I guess this is just a quick life update and an explanation for my lacking of responsiveness (I think I'm being even less active than usual) with people as of late.
Approximately one month ago I have started suffering from anxiety and obsessive thoughts in a way I had never experienced before, to the point I started having problems breathing normally or interacting with people the way I usually do. It was something new and scary, and I had no idea how to deal with it. I went to the doctor and I am currently on light anxiety meds. Things have improved but I am still a bit off... sometimes even just hearing a single word in a random context can trigger an overreaction in my head, and I have spent a few days absolutely terrified by the idea that it will be like this forever. Hopefully it won't, I just can't wait to get over all of this, or at least to find a way to control my head in order to not spiral into scary thoughts all the time.

On a brighter side note, this year I will attend the Annecy Festival for the first time ever, and I am super excited about it even if I have no idea what to expect :D I have been to a couple of small animation festivals in Italy, but never to something as big as Annecy. All I want is getting the chance to listen to people talk and acquire new inputs and inspiration for study and research subjects. And also watching a bunch of animated stuff.

Once again, sorry to those of you I am not replying on time or talking to as much as I should. Hope to be back soon.
Take care!
