Originally posted to Twitter, but thought I would post my little reflection ramble here too :)

My year in this space has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. There's been highs, lows, and so much in between. I've met some incredible people, made some wonderful friends, and met some people I NEVER want to work with again.

I've learned things about myself, about other people, and about things, in general, I never could've imagined. I've (hopefully) grown as a person, and (hopefully) upped some skills I thought I'd just left to rot.

Over the course of the year, I've written 10 scripts, 9 NSFW, and 1 SFW. All of them have been filled at least once, which I am so, SO grateful for.

Two of these scripts are very personal to me since they were written in relation to my disability. "Warrior" which was my first SFW script that deals with helping the listener through a chronic pain flare-up, and "Not A Glass Doll" which deals with a visually impaired listener.

Putting these two scripts out in particular was so anxiety-inducing for me that I debated even posting them at all. The response I got when I did post them made all that anxiety go away, knowing that I'd written words that people could relate to.

I never thought that these scripts (or any script I've written for that matter) would resonate with as many people as they did, but I am so glad I put them out there.

A year on from my first script I truly wish I had something more profound to say, other than "Thank you."

Thank you for taking the time to read my scripts. For taking the time to get to know me as a person. For letting me bitch and whine about things. For being so supportive.

Thank you if you ever reached out to me to check in, to send support during some shitty times. For the retweets, the likes, the replies, the upvotes, the comments, the fills, all of it. It means the absolute world to me.

I'd be lying if I said there weren't some points during this last year where I was strongly considering just wiping everything, and leaving without a trace. Points where I wondered what the purpose of me even being here at all was.

So many moments of feeling so tired of being disrespected or underappreciated or even unacknowledged. Of course, those were temporary and passed, and I know I would feel nothing but regret if I did leave. I've met too many wonderful people to do them a disservice by disappearing.

Whilst I've been on somewhat of a break due to the whole script theft incident, I've still been writing where I can. And I really hoped to have had a script finished to post for today but health issues and such just didn't let it happen.

But I'm still here. Still writing. Still trying to support everyone where I can. I'm here and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Here's to a year of (officially) being a degenerate.

If you took the time to read my silly ramblings, here or even the ones prior to this, thank you. I appreciate you so much more than you could imagine. 🖤
