t always inherently relaxing— it does take some work for me to get going— it is so fun when I get started and it can be very therapeutic. But, I am going to set some more realistic expectations for myself this time! I don’t want to make commitments I can’t keep, and I’m going to aim to have some new thing on here every other week, whether that be a blog post or a short story or just a cool thing I made in some other way. I’m glad to still be able to maintain this site!
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and has had a great start to their New Year thus far! It’s always a pleasure to share my adventures with you. Here’s to a great year to come!
Best Wishes,
Ezra
