TL/DR: I'm taking another break. Tragic, I know. With reach where it is, I think it's better to focus on getting ahead and come back in a more comfortable position to create and upload more consistently. Soft timeline is come back by March, but will be playing it by ear.

─── ⋆⁺‧₊ ☾ ₊‧⁺⋆ ───

Let me start by saying I’m okay. I am not burnt out and my mental health isn’t in trouble (though it’s definitely taken a hit at the time of writing this), but I’m not questioning my worth as a person or creator. I am still very much in love with making audios, and I plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.

However, I am going to take another break. Why? Because my reach sucks. Although it’s very frustrating knowing the work I put into audios and the quality of them and not seeing them reach people, I also know a lot of that is outside of my control. This is also why I feel like it’s okay for me to step back for a bit.

Audios take me a while to make. Between writing scripts, trying to find a good time to record, editing the audios, and personal things pulling at me, I’ve found it hard to stay consistent. And with my reach as small as it is right now, I don’t think it’s currently worth stressing myself out and scrambling every week.

So I will be taking time for myself to focus on getting ahead and setting a few things up. My goal is to get into a comfortable position by March, but I don’t want to hold myself to a hard deadline right now. So let’s say it’s a soft timeline. In the meantime, streams will still continue every week at the usual time: Thursdays at 6 pm PST. I won’t be on socials as much except to post the last of my old audios and to give the occasional update to let you know I’m doing okay. The V-Day exclusive audio will still be released, and the AMA celebration stream is still happening on Valentine’s Day—Saturday, Feb. 14.

I am so grateful for how patient you all have always been with me. I know I’m often hard on myself, but that’s because I know what I’m capable of and I want to do my best for you. But right now, that means stepping away for a bit to plan and get things in motion. I hope you wait for me, but I understand if you don’t. I’m excited for things I have planned, and I hope to share more experiences with you ❤️

I’m usually pretty on top of things. Would you like to be one of them? (Just kidding. I'm a train wreck, but at least I'm cute.)

✨ No audio this week, but personal audio comms officially open on Friday! Waitlist is currently available on VGen~
✨ Usual co-working stream on Tuesday & Lego Harry Potter on Thursday.

Don't forget to tell the people in your life how much you appreciate them, including yourself 💕

Sleep and rest continue to elude me. And if you're in the same boat, maybe this sleep aid and my streams will help.

✨ The 8 hour sleep aid goes public on YouTube
✨ Tuesday work stream with the webcam on and more Final Fantasy XIV on Thursday

I hope you can sleep well this week. I'll be dreaming of you 💕 

The Role for Hole collab event hosted by u/DepravedDescent on Reddit is live! You can find it on GWA or her profile page.

What kind of comms would you be interested in?

Finally in a place to do do weekly schedules again... but I forgot to post on here T.T
Feels like I can finally start working again.

✨ Collab audio with u/PHubNicoleRose for the Roll for Hole collab organized by u/DepravedDescent
✨ Tuesday work stream and Thursday Final Fantasy XIV stream

Remember to take things one day at a time. You've got this!

Last weekly schedule for a while.

I had hoped my neck and head would be better by now. Instead, it is Day 10 of this consistent headache and neck pain. Sometimes it veers into migraine territory; sometimes it's a sharp or throbbing pain when I move. So work has been extremely slow going.

✨ No audios until further notice.
✨ Streams will be inconsistent, depending on how bad the headache is that day/week.

Take care of yourselves. Don't forget to listen to your bodies 💕 

Another slower week, but that's okay. 

✨ No audio again this week. Will need to focus on other things, but I'm *planning* to have one out next week.
✨ Going to be completing (hopefully) the Lego Sauron build this week. Usual day, usual time—Thursday, 3 pm PST.

Don't let haters get to you. Take care of yourselves, little ones 💕

It's been an exhausting week(end), so we're taking it easy this week. Got lots to catch up and recover from. I am not an outdoor online girlfriend 😭 We're also going to pretend I posted this on time, on Sunday instead of today.

✨ No audio this week. Might not be one next week either, but we shall see~ 
✨ Sticking to the earlier stream schedule this week. And we're building the Sauron Lego set. I'm pretty excited.

Make sure you're hydrating and eating and resting up. Take care of yourselves, little loves 💕
