hey all you with the cute names, 

i LOVE doing these but they are really hard for me to focus on and i keep forgetting about this blog (oops). i’m currently seeking diagnosis for adhd which you can read more about on my main blog @thebookishdragon

i still get daily name requests so i wanted to let you guys know what’s going on & reassure you i haven’t abandoned this, it’s just tough for me. 

shoutout to all the sweethearts who have been submitting their names with sweet messages or good manners, and shoutout to all of you who submit just a name and then send me a message like ‘omg i just saw the post about sending only names and i’m really sorry!’ <3 <3
