I will be honest, I'm really not having the best of times since the pandemic started at all, and I'm not gonna bother anyone with that series of sob stories on my part.
But it's also come to my attention that I'm really, REALLY, starting to feel detached from this website as a whole. deviantArt's reputation itself has really only stagnated the past half-decade or so, and to add salt to the wound I realize that maybe I've forged more bad memories than good here. This site has completely lost any sense of community that it once had and every turn usually seems to be crawling with the worst.
It's something I'm too exhausted of, no matter how it presents itself over. and over. and over again. Doesn't matter what's involved.
I won't outright claim to be quitting, I cannot predict the future so if I come back for any reason that would equate to lying, and only provide further frustration to those actually concerned about me. I just want to say not to be surprised if I do take any kind of silent leave in the near future. I've had a fair run here, and it may very well be time to make my mark elsewhere.
I am also an adult, and need to get some life-priorities in order eventually, so I'm not in any position to make promises for much on the online world.
If anyone is saddened by this sudden revelation or change in pace, I understand, so I urge you to reach out and ask for other means of contact. There are several buttons on my page widget leading to my accounts on external sites, and you can also hit up My CuriousCat to ask for them as well. I will answer as timely as I possibly can.
Thank you dearly for sticking around as long as any of you have, it means a lot, and I hope all of you thrive best you can during these stressful times. Please take care of yourselves...
