Thank You. And I’m Still Here.

To everyone who reached out to let me know what was going on,

Thank you. Truly.

I see you, and I’m grateful.

I’m still sick and trying to rest as best I can,

but I want you to know your support didn’t just help, it grounded me.

Reminded me who I write for.

The next Rust and Silence post will still drop Monday,

same time, same place.

I’m not letting someone who lacks basic integrity hijack my time or my truth.

They don’t get to live rent-free in my head.

Also,

If you saw me blow up earlier, I apologize.

That’s not usually my style.

But when you’re exhausted, grieving, and someone steals something

you built with blood and breath,

it stings different.

I’m putting that weight down now.

Back to the work.

The real work.

Thank you for staying.

Thank you for seeing.
