Dearest Blinking Light
I address this post to all the RSS feed readers out there with the one line that never went boldface for these past months. I’m sorry. I know how much it fulfills you to have a feed turn bold, bourgeoning with new content to be read. Alas, as of late, this blog has not provided you or your users with much in the way of stimulation. Perhaps it is sufficient to say that life moves on and that I am well, but I feel like I owe something to the people who bothered to read me.
I haven’t been well. Physically, my health is excellent. I’m more or less functioning as expected for a 24 year old human male. Alas, however, my emotional healh is traversing a rough track. Depression set me back quite a bit a while ago, and the side effects of treatment made life difficult even when feeling well. As if to scream not yet enough, the most recent turn of events has seen my first full-on manic episode and a complete overhaul of the treatment I need to recieve to keep bringing the science, math, and nerd derived content of this blog in spite of my bipolar disorder.
I’m not going to ask a thing from you. This is my fight, and I am going to fight it. This is a promise of a one-day return-to-force for all data points within 68.2% of the mean of the distribution.

I have been patiently waiting for this one particular light to blink, ever since I launched my own blogs a few months back. I had presumed that the pressures of grad school were keeping you occupied, and under normal circumstances that would be enough too. Now I see you have been fighting a different sort of battle. I wish you strength in your fight, and look forward to hearing more from you again.
