Hi everyone! Iβve been meaning to provide an update on video progress, but have struggled to write one because this post is more on the personal side. Unfortunately, my Mephadow video wonβt be ready anytime soon. I apologize for the delay - I was genuinely confident that Iβd be able to have it uploaded by this week, but truthfully Iβve been struggling a lot with my depression and anxiety these past couple of months. Iβve also been sick these past few weeks and have been trying to recover from that as well.Β
I want to be transparent with you guys, but I also donβt want to worry any of you. My life is as good as it can be (barring the state of the world, politics and such), and I have a very strong support system. I can assure you that Iβm currently in therapy and also taking medication. Iβve been trying to be more consistent with my healthy habits like journaling, walking, etc. and those have also helped. Iβve also managed to get over my fear of losing my audience for not posting for a long timeβ¦ Which is something I struggled with quite a bit as the channel has grown.Β
Iβve done a lot of inner work and reflecting on these types of fears. Iβm at least happy to say that Iβve reached a point where Iβm content with this staying as a hobby rather than trying to be a full time content creator. The thing that matters to me the most is being able to finish what I started. I wonβt sacrifice my values or the quality of my work for the sake of staying βrelevantβ. I want to be able to look back on my life and be proud of the things that I make. So as of now Iβm just working at my own pace. With that said, I have no idea when the Mephadow video, or any of my other videos will be readyβ¦ But I wonβt give up. I will finish them all in due time.Β
I am sorry that things take longer, and that I fall short on my deadlines. I definitely get overzealous when I make a lot of progress in a short period of time and end up underestimating how long I can maintain that kind of output, as well as how long editing actually takes. Iβm trying to do better with properly estimating my progress and timelines. Thanks for reading! Iβm sorry that this was a downer update, but Iβm very grateful for your patience and support. It is not something I take for granted, so thank you again!
