Hi everyone, It sucks for me to say this but I have to let you all know. I am taking a hiatus. And a real one this time, not just where I say I’m gonna take a break and come back after a week.
These past couple months, I have been dealing with a lot of stuff including my mentally abusive dad and other things revolving him.
He has made my life practically a living hell and it hurts to even be here anymore knowing I’ll have to spend another day with him.
Last night I committed again after a couple months of being thought free. After another failed, attempt, it really showed me that what’s going on in my home isn’t okay. It’s gotten to a point where I hate weekends because I have to spend a whole day with this man who is constantly on my head and ruining my families mood with a single comment.
So that is why I feel like leaving and taking a step back from writing will benefit me slightly so it’s not another thing on my mind.
From the bottom of my heart I wanna thank everyone who has been supporting me on here, it truly means a lot to me that people actually enjoy what I’m putting out there. I appreciate each and every single one of you, the ones who comment, the ones who send me sweet messages, the ones who reblog, literally everyone.
I’ve made very good friends on this app who I love so much and that I will miss while I’m on hiatus. Now, I am aware that there may be some questions regarding this, so if you are curious about anything at all, please message me privately. But these are the two main questions I feel like I should answer.
What about updates?
For my smau, there is pre-written chapters that will be queued up and posted. I’d feel way too bad if I left and didn’t continue the story. I will still be writing on the side, as it is something that helps me relax and not think about other things, but it won’t be one of my main focuses anymore.
How long will I be gone?
As of right now it’s undecided how long I’ll be. I definitely need time to recollect myself and figure out ways to better my mental health, but I assure you, I won’t be gone too long.
You could estimate maybe 4-5 weeks or a little less than two months, but with me, it’s never that easy to walk away from a community that I love, so don’t take any of these timeframes too seriously.
Again, if you have any other questions, I’d be happy to answer them.
Thank you all so much for an amazing run. I hope that when I come back, I’ll come back with good news.
I love you all so much, thank you for reading what I put out and thank you for all the support.
