I have not updated in five days, and I am extremely sorry for that. (Unless you're reading this way later. Hello, friend from the future!)

Regardless, this is an explanation, as well as 5 days worth (hopefully) of DDOH.

My grandfather passed away last week. It was the first loss I've had of someone who is close to me, and was rather difficult. My family has been under a lot of stress, me especially coupled with the impending approach of exams. I found it really hard to be online.

But I'm back. When we hit bumps in the road, we keep on rolling. Grief is good for the soul. It is the price of love. And it is a price I am willing to pay.

I'd like to share some wisdom given to me by my good friend Aroh_Inolas.

You are a warrior. It doesn't matter if your knees give out from under you or your muscles scream with pain as long as you keep fighting. As long as that heart is pumping blood, you must fight.  Every breath you take is a newfound weapon and you must use it.

Go forth and fight, my warriors.
