So look, generally when I do not write for a couple of weeks, there are issues. And then I come back and share those issues, and I am miserable.
So here is the thing, this time is not the case. In fact, I am better than ever. My anxiety, while still there, has not consumed my life. My weight loss is going well. Slow and steady which I am not used to, but I feel better each day. Selling sports cards has been booming and I have the best partner in the world helping me.
I have not really gotten involved with commenting on politics. I realized that doing so online does no good. This does not count as online lol, I mean Twitter. I truly have just been busy.
And I am genuinely sorry for not writing more.
And I will. I miss topics that are pointless on social media sites. I miss sharing to a smaller audience the good and bad of my everyday. I miss making art. I do not miss asking people daily to buy.
But I am in a good place. A very good place. A place I never expected to be. Eight years ago I made a decision that changed my life. Five years ago, that decision almost ruined my life. For the past 4 1/2 years, I have struggled. Six months ago, everything came together. And I want to share more.
So just know I’m here. Not truly sure how I will proceed here. I do know I have gained confidence and self worth that was taken away from me, so that will come into play. And I thank you for being here, all subscribers, especially those who value my words and became a paid subscriber. Means the world, and I assure you, it will be worth it.
My birthday is next Sunday. I will share a lot more until then.
In the meantime, I do apologize for not being here as much. But know I am happier than I have been in years.
No need to apologize, sometimes life gets lifey! My daughter started graduate school in Colorado, we live in NH. When she first went out there we would hear from her a lot. She was anxious and missed us (and her cat Louie) a lot. Then classes started and she made some friends. We spoke less because things were ok in classes and with her friends. As I say to anyone who asks about her? “No news is good news! If she’s happy, she doesn’t need us as much. And that’s a good thing!”
Missed hearing from you but so happy things are going well for you! I’m off of
X/Twitter and moved to Threads so I have not been able to see your postings on the old site. Look forward to your future posts on Substack!! Happy Early Birthday!!
