I didn't realise it's been so long, I have to much to tell you. 
I reread my last update in April last year and, oh my days, so much has happened in my life since that my writing has taken a step back as other things have become more of a priority. 
I was let go from my last job, then brought back on as a casual because they were understaffed, but they didn't want to hire me back properly. I started a new job a few months later, and it's been so intense with the training and the work-load that my creative projects had to pause while I figured out how to balance everything. 
Which, after working there for over 6 months now, I now have that balance. I'm dabbling in cross-stitching, crochet, embroidery, I have a colouring book, I have my books I'm reading - I'm aiming to read 100 books this year, I've never hit that goal before, so that's on my list. 
The other thing I started doing last year, and am doing this year, is that I have a manifest bucket list. I saw it on Instagram reels a few years back, that someone wrote out a list of roughly 300 things that they wanted to manifest for the new year - not a to-do list, per se, but a list of all the big and little things they wanted to have happen for them. 
So I've got a bucket list of 300 things for this year, and I'm slowly ticking them off. My milestones, my little achievements and my big accomplishments. 
One of the things is finishing up my writing - my romance novel, TMF, and if possible, finishing up all the other projects I have started on 카지노후기. 
Last year, in my last update, I mentioned that I was afraid of my books being stolen and put on other apps or sites. It made me so wary about writing on 카지노후기 that I was writing TMF offline, which I'm still doing, but now, my mentality on my work being stolen has changed. 
I found out today that Typhoon & Tempest is on the Google Play app, Romance Novel Library, under a different name and author - and there's nothing I can do about it. And you know what? I didn't feel anything when I found that out. I just went, 'okay', and shrugged. 
It lead to me writing this update, opening up 카지노후기 to 1200+ notifications, and also to opening up TMF to write again now that my work has settled down a bit. 
I'm not going to be able to stop my work being stolen. It's gonna be stolen, as 카지노후기 struggles with the security of it's authors and their books, but I can shut them down as best I can when I discover the theft, and I can just continue to keep going, to not let it stop me. 
I love writing books, it's one of my oldest hobbies and my greatest comforts. I still don't talk about it in my personal life, only with a select few, but my stories? I love creating characters and worlds, and I like to challenge myself with a new POV, or a new genre - like I'm doing with the contemporary romance that is TMF. 
I'm just at a point where I realise that I can't allow negative things to dampen my positive projects. I like writing. I will keep writing, and as long as I write there will be someone who will try to steal the project - and all they will be known as is a thief and a liar. I can keep going, keep writing, and even if I write outside of 카지노후기 they won't be able to stop my hobby. 
This has been my comfort and escape for so many years, and my books have also been a comfort for so many - I'm not letting thieves get in the way of that.
The other thing I realised in March 2025 - it's been four years since T&T finished! It's also been seven years that I've had chronic pain, and the message I craved to hear back then I can now relay - it's all going to be okay. It's all going to work out, and I'm going to be fine. 
Because although my justified fears halted things for a moment, they only paused my hobbies, and I can keep going when I'm ready - and I'm finally ready. 
I'll chat to you all soon. 
With love,
