OOC: Where I've Been
I live.
You may remember there was once another Ten out there...clever_wanderer , I think it was? Yeah, they were there for a bit, and then just suddenly stopped being there. There were no new prompts, no responses to comments, no conversations on AIM, no tags, it was as if this other Ten just randomly vanished off the face of the planet.
Well, that's kind of true.
I'm not sure how many people I've admitted my age to. There was a time when I was afraid to reveal my age, as I was afraid I wasn't going to be taken seriously. I'm only 17 years old. I'll be 18 soon, but at the moment, I'm still just 17. I'm in my senior year of high school which, for some reason, I was told was going to be fairly easy and laid back compared to my other years of high school. Oh how wrong that was.
I suppose it's different for everyone. Some people can take the stress of applying to college while simultaneously keeping their grades up and trying to do what they've always done on the side. It sounds easy, and most people who have been through it have probably told you it is. I usually work well under stress, but I for some reason this time I cracked. I couldn't do it. I was in two plays at once, a scene study, all my classes were honors or AP courses, really, the list goes on. The more I piled on myself, the more I was unable to accomplish, and thus, the more frustrated I became with myself to the point where, somewhere around late January, early February, I completely broke down. I stopped talking to people, I stopped writing, I stopped doing pretty much anything short of what I needed to do for college. I was mad at myself, and couldn't really bring myself to do anything about it. This lasted for quite some time. I'm only now starting to pull myself out of this mood, and I have a feeling that even if I do get into college, it may take a while before I'm back to my old self again.
I am going to try my absolute hardest to get something posted today. Several things, hopefully, since I'm unbelievably far behind in both prompts and tags.I'll also be sure to actually respond to an comments I may get. I apologize profusely for the lack of response in anything, in RP, in replies to comments, in life in general. I would specifically like to apologize to one particular person - who should know who they with the inclusion of the word "temperance" into this sentence - for not being around for nearly an entire month. I'm not sure when I'll be back to talk, I'm not sure when I'll drag myself out of this. There's really no excuse for my inability to write, update, and generally communicate, and for that, I utterly apologize.
I know I've been fairly invisible lately. I know that many people probably won't see this. But to those that do, know that this serves as both an explanation and an apology. Thank you for reading, and as always, thank you for putting up with me.
