i wanted to come on and give a lil' update for all of those who may still be longing for little 'ole me. this blog has been inactive since 2021, and my latest post was on June 4, 2025... so what's happened within the last year?

well...

still working full time in higher education

have officially started graduate studies to get my teaching certificate

started writing fiction again

my blog is still going strong

part of me is sad that i never update or write for this blog anymore. a large part of my teenage years and where my love of writing really began are here. another part of me is happy to see that my objectively bad writing is still getting love. as of now, i do not plan to post any fiction writing to the public. right now, i'm just enjoying the craft. i'm also enjoying creating characters and falling in love with them rather than writing for real life people.

i am debating on using Tumblr to promote some of my blog writings like i do Pinterest, but i'm unsure right now. i don't want to delete it because as i said, a part of me lives on in here, but i don't know if there is anything Tumblr can really give me... i am considering writing a little bit of the previous requests in my ask box for funsies, but idk.

anyway, my blog. it's still movie and book reviews, but i've also been sharing more of my own thoughts there. i don't use social media so that's another reason i'm unsure about using Tumblr. but if you are interested, check me out! you can subscribe, read about an average week with me, or find out what i recommend you to read this summer!

anyway, thank you to all who still follow this blog, liking and reposting the writing, and supporting a girl who just wanted to fit in. this was a space i used to express myself creatively and it gave me meaning during some of the darkest points during my formative years. i appreciate all of you and look back on this blog with immense fondness.

i wanted to give everyone an update, if anyone still cares lol!

this blog has been inactive since 2021, i believe. 4 long years! wow!

during those four years i have:

1. graduated college w/ a BA

2. met my boyfriend & adopted a cat (we now live together)

3. moved (a lot)

4. started working full time

although i no longer write for this blog, i find joy in seeing my (objectively bad) writing still getting love. i thank you all for that. i have stopped writing fan fiction, but have gotten back into writing as a whole, which i'm finding enjoyment in! i do not plan to make any writings public as i like keeping it to myself right now!

as of now, this blog will remain inactive. i have found myself falling into pits of depression and anxiety when i'm on social media for long periods of time; tumblr would just amplify it. additionally, im not longer interested in writing reader inserts or writing for real life people. i might inactivate this blog as it doesn't serve me anymore, but as of now it'll stay around.

however, i do have a blog, where i review movies, tv shows, and books! who knew i was an avid reader? not me! i have been enjoying this and am hoping to start other socials in the upcoming year for the blog. you can find me on livingwithb.com. i just released a review for an ARC i received!

anyway, thank you for the love all of my writing got and still gets and thank you for giving me a space to creatively express myself during some of my most formative years! i appreciate you and look back on this experience with fondness!

i graduated from university and like a fool, i thought i would have time for writing but goodness, i have had 0 time for anything. i'm still looking for a full time job, and working as much as i can, but i've been writing every now and again when inspiration strike. i haven't finished anything, but i've been writing and that feels good! if i start writing for this blog again, im going to focus on peter. i feel odd writing for tom since he is in a very committed relationship (yay for him!) and i don't feel like i'd do him justice!

i also have been journaling and reading a lot, and have been loving that. i try and read every night and journal every week. i also have been watching a lot of new tv series and movies. tv show wise i'm watching the boys, daredevil, and yellowstone. i also watched inglorious bastards!! amazing!!

i also started dating someone and we've been together for close to a year now. we're living together and i've been having a very good time with him! i've been in the best mental state of my life since moving out of my old place and creating a routine.

so overall, i've been well! i'm happy! i'm thriving and i'm finding my passions again!

i am ok. i'm getting my hair done today. i'm in a very happy relationship. i'm not burnt out. i'm singing really great pieces this semester.
