You’re welcome and thank you. I’m looking forward to seeing how you bring your site back to life (so to speak). Just read your post about suicide - those with similar feelings are sure to benefit from it… 😎

Hello, lovely people. My life took a big turn 4 months ago and I was also on the tail end of burnout with the site. After some distance from here and the dust settling in my life, I look back at the site I basically took down with such fondness. I've attached a past blog post to my links/websites page. I'm quite proud of it. It gives some practical suggestions on how to cope with suicidal ideation...

...fitting for September being Suicide Prevention Month. I'm not sure where to take the site next. I remain loving the current layout, but wanting something fresh to play with. I also struggle to negotiate what information I feel comfortable putting online. I value authenticity and vulnerability, but on the internet safety must be considered.

My life circumstances have improved and I find myself, while at my core the same person, unrecognizable in some regards. My mind is clearer and I feel less turmoil. It'd be neat to pour some creativity into the site, but I lack confidence I won't lose focus again. We'll see with time, I suppose. Hope everyone is well.

I'm happy to hear your situation has improved. It's nice to see the suicide prevention page back up, too. Your writing has always felt very compassionate to me. I hope to see more from you soon. Even if you lose focus again, you've already seen that it's not stopping you from still moving forward. You can always come back when you feel ready again. Wishing you the best <3

Ah, thank you kindly. It means so much, bearlythere. I've had zero motivation the past few months but I think it's come back to some degree. Oh how things change! I glanced at your site and it's incredibly gorgeous. I need to carve out some time to sit and look around.

How is everyone? :) I've been in such a daze lately, and the website has been the last thing on my mind unfortunately.

I miss being on here interacting with everyone. My life blew up last week, things have been crazy, and I've had to make a few radical changes. I feel estranged from my website, like it somehow doesn't represent me anymore, although I'm proud of it. I've been wanting to make a new layout since January but have had no motivation/creativity/energy. Lol I suppose it can wait. Hope everyone is well.

Anyone else feel like they're constantly reinventing themselves? That's what I feel like right now. Change and grief and whatnot

I'm actually planning a redesign of my site as well. I feel sad like it's been a waste of time even though I've learned so much from it.

hope you're well too, and i'm really feeling that recently. when you're done changing things to fit your vision you're already a different person and have to do it all over again 😡! at least there's no time limit to the things we do for ourselves

I definitely get that- I've been making subsites to scratch the urge to represent myself differently online, and that's helped a lot. I hope life settles for you soon.

A friend of mine told me that I'm a different person every time she sees me, even if it's only a few days apart. When she said this I felt recognized. Identity is not a cage & it is not stagnant. Like an ocean its nature is to change constantly: Waves come & they grow & they capsize & it is still the same ocean. Be good to yourself.

I've been thinking about you and hoping you were well, even if I have been feeling much the same this last month or so in regards to my site. I think grief is inherent to humans; it's been a thing since we were no longer animal and drew cave portraits of ourselves with manes and snouts.. but maybe I'm being overly personal . I hope you're doing well and if you aren't, I hope you will be very soon

Thank you all for taking the time to comment and for the kind words <3 I feel less alone and I'm always so grateful to interact with everyone. I'm at a loss for words and not feeling my best, but I hope you all feel my love

I added my March reflection to my tarot page. In my resources page, I linked Owl's Roost's really neat "Emergency Freakout Guide." I found it very helpful. And I fixed these pages so they correctly link to my traditional art and zines page.
