Hey, I am still here!

Oh my god... It really has been a hot minute since I've last opened and stepped foot into writing an article here. I am not even sure what's been going on or the latest things happening on here in Vocal.

But what can I tell you? My life has been anything but hectic. Let's dive into what's happening since we've got a lot to catch up on!

Where did you go?

Age old question. Typical. But let's be clear and honest. I was gone for sometime to deal with school and it's crazy amount of piling assignments given to me. Plus, at the time, I was a bit... uninspired so I chose to disappear.

Now? I came back, and I couldn't believe my eyes!

Thank you to everyone who continuously reads my articles that's either filled with information or overall rambling over my favorite crime Youtubers who've made a significant impact in respectful journaling.

Another one I've been surprised with is the amount of reads and which articles have gained traction. Here's the top 3 reads of all time:

I am more than grateful people are reading my true crime podcasters series! It's an honor to be able to share some of my favorites. I'd like to announce that I'll probably make another article regarding that, but I might need extensive resources to pull through with this article. I am still a bit rusty, so forgive me for my lack of writing and knowledge.

I'm more than pleased and dedicated to writing something and getting into it. My articles have always focused on true crime and it's history, alongside with fun things like mystery shows like Going Seventeen (Any Cubics or Carats out here?) which makes the writing and inspiration progress bearable.

What happened while you were gone?

How do I put this simply? Short answer, life happened.

Long answer? Let's break this down one by one so everyone can keep up with what's been happening with my life.

1. School (College): Boo, boooring!! (JK) I actually need that degree and that piece of paper is my one way ticket to actually getting a job, thanks!
2. Inspiration: Lack of inspiration since I felt like I had talked so much about true crime and delved into it as best as I could without being too overly political.
3. Logged out: Yea, I logged myself out purposely due to the fact that I was doing some assignments, and it needs those cookies to not be the cause of my assignments demise!!! Yippee!
4. Life: As always, life happened. I'd like to unpack that, but this could take hours, and me yapping isn't a good sign either, so I'll just let you know in these few keywords. Tragedy, loss, and parting ways.

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's focus back on something entirely different.

What are you doing back here?

I wanted to come back and check what's been going on but to my surprise, I didn't miss much, other than the occasional spiking surge of reads per day from the community itself.

If I would want, I wanted to try something different, branch away from true crime as it was my topic of interest since the early of last year. I wanted to use this space as my own and speak whatever topic I like without being afraid of the consequences of the algorithm taking over. If my topic does well, I appreciate it being read by people who care about these topics, if not, that's okay because I have plenty of topics I want to dive deep into in the near future.

Future of my articles?

Honestly? I don't have an idea. If I was going to be honest, the reason I even came here was to gain some income, some money so I can at least have something for myself, regardless if it is real or not. But over the span of time, I actually enjoyed writing something and bringing up topics that I truly liked to share to the audience. I hope this can be your safe space in being able to enjoy the topics I talk about and I urge you all to discuss as it is interesting to hear different opinions coming from all walks of life.

Ending Note

I hope everybody is okay and happy and well! I'm happy to see everyone again, thriving in their respective areas and doing the best with what they love most: Writing!

It's an outlet, it's an escape.

[Shameless promotion for a hot minute! I just want to let you know, I'm also actively on Wattpad, writing a bunch of things. My user is @/anisahisk and the main themes are fanfics and kpop fanfic]

Anyways, I hope to see you all in the next article! Goodbye~
