Hey Y'all!
I just wanted to give an official update on where I've been and where I'm going.
So *clap*
Last semester, I was super busy balancing school, work, sports, and my relationships. Along with wanting to serve my church but not knowing how I could with my anxiety disorder. I tried auditioning for a performing group that would only last a few months but that didn't take off. And it was by the end of the semester where I figured out what capacity I could go and serve.
Near the beginning of this semester, I got really overwhelmed one day with life, and that's why most of my works were archived. I just didn't want to have to think about those when I was having such a hard time. I didn't know when I'd be able to update and I just didn't want to focus on it for a bit.
Now!
I'm not so overwhelmed with life, but! Starting June 16th I'm going to be serving my church for a year as a service missionary. I don't know what I'll be doing yet but I get to go home and serve those in my community in so many different ways. I'll be serving for a year and won't have social media access. I really want to take this year and focus on being able to love and serve others. Which also means I won't have access to the archive. So I won't be reading or writing anything.
I am so so so excited about this opportunity and not anxious at all which is crazy! I want to devote as much of myself to this year as I can. I am so excited for this new chapter but also pretty scared and sad to leave behind all the good things I have right now while I'm away at school. But I know I will be a better person for this time that I'm going to go spend focusing on others.
I just wanted to update y'all as to why I won't be updating anything for the next year+ and why I bookmarked so many works. I re-published all of the archived works and they're available to read again. I really want to come back and finish HIPS. If by some weird crazy miracle I get an update out before I officially start (I have a month and a half in-between going home and starting) that would be a fun little treat, but otherwise, when I finish my mission I want to finish this story! Not even my boyfriend knows the ending!
Thank y'all for reading, now and in the past!
And I will see y'all soon!
