I've found that since I've moved to Arizona a year ago my energy levels for doing what I use to do back in Virginia (writing, games, watch art streams, finding joy, talking to friends on Discord) has been dwindling until it's so low I only have energy for work, which is making me miserable.

Everything I end up doing feels forced and I'm not having a good time. For the time being, I'm not gonna accept commissions until I can get my energy back. I'll write the one I've accepted and try to post stuff as often as my energy levels will allow.

I'm gonna follow my friends' advice and look for another job. This place is draining on my physical and mental health more so than my last store. It's amazing that a place that was actually tolerable to work with because of the people is better than the place I'm currently at. It's amazing how different management and communication is and I don't like it. I'm hoping when I get a new job my mood and energy will improve and I can get back to writing more often again.

I hope you guys understand. Thanks for the support <3
