Hey ya'lls. Lately ya'll probably have noticed im not that active here that much, ever since before and when I got back from the hiatus. I've been active with making and doing arts, and been exploring things I haven't tried before, but I haven't been that active here very much anymore.

I've been trying to be active, but I just can't get the motivation to do any arts that would be good for posting here asides from occasional YCH's. And when I do make the YCH's, I've noticed I've been taking a bit more time to get to doing them vs how I used to immediately start them once I got them. Not just that, but they aren't selling well either as of late, and im very greatful that anyone at this point are purchasing them! Im not going to complain, as I know things are tough right now, really tough. But at the same time I feel like im missing the mark with the YCH's and that its not becoming viable to do anymore. And I guess in time it'll probably get better and I'll be able to make something that people will be interested in again. But until then, im probably not going to post much of anything here for the time being, as im currently trying to look into alternative means of making money, I will still try and post maybe a YCH, maybe? But im not sure on that.

To be honest, I somewhat had a feeling things were going to reach this point, I was just hoping I could probably stave it off for a bit and keep the momentum going and try and make this a viable means to earning money, but inevitably, I feel my lack of skill and motivation to keep up with consistent postings have lead to this point. Is not entirely bad I think, I just need to get better I guess.

Im not leaving, but im not really going to be active either. Just like I have been lately, im just going to be existing while my efforts are done elsewhere. Im still going to try and do YCH's, but I think I should wait until I do them again, once the current one is all done and wrapped up. Im not really going to advertise my commission status, they're always open, but its been so long since I last had a taker, so im just gonna let it remain under the dust lol

Honestly, on the social side of things, things aren't so great, and they haven't been great for the longest time. I mostly feel like its primarily due to me and my lack of interaction and communication skills, as im quite introverted. But when ya fall into obscurity and remain there as ya watch everything grow more and more distant, ya kinda get used to it lol
This is not to be meant as a sad or feel-bad line of thought, as I've been feeling this for the longest time and im just used to it by now. Im not good at socializing so it doesn't really surprise me that my attempts at socializing eventually end up falling into obscurity, and thats just me being honest about it. And for anyone reading, im not talking about anyone or any particular groups, but instead am just talking about any of my attempts at socializing. Im just not good at it lol

But thats pretty much my thoughts lately, and am sharing them after not sharing them for so long due to how things are going to go moving forward for me regarding here. Im not going to be active here anymore, as in posting arts and stuff. As much as I want to keep going with the YCH's and commissions, I feel like there isn't any interest anymore, and my lack of energy and motivation has lead me to end up not keeping up with consistency and leading to a steady decline in interest. I know when I've fallen into obscurity, despite my efforts, and that is where im just going to remain for the time being. Im just gonna exist here until I am able to make stuff I feel is worth peoples time and money, or just be able to post arts here again like I used to. But I feel like that won't be for a long time. Im not going to close comms or any arts, but im not really going to advertise them either. I honestly don't have the time or energy, or motivation even, to get things going again. Im focusing my efforts elsewhere, and unfortunately will not be posting any of my latest works here.
In a way im not really leaving, but not really staying either. The gist of it is, im not going to be active here anymore and will just exist. Once this current YCH batch is completed, I'll look into alternative means of making monies and stop making YCHs for the time being. Commissions will not be advertised, but not really closed either. If people want a comm, they can always feel free to reach out. But activity here will remain the same, obscure and existing lol

I hope things for peoples get better! And also I do one day would like to return and resume making and posting the arts again like old times, but until then I'll just be here sitting in my corner watching things go about.
