Alright guys...ARGH this is gonna be hard to write... ........................................................................................ So...As you've probably guessed by now...I'm taking a break from Scratch. Not sure how long it's gonna be yet, but probably between 2 weeks and a month and a half - again, not sure how long yet. Life has been hard lately, and, while its getting a little better, I think I need to take a small break to recollect myself and do what's right for my mental health. I'm not leaving forever, I could never do that to you guys, but I need a break. There has been some...drama on Scratch that I'm trying to take a break from. No one has hurt me really bad or anything like that, but they have hurt my friends and I just need to take a step back to relieve stress. My home life is crazy right now, what with my dad healing from his pacemaker surgery and my mom going through chemo for her cancer. And it's stressing me out. They're doing well - My dad is healing well and my mom is responding alright to her treatment, but that doesn't take a lot of stress off me. I also have been battling strong depression and anxiety lately, to the point where it's hard for me to focus on school, sleep, and not zone out every five seconds. I need to figure out the root of my worries and sadness (probably my parents but it could be something else), and figure out a better way to deal with it. And I've been /really/ inactive lately. I need to be more active and not be underneath my computer all the time. Even if that's just taking a short walk every day, it'll still be better than sitting around all the time. And I'd like to try and improve my social skills. I am /severely/ introverted, to the point where it's scary for me to talk to a delivery driver bringing pizza. I don't mind being introverted, but I'd like to get to where it's not as severe. You might have noticed that I'm not posting as much lately. That's because I'm drowning in schoolwork. I need to catch up. Badly. Hopefully this break will help with this. As for my role plays, I apologize to anyone I role play with regularly. If my characters have seemed depressed lately, that's because they tend to reflect how I feel, whether I mean them to or not. I promise I'll reply and keep role playing with you when I get back, but it might be a bit. As for my book on my author account, Shadows of The Celestials, it will be continued when I return. Same goes for my new podcast/blog on one of my alts, Rise & Radiate. If you want to signup for my DMC, feel free to just remix the project while I'm gone! I'll check out your entry when I come back!
