Hi there. First, I want to say thank you for trusting me enough to reach out—it takes a lot of courage to ask for help when you're struggling. While I am a therapist, I'm sorry to say that I'm not able to provide counseling, advice, or crisis support through Tumblr. My blog is just a space for general education. However, I really want to make sure you get the dedicated support you deserve. Please look into or find someone who can be there for you properly.

hey everyone!

i know i’ve been gone for almost a month now. i took a little hiatus because life became really busy with work, and honestly, i just needed time to recuperate and clear my mind a bit. tumblr and theme-making has always been something i genuinely enjoy, so stepping away for a while felt strange, but i think the break was really needed for me creatively and personally.

during my time away, i kept thinking about the things i wanted to improve and the ideas i wanted to revisit. because of that, i’m currently remaking and refreshing a lot of my older themes little by little. i’m taking my time with them, but i’m really excited to give them new life again.

for now, page commissions are still open.

(i’ll only be accepting page commissions at the moment while i slowly settle back into creating.)

also… i made a new desktop theme to symbolize this return — something that reflects a more refreshed and calmer version of me creatively.

thank you so much for staying around even during my inactivity. genuinely grateful for all the support, messages, and people still using my themes despite everything.

more updates soon!!

Hi everyone. 🌸

I’m writing this to let you know that I will be taking a hiatus from Tumblr and all of my other social media platforms for a while.

As much as I love this space and creating themes for you all, I’ve realized that I need to unplug and really prioritize my mental health right now. There is no set return date—I'm just going to take whatever time I need to rest, heal, and get my energy back.

While I’m away:

✦ My themes will remain completely available and accessible over on my GitHub.

✦ To reach me, you can still drop me a message on Discord at @whereinmnl.

Thank you so much for your ongoing patience, support, and understanding. I appreciate this community more than you know.

See you when I'm ready. Please take care of yourselves!

Wanted to share that I’ve been playing "BEAUTIFUL" by TREASURE nonstop because it’s basically a huge wholesome vibe that feels like a warm hug or a really pretty sunrise. I love how it starts out chill and acoustic but then builds up into this epic, emotional chorus that makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.

Since it was an ending theme for the anime Black Clover, it gives me that main character energy every time I listen to it.
