Colored Comms

Two colored comms from this previous batch!

Hey everyone. Posting this as a programmed post to say I'll be back soon, but I wanna take this time to explain to those interested what is happening to me and why I needed this break that I am currently on.

I won't bother you with too many details; suffice to say I have been trying to do more than I can on many fronts - my art, my relationship, my friendships, my studies - and a couple of days ago I had what could be described as a panic attack.

I haven't had a lot of those, but I did have them in the past. They usually came from more extreme situations, but this was a panic attack as I was lying in bed, trying to sleep - pulse got quicker, everything felt far away and I felt I needed to escape something that wasn't there. It escalated from there and I won't go much into it, but it's a sign that I needed to slow down and give myself a break from everything I could.

So I paused everything - work, studies, gatherings - and just stayed home with my GF, who surprised me by being very supportive without really understanding what was happening (she usually gets frustrated and doesn't help much if she doesn't understand the situation).

I am feeling considerably better. My brain is even telling me I could start being productive again, but I am forcing myself to keep everything to the bare minimum or not bother with it at all. I set a date - 26th of December - to slowly resume my routine, but until then I will be very quiet and reserved and I just wanted you all to know I am sorry about this, but I have to take care of myself... As many of you keep telling me, might I add.

So thank you. Thank you for sticking around, thanks for loving my art and helping me do more of what I do. I have one more programmed post for Christmas morning, and then I'll be back posting here and engaging on discord before the end of the year.

Take care, and see you all soon.
