Hello, fellow individuals!  It is I, trulyfantasticme. I lost access to my old account, so I had to make a new one.

My goodness, it's been so long since I've last been here. After wrestling with the decision of re-joining this forum or not, I ultimately decided that I would. As a part of a healing process in my life, I am allowing myself to explore my interests, hence the decision to re-join this forum. As the username may imply, I don't go by my old name anymore. Instead, I go by Andi, but I am also in the process of exploring names and trying out the name Petra, which may suit me better. Feel free to call me either, though I am currently favoring Petra.  I'm nonbinary, meaning I don't identify as male or female, and my pronouns are they/them.

As I'm sure you've figured, I'm not the same person I was ten years ago. A lot has changed. I'm in college now, going for a generalized associate's degree with an interest in psychology, and may transfer to a university. I'm enjoying it a lot, I get to explore new topics, ideas, and try new things. I've had a very stressful quarter as I am four weeks behind in one of my classes and don't have much hope of catching up before the end of it, which I'm trying to figure out what to do about. But this is probably the first time in my life when the stress didn't outweigh what I was passionate about. It's an odd feeling, but I suppose I am finally beginning to live my life after so long.   

I probably won't be as active as I was when I first joined this forum ten years ago, but I am in the process of re-writing Lost in a Forest. A lot of things are going to be different in the story and I'm debating whether to post it here or put it on fanfiction or AO3 and give you guys a link to it. I suppose we'll see when the rock rolls. 

It's lovely to see you guys again!
