Where's Mana!

[[TL;DR - I am terrible at splitting my attention between demanding RL events and online presence T^T The last of a string of major Things I Have to Deal With™ should be resolved this weekend so I'll be able to go back to being a normally functioning human being afterwards

 (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و ]]  

AAhhhhh. First off thank you guys for being patient with me while I keep cutting in and out. I'm just.. not the greatest at regulating my time when things happen that disrupt my day-to-day schedule (understatement). 

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm here, still kickin! The Real World(hnngh) has been keeping me completely off kilter for going on an uncomfortably long time.

I've never been one to broadcast every detail of my RL problems, though I know I should be better at keeping you all informed if something big happens. I kinda think you guys get to read enough of that online in general, especially within our particular corner of the internet. I think sometimes the amount of public lamenting over the cruelties of life gets to be a bit overwhelming- there are just so many people these days that choose to share their burdens publicly (heck I'm totally understanding of this btw, I am also in agreement that sharing your troubles with your friends helps lighten the load!) But I try not to add to that if possible ;v;7 I just want to spread good vibes man >A<

Suffice to say I've been struggling lately x_x Thankfully though, it's been an incremental return to normalcy. This weekend should mark the last major hiccup that's been messing up my schedule and causing my stress and blood pressure to skyrocket. After that's settled things should start to calm down again and I'll be able to actually get things back into some form of order.

.. I do want to mention one of the things that has been occupying my time is that I'll be getting married in December ;u; <33 It's been a while in coming but again I fell into the fear of oversharing so only a few people have heard me mention it xD /ducks.

I was hoping I'd have had more time to work during this last period of craziness, but I've just been in a really unfortunate string of one-off DEMAND ALL YOUR ATTENTION happenings. It's a fluke, but still I know I need to be better about keeping these things transparent, so thank you everyone that's still here, I can't tell you how comforting it is ; ;,

I know it's scary when an artist goes silent, but I want to make sure you all know that I will always be around <3 So no fear of me disappearing into the winds never to be seen again. Please look forward to more regular updates coming in the following weeks!

Thank you again!
