Well, it has officially been a full decade since I first properly joined the TF community. Even with my 4 year of period of poor motivation which was basically a hiatus, I was still actively keeping up with a lot of the community (though definitely missed a lot as well given I didn't have an FA account).

I started writing and posting TF stories at 14... yeah, maybe some poor decisions were made starting that early. Still, after going through and re-posting all of the stories from pre-COVID here, I'm proud of the growth in my writing style. Still have a lot of self-doubt but... I guess that's pretty normal.

Now that I'm at the mark of 24, it feels a little weird knowing that, going forward, things in life are going to be very different. But I'm really glad that there are still people who really enjoy my stories. Even after 4 years of no posting, some of you were still just waiting for the day I return and that I really do greatly appreciate.

You all have helped me feel like I never had that long period of not posting at all, and I do plan to keep it that way going forward... especially since I do have more time at night now given I don't have to spend evenings working on university assignments anymore.

Here's to more TFs in the future!
