Y'all, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. I've been going through the wringer lately, and it doesn't appear that my ass-beating will be over anytime soon. Maybe 2027 will be my year, but 2026 has not been pulling any punches. But I'm not here to talk about all the hardship again. I'm not here to say how my worldview has shifted or how I've made progress on my creative projects (because there definitely hasn't been enough to update about). I'm just here to say hey. Hope y'all have been having a better go of it than I have, and I hope...
