Update
Hi, everyone, it's MahouGelato, aka HyperGelato. As you can probably tell, I deleted my original Tumblr account. I felt it was unfair to just delete it and then come back without explaining why, so...
I'll be perfectly honest; things have been super rough for me irl atm. Mentally, I've been feeling incredibly overwhelmed and burned out from a lot of things, things I don't want to get into. And as someone who is incredibly hard on herself, things really haven't been easy. I've mostly just been trying to destress as much as I can and figure things out.
And during all this, I was increasingly putting pressure on myself to do more art, to continue my comics and fanfics. I wanted to continue them so badly. I had all the ideas in my head. I just had zero energy to do it. And this just made me super frustrated and even more burnt out.
Deleting my tumblr account wasn't something I thought about before doing it. It was something i did when I was incredibly mentally exhausted, out of impulse during a breakdown.
In that moment, I felt like I just needed to get rid of my tumblr, to not think about at all. Because of all the pressure I was putting on myself, I wasn't enjoying doing my art as much anymore. I was also not happy with my current skills and felt I wasn't good enough.
I do regret deleting my tumblr, and I'm sorry to everyone that was following me for just leaving without saying anything. I think I just desperately needed a break.
Going forward, when I do return to making art, I hope to go in with a different mindset so I don't get this burnt out again. I want to be able to enjoy what i create again without getting too anxious about if it looks good enough or not, or not being able to finish it as soon as I want. I'll just create what I feel like creating and go at my own pace. I do eventually want to continue the Sonic in Wonderland comic and other stuff... it's just that at the moment, I don't know when that will be.
For everyone who's followed and supported me, thank you. I've made many good friends and mutuals on here, and I appreciate all of you.
