Goodbye… kinda
Hey everyone, it’s been a while. A month, to be specific. March was terrible for me. I didn’t read anything for two weeks, which hasn’t happened in like a decade. I was also spiralling, emotionally. April is going much better, but I’ve been thinking about the blog. It’s something I started for fun several years…
