Hey Angels ❤

Life is.. kicking my ass a lot lately. I've had a bunch of varying medical struggles, my mental health has tanked, a lot of personal things with regards to housing has gone down the tubes (still have a place, don't worry! Just unable to move somewhere better.) and today, Mum called me and let me know my Granddad was nearing the end of his battle with lymphatic cancer, and that I won't be able to see him again, for his own personal reasons I respect. They've given him a matter of days.

As you can imagine, I'm heartbroken, exhausted, beat down and just hopeless right now. I can't work, I can barely eat, sleep and shower when I should, and that was before I got the news today. So, I'm taking another step back while I prepare for the loss, and then grieve it when it's time. I've been in a rut due to my mental health, post-covid symptoms and other general illnesses taking advantage of my weakened immune system, but was still plodding along OK, however, I don't think I can do that anymore, for at least a little while.

I'm going out to my parents/sisters to be with my family so we can support each other, and I honestly don't know when I'll be back online. I'm likely not going to post at all, I'll work on art I owe and send WIPs via DM, but I just can't manage more than that at the moment. As always, refunds are available and I will be sending out messages to my clients so they can take that option if they'd like - as I say, I don't have a date I'll be back, or even a good guess, and I'm going to likely be very slow working. I appreciate how much love and support I get, but if you want a refund for ANY reason, I am happy to get the ball rolling, it is absolutely not taken personally ❤ This includes commissions and patreon rewards ^^

See you when I'm back, sending love and take care. Thank you for all you as a community have done for me over the last few months, I am feeling deeply regretful that things have played out this way so soon after my last break, but as you and I all know, you can't plan for these things, they just slap you in the face whenever they feel like it.

I love yall, and I'll miss yall ❤
