so...

I'm taking a small break from blogging. It's not that I want to actually go on hiatus. But I'm feeling dried up on ideas for what I want to blog about.

I have so many ambitions and goals, but I'm in a place of self-discovery. So some things in my life have to take a pause.

and this is one of them.

I will be back at the end of the month for another recap post because I loved doing that recap for April.

And I'm not saying I'm taking the whole month off or anything. I don't really know what my plan is. But when I'm ready, I'll fully return with new stories, new insights, and hopefully knowledge of my plan for this blog.

I'm not abandoning it. never. I love it here.

but sometimes we need rest. and I think that's exactly what I need right now.

I love you guys. <3

::lyrics that speak to me::

~diving bell, starset~
In my mind
endless sea
calling from the bottom
but you don't hear me
send your line
down to me
meet me on the surface 
I will never leave

*cue screaming*

This moment right here is so surreal, y'all. I don't even know how to introduce this post. I am at a loss for words. My heart is so full and I'm going to cry if I keep talking like this, so let's get to the good stuff.

First, I want to thank everyone in the blogging community who has encouraged and supported me.

Thank you to my beta readers, my critique partner, and everyone else who has cheered me on in this journey. Some of you will know just how long this has been coming.

Without further ado, here is my precious baby.
