#from light-mun

I’ve been wanting to return for a while, but with how crazy life has been and realising a lot of the relationships and connections I had made are probably gone now, there hasn’t been much time or motivation. The idea of owing people replies, continuing threads and maintaining my muse, when I wouldn’t be able to guarantee the time needed to honour those commitments, just became too stressful. 

Up until March I was working 50-60 hour weeks managing a business, all while trying to build my own and prioritise other hobbies and life commitments that were a higher priority that writing, playing video games and video editing. But now that my business is finally underway with no other distractions and I have a definitive schedule and a guide to build off, I’ve been wanting to get back into my old hobbies and interests--one of them being this. 

The stress of replies and knowing a lot of my friends have probably moved on is still weighing on me, which is why I’m thinking of turning this blog from semi-private to private, and for now and into the foreseeable future, perhaps only doing prompts, inbox replies, drabbles and whatnot. That way, I can still write and allow my muse freedom without the stress of replies. It’ll be easier and it’ll help rekindle old relationships with anyone who is still present and build new ones; not just for me, but for Lightning as well. It’ll also make me more comfortable if I ever disappear again without actively announcing a hiatus, whether I have a specific time period in mind or not. I’m not sure if I’ll ever return to doing full threads, so no promises. I hope I can.<
