Hello, fandom.

[wistful_fever]

It has been a very long time. The longest to date, I believe. I have undergone an extreme transitional period in my life where fandom/fannishness took a true backseat for the first time since the age of thirteen. I shut myself out of the "fabella" role completely, I don't regret it since it gave me so much room to make decisions, but now that

I want to go to California, too! I was born there and I think part of me has always thought of it as home. Maybe we'll meet up there someday! This is the longest I've ever stayed in one place and I'm restless; It's never felt like home to me, like I belong here. I'm not sure why exactly. But it's not entirely without its moments. I'm excited about moving to a new place, even if it's only a few blocks over. Despite having lived in this city the longest, I've moved 4 times in the past 7 years. Change is good!

I'm turning 28 in September and I find myself less and less interested in fannish stuff. There are certain things and certain parts and certain people I look forward to seeing/hearing/reading, but fandom as a whole I'm happy to do without. I find myself looking more and more at photography and art and essays, etc. Inspiration. I could never leave this world behind completely, it's part of who I am, but a balance would be nice. Otherwise I find myself lonely and depressed and in a very dark place in my mind.

Oh oh, I love hearing stories about how people fell in love; how did you two meet? Who made the first move? Etc. Anything you want to share, I'd love to hear! :)
