A Shiny New Purpose
It's been two years since I regularishly updated this blog. Two whole years. Two years to finally decide what I'm going to do with this blog. You may not have noticed, but I haven't really had any direction here; no clue what I'm supposed to do. But now I have a plan, a direction, a purpose. I'm so excited about said purpose that I don't really feel like regaling you with what has been happening with me for the last two years. Just know that Stuff Happened and I came out the other end still alive. The dark details I'll give you are: my grandfather passed away in 2016, and my father died earlier this year. And the bright spots: my great-nephew was born in 2015, and my great-niece was born back in January of this year. Mental health has been a recurring theme in my life. Depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies run deep in my family. I have spent the majority of my life trying to make sense of it all because I've been depressed since I was twelve.
