Sorry for my recent hiatus, It's just that things have gotten very stressful lately. In mid-March, we had to go on a 5 hour long trip to get something very important done which I would rather not go into detail.

Then things got incredibly busy with my side job. For those of you wondering, I repair appliances and household electronics. It's a quite a fun job, as I see it as a puzzle to solve.

Then my mental problem began to gain the upper hand. It was now at that point that things had to change. Not only did my relationship with my devices had to change drastically, but with my own mind. I now have to be hyper-aware when any negative thoughts come up and when my mind begins to drift. So yeah, the devices are bad, but they aren't the only errant things. This battle has only gotten much more difficult as now I have to fight several enemies in separate realms, and the margin for error or loss is much smaller. It's not easy in any way, and I feel like I'm on borrowed time.

I'm not the only one who has to fight off those demons every day and neither are you. We all fight them, and no one is exempt.

Don't give up and give them the victory. You are strong! You deserve to live and happy and healthy life. Besides they don't deserve anything from you.

Also, during this time, I know I missed the recent birthdays. Things got so busy durning that time, I didn't even have time to go online, let alone see the activity.

So yeah, I'm most likely going to be going to be doing much less art and, most likely not going to be making any more birthday art, expect under maybe a few circumstances. It's simply too impractical to keep up with all these events, and its doing more harm than good. I feel incredibly stressed and constrained just writing all this.

I'm also maybe considering leaving the site, but don't worry yet, I haven't made the decision yet, but only time will tell.
