it's been a good month and a bit since i've opened this blog. i've made a silent escape, yes, for much more time than usual, this time with a different reason:
i've completely burned out, from requests, from enstars, entirely.
there is little energy left in me for this fandom after a good year. it has been feeling more like a task rather than what i did for funโmore demand, more to do. i don't want to seem ungrateful, because i'm much more fortunate than some others in this regard, but the more demand, the less give-backโsomething-something, homework.
nevertheless, this community has done a lot for me !! as a person, as a writer, as everything. i'm grateful for all the kindness and friends i've met along the way. all the sweet comments and memories truly left an imprint on me, and i'm not exaggerating when i say that this experience shaped me positively. this blog sprung up in a very unfortunate time, and was my source of happiness for a much longer one. while i wish that things didn't turn out like this, you can't change the flow of time. it is what it is. i do think back on a lot of things with happiness, but if i were to go on like this, close my eyes and push through, i'd veil those happy times in dread and dissatisfaction.
now, this does not mean that i'm throwing this blog to the dogs and leaving, no. it's a place of many fond memories and i would die before losing it. many things that my friends and everyone helped me build, a little space of fantasy and comfort. i wouldn't trade this for anything, soโi won't be deleting it, and i'm not putting a definite no on writing here, because i may just come back with a little something-something every now and then.
i want to close this chapter peacefully, as bittersweet as it is, as many things i have laying around, as many more things i was looking forward to doing with everyone. this message will be put in my pinned comment until further notice, and i'll stick around for a little longer, to answer what i have in my inbox, and maybe what's to come in the next couple days.
the future is still uncertainโi may change my mind, i may come back with something else entirely, or i may not come back at all. nothing is certain, but i hope for a good outcome to this. and i hope that this decision is something that you can accept.
so, nowโthis feels bitter on my tongue. i'd never thought i'd say this, but just maybe we'll meet again, on a sunny day. โ
