Depression lies

I've wanted to write about it for a long time, but the words just won't come. Hence, a link.

Art helps. Family drama makes it worse. Watching a community you used to participate in, like someone in the nosebleed seats, well... It actually helps, to know that the story goes on. I miss you all.

Let's hope the New Year holds great things.

No worries, babe. Probably for the best, actually. A phone call from a sympathetic ear would probably end up with me bawling at you for hours, and neither one of us needs that right now. The family situation is total shit storm. Situation Normal: All Fucked Up. But I have extracted myself from the worst of it, and in typical "good daughter" fashion, this has been the major source of my stress. But I have a good support structure here. So we muddle through.

I miss you guys, too. I miss being able to focus long enough to sit down and thread. I miss writing, possibly most of all. But the art is taking off, so I can point to that and say I'm not a complete waste of oxygen.

I will keep focusing on the positive, regardless, and will be back as soon as I can muster the energy.
