I’ll apologise now for what will end up sounding like a self-indulgent ramble. Hopefully you’ll be able to forgive me!
I’ve been absent for most of 2017 on here for a number of reasons, the most important of which, was the tragic death of my youngest son’s friend. It had a major effect on me and many others and is something that I still haven’t been able to come to terms with.
What I’ve come to say is that I probably won’t be around, much more often, in 2018 either.
This year is a milestone one for me and it is significant enough for me to start to re-prioritise and realise that it’s time I “grew up!”
I want to thank mucwriter for organising the calendar again this year because it made me dip back into TSOM and make another video, something that I’ve had immense pleasure out of over the last decade. Yes, frighteningly I’ve been making them for at least that long!
I’ve made videos, written fanfic and for the last few years started drawing again. The latter I am perfectly comfortable with but the two former hobbies I have never felt quite as relaxed about. None of the friends that I see on a day to day basis know anything about my hobbies, apart from the drawing. They’ve always felt like a bit of an embarrassing secret, even though I have loved every minute of the time I’ve spent creating them. I just think that people would laugh or assume that I’m a complete nutter. I would love for people to know but I’m just not brave enough. I know that this is just a flaw in my character because I have so much admiration for all of you that continue to create the amazing stories that you do.
I’ve “fangirled” over several TV series and “ships” over the years and just lately I’ve come full circle and delved back into the one that started it all off for me. It just seems that for years all I’ve ever done is escape into these fantasy worlds. I think maybe I’m having a bit of a midlife crisis and this is my attempt now, of pulling myself together!
Anyhoo, I am rambling.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made me feel so welcome here from the word go. Even though I might not be around very much, I’ll still be on FB and Twitter and would love to keep in touch with you, so I guess what I’m saying is… please say hello sometimes and I’ll try too.
I’ll leave you with what will possibly be my last ever video. It’s taken some time and I hope you like it as much as I have enjoyed making it.
You lot are amazing… thank you for your friendship x
