Hey, everyone!

I decided that I'm going to try to start updating this fanfic again. I've been having a rough time of it recently, so I'm trying to get back into writing as a hobby. My attention span has become total garbage, but I'll start slow and go from there! Anyhow, I've got some life updates for journaling purposes. Last time I updated The Stories, I was only 19! I'm nearly 22 now, and so much has happened since then. I've had my heart broken a few times, moved out of my parents' house in 2020, and in the same year, I got a job in the industry I've been wanting to go into since I was a child. The automotive industry is rather unforgiving for women, but I'm sticking with it until I get into a better job.

I got my own cat in July, 2020! Her name is Mae, and she's honestly the reason I'm still alive and kicking. I had a yearlong relationship with a new roommate, but that unfortunately didn't end well, as he admitted to using me for my income for the whole time period. I moved out of our apartment in September, 2021, and moved into the downtown Charlotte duplex that my oldest sister is renting. I got a raise in January, so now I make $15 an hour instead of $13 an hour. I'm not satisfied, and money is still exceedingly tight, but I'm hoping that the future becomes brighter for me.

Regarding Gorillaz, the fixation has gone from what it was in my teens, but I miss being a superfan and losing myself in writing about them. Today, 02/09/2022, is the day that I start up again!

Thanks for reading, and let's get onto the new season of The Stories!

Until next time,

Hawk
