hello everyone, i’m officially back up and running!
these last couple months i’ve been inactive due to private familial affairs that i don’t have the vigour to openly chatter or discuss about. because of these issues, i unfortunately spiralled into a deep depression and started repeating damaging and self-destructive vices i’m very disconsolate and ashamed about. i’m so very grateful for all the love and support i’ve received by the time i got back and i thank each and everyone…
