#*hiatus

hi everybody, hope you're doing well!

i honestly wanted to stay around for a bit longer to get things done on both my accounts, but unfortunately, since the past couple of weeks, i've been having major health complications and the cold weather is only making my chronic illnesses worse, recovery has been tough and i can't predict when i'll get better.

with constant visits to the hospital and appointments and doing medical tests and taking medicines as well as studying for uni admissions, i am left with very little time and effort at the end of the day to do anything productive or be social. i genuinely want to reply to rp threads and chat with my friends, but it's been a struggle to do anything and pulling all nighters just to catch up is more detrimental for me than helpful.

i want to write and talk with you, i want to be mutuals with you, and i love hearing you and your ideas out, i care about you and your muses. i am not leaving anybody on read on purpose, and i genuinely don't want to be wasting your time, i fully appreciate the things you write for me, and i want to be able to give you replies that respect that effort. it's only that being consistently present is a challenge for me especially at this time of the year given my circumstances.

i am declaring a hiatus from november to january, as i'll be majorly busy these three months anyway when i'll be giving my exams and applying for universities. i'll likely be fully free in february. healthwise, it will bounce up and down, i've accepted that this is my new normal now, but i hope that i will get better from my current issues soon so it's more manageable.

the hiatus is only a preventive measure, honestly, since i really can't fully predict — i could come back in december, i could come back in april, it really depends.

but what i truly mean by a hiatus is that, i will be putting replies — both roleplays and ooc messages — on the back burner to give myself less stress as i handle other things. i will be online on both my accounts periodically to check my notifications, post on the dash, and maybe write a couple of replies, you might see me, but i'm likely not fully present, 9/10 times i'm out of it.

if the slow replies or inactivity bother you, then ... that's understandable.

so sorry for the lengthy message, i just genuinely have been feeling bad about not being able to catch up with most of you, and i want to stress that i am not trying to ignore or prioritise anybody less. i am not quitting roleplaying, if anything, i think a break could help me to bounce back better since i am bad at working under stress. that's all!
