Well, I've never really done this before, but here goes...

Lately I've been a bit lackluster. Having a harder time finding enjoyment in things, uninspired, demotivated, etcetera. I guess I've just been going through a moody, depressed phase, everyone does.

I'm not going to elaborate much on my feelings, but I thought it would be best to give anyone interested a proper explanation for my absence. Due to my current emotional state, I'll be going on hiatus from skinning for a while. Just to be perfectly clear, this is NOT permanent. I don't know how long I'll be on break, it could be a week, or a month, but I will be coming back.

I'll be formally dropping out of any tournaments or contests I've joined. No matter how much I might want to participate, I just can't handle that kind of dedication or pressure right now. Unfortunately, this also means I most likely won't be joining skinfight this year...

I'm so sorry Night, and Glitch, I really had every intention of joining your tourneys... >~<.

PS: sorry about the lame butterfly pixel art, I was being lazy.

I'll still be checking my account frequently and occasionally replying to comments. I'll also be remaining active in the roleplay I joined. I just won't be posting anything for a while, until I get my inspiration back.

I don't want anyone else getting sad over my issues (I'm looking at you, Nightshade12190. Ahem) I'll be back to normal soon enough. I'm not really one to express my feelings, not even to people I know well, so I'm not going to elaborate on anything more than I already have. Just know that I'll be taking a break from skinning for an undetermined amount of time (definitely not forever, or even close).

With that I'm finished with my status update and explanation. As usual, have a great day or night wherever you may be. <3
Obviously I’m going to worry about your issues. What kind of psychotic bestie do you take me for? ;)

Like Glitch said, I think the butterfly gives off really magical vibes hehe :D at least, that was my first impression of it..

Also, I think what you said is very understandable, so take your time! I am sorry to hear you are going through it tho.. I know how that feels, but ofc everyone has it differently! take care and try to focus on little steps that you can do, because you don’t have to do big things all at once if that makes sense :p but I hope you feel better soon! <3

the butterfly really isn't bad, i love it <3 it looks like something from a fantasy world that you'd find in some magical crystal cave or something lol

as for what you're going through, i understand not wanting to share all the details, and that's perfectly fine. but i hope that, whatever it is, you can find the cause of what you're feeling. i know what it's like to feel the way you are, and it's not fun. but it doesn't last forever, which you probably already know.

also, don't worry about the tourney. i would rather you take care of yourself than try to do my tourney, which, if you really wanted to participate, just know there will be more contests and stuff in the future!

we'll all be patiently awaiting your return, Willow <33

The butterfly is true aura, hope things get better for you (depending on how long you’re absent I might be able to get a fanskin together)
