the comings and goings of a small storm

hey friends! i figured i make one of these so i didn't end up cluttering the board haha.

my stress levels have kinda been skyrocketing recently due to issues i won't bore you guys with, so i thought it'd be a good idea to get away from the computer a bit. one, because stress really kills my muse, and i feel terrible flaunting my presence in the cbox when i'm not really doing much in terms of roleplaying. two, because i want to try refreshing myself by catching up on reading, exercising, baking, etc., which i tend not to have time for nowadays usually due to school but also because i'm spending a large portion of my free time either on-site or sleeping off the fact that i stay up way too late to stay on-site.

long story short, i'm taking a little break. it hopefully shouldn't take too long, a week maybe, for me to start feeling the muse flow again, but i'll be posting updates on how i'm feeling with that here. that being said, i'll try to pop in every so often, either in the cbox or on discord! also, don't hesitate to pm me if you come up with any plot ideas for my characters- maybe that'll help me get in the mood for replies again lol

i really apologize to my rp partners- i feel terrible as it is with my sporatic reply rate- and everyone for this, but. idk. i've just been feeling super listless, and i'm looking to break out of that asap.

thanks guys!!! it's been a few more days than i thought it would take for me to muster the courage to get back on, so sorry about that ^^;

just as quick update, my stress is still being super annoying. i'm the type that doesn't outwardly show how stressed i am while just flailing listlessly on the inside haha. the whole taking a short break idea hasn't really helped my motivation, and now i just feel more guilt for taking so long to revive myself and, now, being unable to have good news to tell you friends.

i really, really don't want to say it, and in fact, i feel terrible even considering it, but i have to go on a little hiatus for a while. i feel absolutely terrible about it, yes, but i feel even worse leaving things in the air and having my rp partners expecting posts, so here it is. i'll try to pop in every so often- i know i didn't do that earlier ^^;-, but otherwise, i'm taking a somewhat more permanent break. not like, completely permanent, as i do hope to return stronger than ever, but more concrete than just 'oh i'll be away for a weekish'.

this doesn't mean absolute radio silence! don't hesitate to pm me even if you just want to talk, and i'll try to be more talkative on discord too. i'm super, super sorry, and i don't like letting you all down like this, but the words just. aren't flowing. at all.


~sends everyone hugs and cuddles and gentle flailing from the bottom of my heart~

after quite a while away- nearly a full year ;;;; - i'm somewhat back??? i'm trying to get back into the swing of things, so i'll only have Cassie and maybe another new girl to write with, at least until i believe i can handle more than that. i'll be considerably quieter as well, especially when spring semester starts up, but i should be back for the foreseeable future~

i missed this place too much to really abandon it, so here i am, a year later. feel free to throw tomatoes of shame at me for my disappearance
