The great AFK of 2016: It's not you, it's me...

Here we are, one year and one month from my last post, again. I'm really neglecting this thing, huh? I realized it was time for me to scoot into gear and get back on the blogging after a long conversation with one of my fans-turned friend yesterday. I realize that my absence affects you guys but sometimes I forget just how much, and how negatively, my AFK status can be on you. Especially those of you I have had the honor to form close friendships with. So allow me to apologize once again and hopefully clear up some questions you may or may not have.

I'm not mad at you. I'm not trying to ghost out. Also, I'm okay and not rocking back and forth in the fetal position with crippling anxiety. Since moving here about two years ago, lots of crazy things have happened in my AFK life. Some things you know about, and some I cannot share in order to protect my secret identity, lol. There have been a few huge and life changing changes (thesaurus anyone?) that have taken place, namely last summer leading up to basement Zoe and crazy cranky sad Zoe. I'm working on ways to release details to you guys without threatening the brand and community we have built over the last 3 and a half years together. Allow me to reiterate, IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME!

Top #20 - Competition

My birthday is here, and once again we will be competing for a spot in the top #20 Miss MFC. I want to remind everyone that while this is a fun and friendly competition, it is still competitive. I would ask my members to keep a positive attitude and adhere closely to the "if you don't have anything nice to say, stfu" rule.

I don't want to down play the competitive aspect of all this. It's there, we can't deny it. But we can choose to conduct ourselves in a mature way and we can choose to gain a positive perspective from it.

Not so much in a writing mood....

But there is this, so...

Happy Hump Day!
