Slowly Writing Again

I'm nearly 2k into a shorter chapter from a story I haven't updated in a year. Would have been more but I spent most of yesterday rewriting a part or two to make it flow better. Feels weird but this year has been weird- the pandemic, getting done with work that I've been at for about 2 years, moving, pretty much losing any attempt at connection with my mom due to re-evaluating the good and bad of our relationship. Though ironically with that slight distancing from my mom, my relationship with my siblings have actually gotten slightly better. At least in terms of one since I'm really close to my sister, but my brother and I have always been a little less close due to reasons and happenstance. Kind of a whole mix of things but the last year has been rather slow and confusing for a lot of it and each big life change is either influenced by or influencing something.

But I'm taking steps so I'm not a depressed mess/ hermit lol. And being on my own feels weird but honestly I am looking forward to it. College wasn't perfect for me but that was the last time I was living in similar situations and well I was more happy than not. I mean already I plan on cooking by myself which I haven't done in a while since everytime I've wanted to in the last few years I rarely could due to circumstance or family stuff.

And sure using public transport will be weird but I feel good about it.

But if lucky I could see a 4-5k chapter come out. Not from my big story since I'm both not fully back mentally to deal with something that intense to write and plot out, but smaller more comedic stuff I have planned. I feel like soon I might be back in the zone because my life is finally straightening out into something that doesn't make me feel like a stressed out mess.
