I was gonna do this anyway, but something that happened just a couple of hours ago (me getting incredibly angry over a videogame) made me expedite it.

I’m detoxing myself from the internet for a while.

I will still be active. If anything, this will make me MORE active, ironically.

I finally have a solid understanding of who I am and who I wanna be, and what I want to achieve to get there. I spend way too much of my time sitting in front of screens for the dopamine, and if I’m gonna be at my PC or using my tablet, I’d rather have it be for something with purpose.

Basically, for my own sake, I’ll be trying to cut down on my “online time” UNLESS I’m doing something with it. That could be writing, rendering, messaging people, studying, or occasional moments where I know I deserve a break.

I want to get back to irl hobbies and let my brain relax instead of constantly stimulating myself, and I also need the space to work on my personality.

What does this mean for people following me for Content? Well, hopefully :
- MORE WRITING, because I’ll be forcing myself to not resort to video games to eat up my free time when I could be trying to make stuff. That’s honestly been the main reason my output slowed, I’d spend entire days on various games just to avoid facing real life.
- MORE/BETTER 3D STUFF, ditto.
- MORE COMMUNICATION, because I’ll be using social media more intentionally and trying to chat more, make more friends, etc.
- A BETTER ME, in time. I know who I wanna be, and improving myself will likely improve the version of me you all get to chat to or hang out with.

Long post that a lot of people won’t necessarily care about, but I needed to get it out there. Having a post like this out in public makes it harder to ignore.

Sidenote: prepare for 🐮
The new fursona I’m working on has really been the final catalyst for this, because I finally know who I want to be and have a character that represents it. You’ll see his full design sooner or later, but let’s just say that I’ve NEVER vibed with a character harder and he’s become body and personality goals for me.

Some of you might love it, some might hate it, but I’ve felt this kind of comfort in an OC design. Not even Grenvil or Galvin ever resonated this much. Whether that changes anything about my content as a knock-on effect in the long term, we’ll just have to wait and see.
