A Departure
Hello everyone, it's me, Alice. Some may have been noticing that I'm a lot a less active lately. I got a new job! I've been unemployed for almost a year, and this new job should be a new turning point. I'm happy with it... for the most part so far. It's a long commute, I'm not a fan, but I'll eventually get WFH privileges and then it will be okay ^^ Some may have also noticed... I'm not using this one/dollspeak. It hurts me to say it but, I need to step away from doll stuff for a while. I've met so many lovely, amazing, and wonderful people and non-people from this account, and my interactions amongst Empty Spaces and adjacent communities. I'm grateful to know each and everyone of you. You've improved my life in so many ways that I can't even count. But even with the new life situation, my mental health has been taking hit after hit after hit. And being a doll has started becoming a painful crutch that I can no longer fulfill and maintain. I used to be able to be a doll, or at least, pretend to be one, casually. Little effort, a fun new way to talk and engage with people (and other dolls). But it became more and more, and I wanted more and more, and I couldn't sustain that. With more potential life shakeups in the future expected, I think it's for the best that... I bring a close to this chapter. I'm going to try therapy again. When I can. I don't know if dolls will come up among the laundry list of other things I need help with, but... maybe after everything settles, I can go back to being this one. Even a little bit. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this account and my love of dolls. Every mutual, every chat, every follower, every random reblog and like of my posts on here has brought me immense joy. I didn't really even know all that much about dolls when I started this account, let alone that I could enjoy being one. It's thanks to all of you that I got to feel a happiness like this that I would have never felt otherwise. Thank you. I love you all.
I'll hopefully be able to come back. Someday. If you want to reach out and talk, I'll try to monitor my DMs periodically. Mutuals can just ask for my discord. Sincerely, Alice
