I don't really know what to say these days, which is largely why I'm not as active outside of Notes as I used to be. Not much has changed since my last journal. I've lost more friends since then, one of whom had a big part of my life for the better part of fifteen years. I have to be perfectly honest with you, readers, I want to give up. Between that, other matters that're going on behind the scenes in the real-real, and the continued decline of my physical health, it just doesn't seem worth it most days.
But I will continue to carry on as I have been, even if the pain becomes insurmountable. I still have friends and family who would be devastated if I were to, shall we say, "do something stupid." (Not to mention I've got several commissions still pending, and I'd very much like to be able to pay off the artists I'm presently working with. It'd be rude to leave 'em shortchanged, you know?)
In any case, as always I hope that you, whoever you are, are doing well for yourself and will continue to do well for yourself.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Until next time.
