Ave,
I've been away for quite some time, long enough to scarcely remember anyone. I assure everyone that the choice was not my own, by any means. I had a mate who was controlling and severely manipulative. I was pressured into alienating myself from those in the Community I loved; all so that he could have his way with every female that would have him. It's my own fault really, I am very stubborn and needed to assure myself that the young child--yes, he is very much one--was beyond my ability to aid.
Aside from that, I have been on deployment since October of last year, and hope to be seeing homeport soon enough. I have seen a fair portion of ports between at-sea periods, and am grateful for some of my experiences. I've met a couple of friends worth holding onto, and have been on tours of locations that most people only see on the Discovery Channel. I feel truly blessed. ^_^
For all the drama and hurt I went through last year, I find myself at peace with most of it, and looking forward to the future for better days; life doesn't stop because the people in it decide to be imbeciles. I continue to press on with my studies (more for maintenance sake, because I am only getting older and may just forget tidbits) and desire to seek out new material, perhaps even to generate my own.
