*blows the dust off*
Guess what? I'M STILL ALIVE! :D I came across this beautiful quote and thought this community would be the best to share it with:
"This is our goal as writers, I think; to help others have this sense of--please forgive me--wonder, of seeing things anew, things that can catch us off guard, that break in on our small, bordered worlds. When this happens, everything feels more spacious. Try walking around with a child who's going, "Wow, wow! Look at that dirty dog! Look at that burned-down house! Look at that red sky!" And the child points and you look, and you see, and you start going, "Wow! Look at that huge crazy hedge! Look at that teeny little baby! Look at the scary dark cloud!" I think this is how we are supposed to be in the world--present and in awe."

In other news, I am overloading this semester and have caught an addiction with baking (:P), but I have no plans of cutting ties with you simmers mmkay. My deepest apologies for being such a ghost all the while. :(
