An overdue apology
a year ago
I made a big post about this on my Twitter/X but I need to apologize properly here as well.
I disappeared two years ago and it was due to strain on my mental and physical health. I took on too much and destroyed my health and then, when it got too much to handle, I snapped and disappeared.
That's just what happened. It wasn't the right way to handle things and there is no excuse for thinking that just disappearing was the appropriate reaction.
It wasn't.
This isn't just me apologizing, it's me also warning other artists against doing what I did. Learn from my mistake and take care of yourself. Take breaks. Don't take on more than you can handle thinking it'll be okay if you only do it for a little while. Don't keep putting off having a weekend to yourself.
It adds up and it will catch up to you.
Don't burn out like I did.
This isn't me coming back and saying I'm doing commissions again; this is me coming back and saying I'm going to do better and I'm going to be healthier about it.

Thank you for your lovely words <3
Please take your time to find your pace again, you must take some rest..
The podcast kept me going, even when I didn't feel love doing it anymore.
Long story short, it's a big reason why I was able to come back <3
