Update: Because I feel I owe my readers and followers an explanation

Hello, all!

I know I said something about this before, but...

As it stands, I can't do that.

A bit of exposition... For a long time I feared certain emotions, especially sadness. In recent months I began to free myself from that fear. I started this blog as a way to further my progress in that struggle, and to explore things that interest me--video games, art, human expression, the emotions that connect us all.

But sometimes, I don't know how to feel anymore. Truth be told, the past year or so has proven one of the most confusing and difficult times of my life. Sometimes it feels like I've used up all of my emotions. I'd hoped writing this blog might help me heal. And it has helped me, so much. But I also realize that it's a challenge in itself, one I look forward to facing, but sometimes I'm just not up to it.

I'm not giving up. These dead spells are new and scary, but I need to get past them and absolutely will. I will continue to write for this blog at whatever pace I can. This isn't the end of anything, but I feel I should offer some information in case anyone ever wonders where I've been the past few days.

Thank you to everyone who's shown support for what I do here. Even if it doesn't seem like much, it means a lot to me.
