Hey Aimee, I can't help but notice it's been a while since your last update and I wanted to check in and make sure you're alright since you were having a bit of a tough time. Hope you're doing well and sending much love 💓💓

thank you so much for checking in. you have no idea how much it means to me. the fact you noticed and remembered is so sweet, so i hope you can feel just how much you brightened my evening :) i hope you’re having a wonderful day/night, wherever you are 🤍
i’ll also take this as a chance to apologise for the radio silence these past few months. i was fully expecting to get back into the swing of things after graduation, but things just took a massive nosedive for me that i haven’t yet bounced back from.
everything just seemed to hit me at once. hearing about uni friends beginning their careers or travelling or otherwise just doing something while i’m still unemployed after a year really knocked me mentally. i’ve never been able to get a handle on my ed, even after all these years, and times of stress or depression naturally don’t help, so that added to the metaphorical battering ram too—alongside my ocd really kicking it up a notch for a semblance of control. to anyone currently battling the uk job market: chin up, soldier. anyways, needless to say, it really did a number.
so, trying to find any job and giving my head a wobble has been my priority. things aren’t really any better, but hopefully there’s a job on the horizon (thanks, father dearest).
if there’s anyone still interested, as soon as things start looking up, you best believe my lust for fics will return with a vengeance. it’s been so long that i wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve all fallen off the wagon, but hopefully some long lists will tempt you back! (come back, my pretties) in the meantime, feel free to check out my tbr side blog if you want: @ailodaforlater . any fic i’m inclined to read ends up there.
thanks to anyone and everyone who’s been sending me love (including you, dear anon 🫶) and waiting. while I’m not necessarily active, i do pop in (not really that difficult when the app’s on your phone), and i see all the messages and asks and reblogs. i will return soon—just please forgive my unstable mental health 😂
sending all the love and hugs and cuddles to you, anon ❤️
