so, i have tried really hard not to have to do this, and i wish i could have caught up on all my threads first, but i think it's just necessary for me right now.

school has been exhausting, and now that i'm on the other end of it, i feel very depressed kind of out of the blue. additionally, my confidence in my writing here has been been deteriorating, and i don't feel i quite fit in as much as i did at one time maybe. i don't really know how to describe why or how in an open setting, but i do love all of you.

i will be around to make occasional posts in order to hopefully maintain lulu's canon positions, and to hopefully keep up with my ships / like-ships, but all other posts will likely be very scarce. i'm sorry to all of my thread partners and friends. i will be back, i promise. i think i just need a few weeks.

sometimes you just need a break after an intense event/period/etc.! i don't think you're not fitting in- but that may just be a self-perceived side effect of having been so busy and not being around as much. no worries!

take your time to rest so you avoid the burnout! both for school and for creative hobbies. \o/ see you around!

you may be right! it also may be that the member count is expanding all the time and i do a pretty poor job at keeping up with meeting new people. could be many things. a lot of it is likely just me.

after admitting all this, i honestly feel pretty awkward, so if i'm scarce on disc too that's why. ty all for understanding! <3

take a good break, mad! you deserve it after busting your butt!

and i just want to reassure that you're not the only one who gets those feelings of not fitting in and waning confidence in writing. i know i get them. i think it's one of those things most of us creatives experience (even if we don't talk about them!)

but you're an amazing writer and i know a lot of people here think you're awesome/love writing with you.

be kind to yourself. take some time to rest. we're not going anywhere! <3

i feel like we've all been there, at least once, when it comes to writing. it's an unfortunate side effect of having something creative as a hobbie (no matter how much you love it, burn out is a thing). take the time to rest and maybe give yourself the opportunity to do other things you like in the meanwhile.

we'll all be here whenever you come back :) speaking for myself, i can say that you're one of my favorite people to rp with (even if it takes me a while to reply whoops) and it genuinely always makes me excited whenever i get a post from you - and, like myself, loads of other people here feel the same way.

take care of yourself, mad! <3
