Update 4 - Is anyone still here?

So...I've journeyed around. Had time to think. A lot of things have happened. But ultimately we're back here.

2012 has been a terrible year overall. I mean it started off pretty damned well - Ponies were good, relationships were generally good and of course, Something Broken. While not the best fic I've written (many inconsistencies, hectic pacing and a few other problems), it remains the only one I've actually gotten finished. The others? Probably never will be finished.

I left because of Depression. Three months on, and I still feel bad. And of course, I still feel very, very depressed, without a way to properly express it. I still feel there's a lot of people who come here solely on the grounds I do Ponies. They're not interested in anything else I can do or make when I get the time. If your not one of those people, then fine - feel free to ignore that part. Otherwise, things are bad.

It's coming up to Christmas, and I feel it's been a terrible year for us. Moods have been low, tempers have been high, money has for the most part been tight (it hasn't helped with the staggering energy bill we received nary a month ago by now), and of course, we are rather alone, though nobody's fault other than our own.

I guess if you want to come back, I'm not going to stop you.

But I do wish you have a better Christmas than I have had, a better New Years, and of course a better 2013 than I will have.
