Hello and thank you for listening once again. It is a Nightly Pleasures podcast update. I just

want to say before I begin that there's not going to be any erotic content this time around,

but don't worry that will be next week. I suppose that's what the update is. I need to tell you guys

about me and where I'm at and of course what that

means for you guys and the project and all the rest. First off, I hope you're well and really

too because people could use that right about now feeling good, feeling better, feeling all the rest.

Don't I know it?

I wanted to say thank you very much for letting me disappear on you all so much last year.

I needed it. I needed it even more than I thought, and I thought I needed it pretty bad.

So, thank you for that. In my absence and in my silence, I did a lot of contemplating,

a lot of reading, and just a lot of thanking in general. And I want to say that I legitimately

have been spending the first two weeks of this year so far, just trying to feel very grateful

and really attempting to put myself out there in a way that I allow all of my emotions to just flow free,

but I don't let the anger or the crassness or the frustration take me over.

And I got to say, that's been going on for a while, not just the last two weeks, it's been going great.

So I'm not going to get too emotional or too deep into it.

You've heard a lot of that on the podcast before with my struggles of mental health and what have you.

Really, I just, right now, is mostly feeling okay.

This world is very chaotic right now.

Things are very strange.

Things are very confusing in politics, in

medicine, and the rest. But I just want to say that, and I'm not putting on a brave face here,
