Hi there everyone, (writing this on my phone so apologies for any autocorrect errors)

So I said I'd be back in a week... About three weeks ago! ^^; Yeah, I guess I needed longer than I thought I did. While things aren't exactly perfect (being unemployed at this time of year is never a good thing) I am feeling a lot better in myself than I was when I wrote my last journal.

I'm the kind of person who usually prefers to withdraw and deal with my problems alone. Mostly because I don't want to burden others with my problems, especially when most of us are having a pretty crappy time this year as it is, me being a mopey misrry-guts around them is the last thing they need!

That being said, it was thanks to those of you reaching out and checking on me that helped me realize that isolating myself was just making me feel lonely and as a result making me feel even worse. I want to thank you all for the support and sorry to those I haven't gotten round to responding to yet, I will be going on a bit of a reply spree later. You're all amazing and I wish I could hug you all! :3

And so I'm back and shall resume where I left off, I have a story that is basically finished ( and that I should have posted about a month ago, but then all this happened and it kind of fell by the wayside >.<) so I'll get to editing that right away and upload it as soon as I can.

Regarding Halloween, I had wanted to write a fun Halloween story or a follow-up to last year's Halloween story for you all but given that the day itself is only a few days away and I haven't even planned it with everything going on, I'm afraid it's unlikely there will be anything for the occasion this year.. I'll think up something horror themed yet my usual brand of macrophilic goodness to make up for it though. Open to suggestions! ^.~

What else have I been up tooo?.. Well I have taken up tie-dyeing as a hobby as well and I'm not too bad at it. I know it's a little out of season now, being almost winter and all but I may be uploading photos of my projects to my scraps folder in future :3

And that's about it for updates I guess ^^ Thank you all again for being patient with me and for the support following my last journal. Sorry if I worried anyone with my disappearance. Much love to you all :3 ❤️

Jay~
