I would like to apologize for going missing for a while.
A lot of things happened personally, and for some time, I found myself completely consumed by matters that I needed to deal with. It took me a while to get through them. There was a period where I honestly don't know how else to describe it other than feeling empty. I had very little motivation for anything, including writing.
Then, just as I was finally starting to feel like I could come back, another problem hit.
A calamity struck our province. The monsoon brought weeks of almost endless, heavy rain, eventually ravaging our town with severe flooding. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to save my PC from the flood either.
After that, it took me some time before I could finally afford to get a new one.
So yeah... it's been quite a while.
I'm not going to pretend that everything suddenly became perfect, but I think I'm finally in a place where I can start moving forward again.
And with that, I guess I'm back.
Thank you to everyone who waited, checked in, or continued to support my work even while I was gone. I genuinely appreciate it more than I can say.
