I totally understand. Atm I am not that active on Hio too for financial, health and stress reasons. I am still here but am only semi-active. Until things get figured out. Sucks. Real life SUCKS! But yeah. I am still here but just in a semi-active sense (which means I will post regularly in duels and things that have deadlines but I will only post in other threads whenever I get the time/muse to do so) until things settle. Thankfully, we are on the road to seeing how things will work out so let's hope it will work out. I already downsized my clubs to just 6 (tri-cook club, golden explorers club, mischief makers, drama club, mystical creatures and asian society club). You can let anyone else take over the clubs you're leaving. Can't wait to write with you and everyone else again though when things calm down a bit more. Real life sucks again I repeat. Primarily I will be focusing on duels, deadline threads, clubs and then individual/group threads (unless I get the muse to do random ones out of nowhere). I do love all the threads and fully intend on finishing all of them but it will be a little slow for a time.

I am entering testing/competition time, so I won't be active as usual... I'll still be around checking owls and maybe even a RP reply or two, but it will be very disrupted

@Joseph Sims I can't draw Astra yet Having to restart my computer multiple times a day for testing stops me from keeping my layers separate. I'll do it ASAP after testing finishes(1.5 weeks) or perhaps I'll procrastinate studying to draw-

I'll be more active in 2-3 weeks, I think! May is a hectic month-

Sorry to be posting here again so quickly after last time without having accomplished anything during the time between but...

This weeks REALLY busy. I should have posted this a couple days ago actually. I've had something every day this week and since Tuesday I've been away from my house till dinner time. Today I had like 10 minutes of free time from when I left the house to 9pm. This will continue through Sunday.

Also, our end of year tests are coming up and with so many extracurriculars this week I'm falling behind on homework so I might not be able to post much for a few weeks. I will still try to get out posts whenever I have free time though. I'm sure a lot of people are in a similar boat with tests

I honestly do not know when I would be back. Hopefully, before May ends. I have just decided to prioritise my mental health after neglecting it for so, so long. Things have turned for the worse, I fear, as I always find myself crying whilst walking home, tired from my work that I harboured deep resentment for, before going to school. The constant juggle of activities is draining me to bits. At first I thought I could handle it, as I actually adore being busy—it kept my mind off things that constantly haunt me to this day.

This decision is rooted in the awareness that I kept losing my memories. I have lost track of time. I kept mumbling, "Whatever happened today?" as I literally could not remember. I find this a very serious issue, as my course in uni involves heavy memorisation of large texts. I kept staring into space, my mind blank, with tears in my eyes. I am so tired. I feel like I am doing things for the sake of doing things and finishing it for the day. I lash out at people nowadays; talking with anyone ignites something in me—constant anger, the fear of wasting time. I am just so angry at everything. I feel numb most of the time, then anger, and then my face would crumple at the urge of crying my heart out.

So, I was like, "Well, that isn't normal," but I ignored it, as I cannot afford to be mentally unstable or even slack. Dreams and achievements are expected of me. If I snuff myself out because of exhaustion, then it does not really matter. That would only mean that I failed to fulfil my role. But goodness, if being imprisoned in my mind is not hell, then I do not know what it would be like. Realising that I have lost that whimsical little girl, my past self, who only likes drawing and writing, who believed in unicorns riding rainbows and made her own paper dolls, I found myself making an appointment with a therapist and is already scheduled next week.

I am going to put myself first. I am tired of attempting to please my parents to no avail. They could have a dead daughter if they so desire. But I believe that my very self does not deserve to be resented, especially by me. I deserve to live too. I am meant to live and enjoy what life could offer.

So yeah, I will come back—preferably in May—to continue Aurelia's journey. I have so much planned for this girl, and she's easier to write since she mirrored me and my life, somewhat.



I posted this for awareness. Prioritise your mental health! You guys will see me in manhwa sites, leaving comments as I also picked up that hobby again as a form of self-care.

*offers a hug* Hi Aurelia! As someone who constantly struggles in the mental health department, I agree that putting yourself first and getting the help you need is so very important. Your thoughts, needs, and desires are important. You matter.

I hope your mental health improves for you. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot. If you ever need someone else to talk to, don’t be afraid to reach out.
