Hi lovelies!
It’s been quite a while!
I figured I should come on here and let yall know where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. Long story short is that I haven’t been working on Memento Mori and the reason why is because I’ve been really happy lately.
Writing has always been my escape. Through my very dark depression, writing has been the way I can sort through my emotions and organize it into something beautifully vulnerable instead of overwhelming. Last year, I was at a low point where the characters I was writing was a reflection of my mental state.
I’m glad to say I’m in a different place now. I start medical school in a few months, I’m in love and loved by one of the best people I’ve ever met, my family is closer than ever, and I feel like my life is coming together in a way I could only dream of one year ago.
It’s hard for me to put myself back into the mental state needed to write a story like Memento Mori. I still love to write and do so all the time! But that story’s deep angst, that never ending turmoil (for now), it’s not a story I can immerse myself in because I wrote it with my own trauma and emotion in mind. The inner thoughts of MC reflected the ones I wouldn’t dare to say aloud.
Trying not to ramble so I’ll just say that maybe in the future I’ll write a different kind of story, one that ebbs and flows between angst and joy. For now though, I’m so happy to be living the life I do. I wake up now with a smile on my face despite what I’ve been through, I’m not escaping anymore.
I wanted to thank you all for your support as I shared parts of my story with you. I’ll try to be more active on here in general as I read all of your amazing stories!! I have a lot to catch up on!!
