hello, all.   i want so badly to be here.   i’ve just been… tired.   i wish that i had better news, or a more interesting story this time.   but really, that’s it.   the muse and motivation aren’t the problem.   honestly, i’ve been mentally drained for a number of reasons, and bruce’s headspace only tends to exacerbate that.   but ( like i so often claim ) i’m here now.   really, i think.  i made a promise to myself that i’m going to start being around more.  i need it. bruce is an important aspect of life for me and i won’t deprive myself of that any longer.
