So, I know I haven't been very active here on FA. It's my fault for not being active enough on the site but I just haven't found the time to let the creative thinking flow. By the time I get done with classes every day, I'm either so emotionally drained or physically tired, I just don't have the energy left to fund any kind of creative process. Couple that with out-of-class work and a half-successful attempt at maintaining a healthy social life and I don't have much time for anything else. I'm not sure exactly what I want to say here or how I want to say it but here goes nothing.
1. I am unhappy in my major. I began university last year in August as a budding chemistry major. I loved chemistry in high school. LOVED IT. It was fun, exciting, and a release from the monotony that was the rest of my high school schedule. As it turns out, high school chemistry was an exciting, action-packed, jump-cut-filled, summer-block-buster trailer. Chem I and II have been a documentary that manages to be both boring and terrifying. Not once in high school did I ever feel emotionally unstable from just sitting down in a classroom. That's been Chem II for the last few weeks. It's infuriating and amazing that somebody that was inducted into their high school's Hall of Fame for academic excellence and social grace as voted by both faculty and peers could be so utterly destroyed by a freshman course. I'm considering changing my major to something in the Computer Science/Networking and Telecommunications. From my research, it seems to be a constantly growing field in which to build a stable and worthwhile career.
2. I have been ill the last few days. I came down suddenly with a violent case of the flu. I am currently taking around 7 different medications. A steroid to help my breathing, an antibiotic to kill the flu, an antibiotic to kill strep(high possibility of having both), my usual med for nervousness, a pill to reduce nasal congestion, a painkiller for my throat, and some medicine to repress fever(the fever's been gone but my doctor ordered me to complete the dosage). Thanks to being low on energy emotionally from classes, physically from being sick, and mentally from being on more drugs than your average Hollywood celebrity, I nearly broke down into tears at the introduction of a concept today in class that I didn't understand. My apologies if this post seems overly-dramatic. The above is probably the reason for that.
I hope you guys can forgive me for dropping off the face of the planet. I'll have another story or a poem up before too long. I want to thank
for helping me through these times by being a good friend and excellent source of advice for a story I've been working on.
I don't know why you come to this website. To some, FA is a porn site. To other's it's a social site. To some it's an outlet, others, inspiration. For some it's a combination of some or all of these. This website, even though I haven't posted anything for a while, has been an escape from everyday life.
I hope you guys are doing well. I'll talk to you guys again soon.

I get that life punches you in the face some times. just don't let it keep you on the ground. Even if you never posted again, I'd still hope you can find your footing.
