Due to ongoing personal, family, and mental health challenges, I’ve made the difficult decision to pause all articles and significantly reduce my involvement in other activities for the time being. This is not a choice I made lightly, as I deeply care about the work I do and the people I connect with. However, after a lot of reflection, I’ve come to recognise the importance of prioritising my well-being and creating space to rest, recover, and regroup.​

​

Lately, things have been especially difficult. My parents are going through a divorce, and as anyone who’s experienced something similar might understand, it’s emotionally exhausting and deeply unsettling. It’s been affecting my home environment, my focus, and my ability to stay grounded. On top of that, my social life has been struggling too. I’ve been feeling disconnected, isolated, and honestly just worn down from trying to keep up appearances or maintain energy I simply don’t have right now.

​

I believe that being honest about these struggles is important, and I hope that stepping back now will allow me to return with more clarity, energy, and a healthier mindset in the future. I’ve always tried to push through things quietly, but I’ve come to realise that rest isn’t a weakness, it’s necessary. And right now, I need to give myself the time and space to process everything and care for my mental health without the added pressure of being constantly active or productive.

If you wish to contact me meanwhile, please only do so via Discord or email, I won't be replying on other platforms since I have disabled most of them on my phone and laptop.
Please contact either Staria (staria_nature) or CBFS gamer (cbfsgamer) if I'm not replying.

​

Thank you to everyone who has supported me up until this point—it means more than I can express. I ask for your understanding and patience during this time, and I look forward to reconnecting when I’m in a better place to fully engage again.

​

Take care of yourselves, too.
