The time has come again and this time around I've turned 24 years old. Crazy to think that I'm actually in my mid-20's now. I've been looking back on some of the first things I've posted here, getting a feeling of both nostalgia and newfound inspiration. It feels like they've been posted ages ago and yet also yesterday. So many I vividly remember typing out, editing, and waiting with bated breath to see how everyone would react. Those short, simple stories I used to write seem so unsatisfying now, but in a good way. Now I have so much more to say, to describe, to make these characters really pop and play off of each other. And a ton of ideas that are stored away in a cabinet right next to me!

Anyways... What stated out as a simple hobby has become a legitimate way to help my family and for that I cannot thank any of you enough! I never get tired or writing for myself and for all of you so don't expect me to be going anywhere! So here's to another one!
