The Name the Forest Forgot

  " She came from the silence beneath roots and bones, where forgotten gods dare not look—crowned in ash, and kissed only by shadows." She was summoned in the stillness between lightning strikes and the first scream of the trees, when the veil thins and the forest whispers its secrets. Mushrooms unfurl beneath her touch, drawing sustenance from old bones and memories best left behind.

So I’m slowly learning to cope, and to accept that it’s okay to not be okay right now. Sometimes, I suppose, just acknowledging your struggles can be the first step toward healing.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. I hope to find my way back to sharing and creating soon, which I know I will even though the road ahead is quite dark and full of obstacles. Still, your support means the world to me during this tough time.
