{{ AKA Lenore's goofy rambling about her recent absence }}
Okay, being kind to myself here...life just got heavy. I won't go too in depth with it, but life circumstances really kept me strained. I had to pull back from a lot of stuff, and admittedly, I think there's going to be some rough patches this year as well, but I'm feelin good enough to return. And believe me, I've been wanting to return for a long ass time. But once you feel the pressure of life weighing you down, it's kinda hard not to curl up and go into focus mode, y'know?
Though, on the bright side of things...I started a new career! I've become a tattoo artist! It's wild to me that that's my calling, but it genuinely feels right. I am loving this journey to bits and pieces. And I've already done my very first tattoo on a client! My books opened recently and I'm happily keeping busy with that (along with a day job to supplement finances until I become stable with tattooing).
I'm doing my best to live on my own terms, in my own way, so that no matter what I can be happy and at least proud that I'm in control of my life. Those of you who have followed me for a long time may know how I struggled with feeling in control and confident in my life. But I'm getting there, and I can say that I am proud of this version of Lenore--of who I am today. I'm not everything that I wish to be, but I know in time that I will be.
There is so much gratitude in my heart for those of you who continued following me, tried reaching out, and for those who are new here. Y'all, I appreciate each and every one of ya. Please treat me with patience as I come back to the platform and still suck as replying to some DMs. I'm still a bit rusty and busy with life, but I am back, I am here, and I hope to be sticking around for a while yet.

Sorry I’m dumb 😂 Yes Penny is alive and improving, just a lot of shit snowballing at once lately—new medical diagnosis, med changes, family drama, work stress, y’know, all the usual junk. But I promised I’m not going anywhere and I am not!
This time of year is also unfortunately a painful one, but now that December is ending I’m hoping my mood changes. The holidays are always just a difficult time for me.
I also recently hit a mental roadblock with my writing, probably because of all the crap going on, but I’ve been getting back into it. Just lost some motivation for a while there, and I’ve been struggling to get it back. So, we’re getting there. Slow but steady wins the race I suppose?
Just letting ya'll know (if anyone is still paying attention to this blog) I am alive.
Life has been pretty crazy for me; between getting a new job, family drama and my own mental well-being becoming a roller coaster, I just could not find the energy to have a coherent thought irl, let alone on this blog.
I had so many plans for posts that just couldn't come together in time or how I wanted them to.
But I am hoping that I will have more breathing room in the new year and my life better put together so that I can get back to blogging and sharing my posts; even the ones that are long over due.
