RAHHHH, we are so back. In all of its red glory. Thank you to bulltown for making me a button! I've attached it to the websites (current main) page. Also, I found something interesting... planted it in my links...

I really love the concept of your 'eavesdrop' page, a very enjoyable read!! I loved the first one especially, and the last line. I worry I'm misinterpreting it, but it certainly feels profound.

Agh, that means so so much to me <3<3 thank you for telling me that

Hello, lovely phi1l1y :) I took a short look at your site, of what my energy permitted.I looked at your about again, your new art, and your last journal entry. I hope it's not odd to say that I appreciate how you talk about death so candidly. I'm not sure if you still feel the same as you did then, but reading it, I feel I am in good company. Your writing is such a treat. I hope to return here when I have the energy.

I can't thank you enough for the tender words swiftred, genuinely. And that compliment is not weird at all; if anything, it's one of the best I could receive. I hand-wring often over being too open whilst simultaneously not knowing what it takes to be 'too' . Please, only ever visit if you desire to . Like you, you hold your own nook in my heart and mind anyway : ) Forever may you be well!

New blog post up as well as a poem-like-thing. Got fanfiction on the mind, but I'm touching on the act of creating, disability, and the fear of my own mortality. Excited about this one just by virtue of sharing my thoughts, feelings, and passion. I hope everyone is doing well, as always :)

Hello, lovely people. I was reminded of the website I left behind for some time, and I found I missed it. Sometimes I struggle being "perceived" on the internet via my work (writing, art, etc.) that happens to be so personal, despite wanting connection. I was reading through my old blog posts– the distance and perspective helps– and I still really connect with them and want them to be seen.

I'm driven by the whims of my raging ADHD so I can't promise a blog post is coming soon, but I find myself thinking up a chaotic script of vaguely connected thoughts. My blog post on discarding things is especially apt right now, being driven by intense hyperfocuses (this website was one big hyperfocus), and I may just expound on that.

So, in simple words, my blog page is back up! I'll have to parse through the rest of the site and decide what I want to re-release.

I'm also overwhelmed and gracious looking back at the interactions I've had with everyone here. So many beautiful, kind, and expressive souls. I'm very hard on myself, but I do feel a sadness when I abandon (even if only temporary) beautiful, creative pursuits such as this.

swiftred, you're one of the sites I occasionally check on while I struggle along with re-working my own pages. Your words and forms of expression have always stuck with me, and I even saved the snippet of text you wrote about my site... months? A year? ago because it helped remind me that maybe what I do means something. I really hope you can feel the same about this site , regardless of what happens. With much love.

Oh, @phi1l1y, I cannot express to you in words how much what you've said means to me, but I still want to try. I don't quite remember our first interaction, but I remember how it made me feel. I've only felt warmth when interacting with you. Thank you for all the heartfelt things you've ever said to me.

@phi1l1y And thank you for telling me that you visit. If I can venture to overshare, I often feel invisible, so there being a sign, however small, that I exist in someone else's mind free from my influence? That's everything to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You hold a special place in my heart

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… 😎

Hey, thanks! I'm only just seeing the button, I'm very grateful! Depending on when I get around to it, I plan to credit you and link it to my front page so others can use it as well

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

@bearlythere Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredibly kind comment, and for what you said about my writing too. It feels great that it might be of value to others, or even just elicit emotion.

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.
