Hey there.

I need to start this journal by apologizing to those that I have been distant to, haven't spoken to as much lately, or have just struggled in responding to in general. I'm just growing socially exhausted, I'm struggling to maintain conversation and focus, and I feel like currently my life is just weighing me down. I'm sorry if it takes time for me to respond to your notes, or to messages on other platforms, or I struggle to engage in roleplays that I've discussed with certain people.

As mentioned in a previous journal, a family member of mine has become increasingly sick. We received an update tonight that she's been admitted to hospital again tonight, and her condition has worsened. Her cancer is now aggressive, it's spreading, and her time left is short. They say they can't see her recovering, and they've given her a life expectancy. I've asked not to hear it, I don't feel I can cope with knowing roughly when a family member is going to die. But I know it can't be good.

All plans of seeing her before she goes have been abruptly stopped. There's no time. We can't get a plane half way across the world so soon.
It'll be text messages and video chats until the end.

I apologise in advance if my activity and communications are slowed down for a while. I hope you understand.
Hopefully there will be good news soon.
