it's been a while since I last posted; things are very good, i am in good health

i have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to publish a book of short stories i've 
been writing for some time now

i am also very much in love with someone; he is a poet named chris and we've known each 
other ~7 or so years. he was married to a lady but then came out of the closet and 
amicably ended said relationship.

we spent most of the pandemic getting to know one another all over again and finally 
hung out on our first date back in november of last year. 

i honestly could not be any happier
