Hello dearest readers,

I don't know if anyone is out there that cares or if anyone reads this literal garbage. But if there is, I don't have fantastic news. It's come to my attention, in such a way that I can no longer ignore, that I am being abused and I have been abused for a long, long time.

I don't exactly know who to talk to about it, but my university has a domestic abuse victim's sanctuary and help program. I'll be talking to them when the winter break is over. My writing may reflect the turmoil I'm feeling or it may reflect the hope I wish I could feel. Or maybe writing will come to a standstill if I end up in a rehab hospital. This is an update on my life, and I know it's really selfish to assume anyone else would be interested, but I know there's at least a few readers looking forward to updates, whom this crisis may concern.

I'm well aware of what's happening to me. I'm just... unwilling to reconcile with it or accept it and I will admit that I need help. This isn't a goodbye. This is a heads up.

Best Wishes,
