Hi! So it's been nearly 5 years since I've actually posted anything on here. Or written any words at all. Um in the last five years, I've been diagnosed with Major depression, and anxiety, and one of the things antidepressants take from you is your creativity, which for me was a sacrifice worth making, otherwise I wouldn't be here today. Because not only was I depressed, I'd also become disabled which made my depression worse. I suffer from Chronic migraines and Post-herpetic Neuralgia, and both leave me with indescribable amounts of pain daily. While they are both manageable with medication, dealing with that and work - Hey I'm a certified chef now - left me with little in the tank to write. Then 2020 happened.
Another blow to my, admittedly already fragile body. I contracted Covid -19, and while a relatively mild case, it's left me with a warped sense of smell and taste, both things you need to be a chef, and with no clear idea if I'll ever get them back to normal. Then not to mention the breathing problems and inability to stand for more than a few minutes because Covid has literally set my feet on fire - my doctors don't know how, or why that's happened or how long that gonna last so MORE fun - has forced me to resign from my job, since I physically can't do it anymore.
I say all that to say, I actually had the urge to write today. So I sat down and wrote what was in my head and I'll post that in a minute. About the Watcher though, I hope I'll be able to go back to that, now that it seems my brain has room for words. It's gonna have to wait though, because Siamak and Nihani need their stories told. I'm not going to try to keep a schedule, because that would literally overwhelm me now, but I am going to try to write a few words a day though, even if it's just 30 words and I end up hating them at the end. Anyways thank you for reading my rambling words.
