Hey hey NGs!
I hope these past couple of months have been a great start to your 2024. :) I missed you all, and I feel it is about time to answer this question that I have got a few times these past weeks, though please keep in mind that due to my own privacy values, I will only keep things to a comfortable minimum in this discussion.
So, where have I been?
Well now. Where do I begin? the start of 2024 was a blast at first, especially considering I released my end of year song, my album is one quarter of the way through, and things have been pretty smooth despite health concerns, and a few events that came a little later that brought a lot of my creativity to a standstill. Those events I will now discuss:
Firstly, the start of February was a complete trainwreck for me. My mental health came to a crash, I was relapsing again on my eating disorder, and things were getting complicated for me when it came down to balancing my burdens with my work. Then, a huge blow came at the end weeks of the month to the family...
Which leads me to the second event, which is the sudden and tragic hospitalisation then loss of a family member (by engagement) that had taken a huge toll on me, and most especially Sky, since it is their immediate family member. We have been taking a huge step back from a lot of things that otherwise have taken up a lot of our mental load due to bereavement, and that includes with me; not uploading the new album tracks, or being offline for days at a time. Note: We kindly ask that you do not pry, or ask about this fresh and delicate situation. We do not take kindly to anyone trying to get more of our private life out of us, and quite frankly; even this feels like too much.
Which then brings me to the last horseman of the issue-- I am burnt out. And hit with a massive creators block. Depression and a bunch of other things considered has been the most largest contributing factor to it, but I am in need of a creative recharge, and come April, I will be back and far more motivated. I just need to take a little break, and give myself the time to breathe a little, see the world a little, touch some grass, drink water, etc.
So, in conclusion, this means that until April, there will not be very much going on here on my page. If you want to unfan me for this, you can, I won't stop you. But I really just need some time with my partners and myself, and a moment to pull myself together. I hope you guys can be patient, gentle, and understanding of this all, and I hope to see your faces again during or after the spring break season. <3
