Not dead, but not back either.

So as you might notice, I've taken my profile down temporarily. I hope this journal will explain why.
It's been a long time since I've been able to spend any time interacting with people here on FA. I've peeked in regularly, lurking, but not done anything but look. I'm at a very turbulent time in my life, caught up in the maelstrom between college graduation and a stable living. I'm no longer quite who I was when I was more active here, hence why I've taken down the profile I wrote and evolved during that time. When things finally settle down for me, I have every intention to return and re-introduce myself, in a way.
I WILL NOT be taking down my gallery at any point. I'm not leaving FA, I'm just setting it aside for now. I'm tired of my attempts to jump back into things that always peter off into inactivity again. I plan on coming back, and staying. But I can't do that yet.
I don't know how long it will take. But know that I care dearly for all the friends I've made here, and I desperately hope they will still be my friends when I finally can come back. I am sorry for all the waiting I've put everyone through, and I understand if things need to change because of this.
This isn't to say that I'll be sealing myself out. I'll still be around, lurking, watching, just not *doing* anything here (Like I already have been, but now you know why). So, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. If not, wish me luck in finding my place in the world.

With that in mind, I'm not going to say that I hope it ends quickly. In fact, I hope it keeps on until you get from it what you need, but not a moment more. You'll probably know when that is, but you'll be strong until then, just like I am. It's an important period of time, even though going through it feels like a one-way tour into Hell at times.
Maybe take a meditative leave of life for a while, even if it's just for an hour a week. Look at the beauty of nature or do something selfless even if it's at your own momentary expense. It's easy to get caught up trying to improve your own immediate mood, but taking a step back goes a long way in making it through.
Good luck, I'll be here when you're back, however long it takes. I directly relate, and I hope we discover what we need to discover through these adventures.
Not the silly kind, the cute kind, or the ordinary motivational kind. The silly kind provide only a moment of laughter, and get old quick. The cute kind allow me to appreciate something precious for a short time, but they're all the same in the end. The standard motivational videos are overused in speech anyway, hearing things that you've already heard and seem to be spoken by someone who doesn't understand.
I will suggest motivational videos, but not of the standard variety. These ones are down to earth, and just ambiguous enough to get across what he's saying without using too many overused phrases. He goes by Zefrank, and he's a little of all three. Silly, cute, and motivational. This should be the first one you watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knro0i2JH44
You know I'll always be here and be your friend, no matter how long or what may happen in the meantime.
I'm glad you will be keeping your gallery. It's important to both you and I as apart of our past lives together and I treasure every minute and every picture.
Keep your chin up and fight , baby, fight for everything to go the way you want and need it to!!
I'll be so happy when the day comes that you can return and stay permanently or at least for a good long time and maybe we can even have some fun together again.
Till then......... ~Rabbitfangs
