So, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I am sorry to all artists and others who I left unanswered and unresponsive for so long. The truth is that I was in a dark period of my life and I was trying to get out of it by spending money I couldn't afford. It became an addiction. I would fall into a depressive mood, and, in an attempt to lift my spirits, I'd find cute YCH's to either bid or commission on. The problem was, that depression got deeper every time I clicked "submit comment" with my bid amount. So on to another auction. Then another. So on and so forth. By the time I had managed to pull myself out of it, I had wiped out 1/3rd of all my college/university tuition savings. That was when I realized I had a problem, one that was being fed by the relative ease of online auctions. So, with a heavy heart, I made the choice to step away from this website. For my own mental health. As well as financial health. I was ashamed of myself. I didn't want anyone to know how bad it had gotten, so I thought it best to just disappear for the time being. That was the wrong thing to do. I should have at least reached out and said that I would be taking a hiatus temporarily. Except I was too scared to. Once more, I'd like to say I'm sorry to everyone who wondered where I had gone and if I was okay. I'm back now, but my problematic spending remains. I hope I can have better control of it this time around. Thank you.
