Hey, everyone. Long time no see.
I don't know if anyone remembers this blog. To be quite honest, I nearly forgot about it myself. But I've just now read the better half of All The Young Dudes, and to say that I'm back in the trenches would probably be an understatement. Almost a decade has passed since the creation of this blog and I figured I'd write something – this. A lot has changed since the creation of this blog. I'm no longer a fourteen year old, struggling in school and with no friends. I'm coming up on 24 now, a bachelor's degree almost under my belt (soon...), even teaching my own class at university. And I still struggle, of course, but it's so much more comfortable to struggle with friends. I still write and draw. In theory, at least. No HP in a long time, though that is probably about to change (my iPad is charging as I write this). It honestly has been a little while since I've written anything but academic papers in a while, but I recently remembered how good it had been for me back in the day. I recently sifted through and read all of the unanswered asks and messages some of you guys have left me shortly before or during my absence, and if any of you are reading this, thank you so much for your kind words. Thank you for anyone who has read my little fanfictions back then and thank you for all of your encouragements and kind words. (Though I'm not so sure about how truthful some of them could really be – I was only fourteen and I honestly haven't been brave enough yet to read any of my writing from back then. Can't be good.) I remember being met with absolutely nothing but kindness whenever I posted. You all made a lost, awkward fourteen year old feel less alone. Thank you. :) I'm looking forward to posting a bit again here as a 24 year old. I might just finish All the Young Dudes first. Can't risk seeing any spoilers, haha! That being said, I feel the need to add that I don't agree with or support any of JKR's bullshit, as you should neither. If you do, please unfollow! Cheers, everyone. I've missed this. – Paula
