Absence · 6:38pm Oct 6th, 2015
Perhaps it will have been noticed that I have been absent for about two or three months. This is almost entirely from necessity, and partly by dismay. Scratch that; reverse it. As circumstances are, I had been looking for a job for money, and have got none for my struggles.
Now I am moving to Southern WA on the first weekend of Nov. I'll be living on my Uncle's family's land with his family and my grandma, who is moving up from SoCal as well. I suppose I'll get a job there, money, stepping and falling in the aspiring balancing from crawling to walking, however that is. Most of all, I do more than anything hope to publish some stories in Portland, OR. If anything, I'll be working for my Uncle in some way for a time before I get a job somewhere else. Who knows what will happen from there.
I've been rather overcome with some general and ambiguous anxiety about my life, and struck with bouts depression with seeming no cause, though likely I do not yet see the reasons for my depression beyond the anxiety. As it is, I am genetically predisposed toward depression, so in part it could be little more than those genes rearing their ugly heads again.
I've missed my time on here, with you my friends.
As far as stories, I do not know what will become of them, either in the short run or the long run. Not mentioning the 9 or so other unpublished stories, I have one last new story I must to publish at least:
Suri Polomare Bleeds
Whenever I have time and the emotional stability to write it, I will. As for all the rest, again, I do not know; I am loath to put them on hiatus.
As convenience is, I have become more reach-able on facebook and twitter. Feel free to contact me there if you would like. PM me and I can provide links to you of my closer friends here. I also have my NNID for any who would like to add me and we can play some Splatoon, Sm4sh, and Mario Kart 8 together, or share courses in Super Mario Maker. For those who have my email and/or cell number, feel free to contact me if you like, I would very much like to hear how you all have been.
A friendly hug in thought,

Gee I was wondering where you were. At least still alive.
Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for the update! A new beginning! I look forward to future updates! How lucky you are to have the opportunity to live with your uncle and Grandma. I hope your family is ok. I think of you often, and wish the very best for you! You are more precious and loved than you could ever imagine.
With much love, Annie
