Surprise! Another announcement bot amongst announcement bots.

I don't even know how to start this message off yet, to be fair. So to begin, I'd like to outline the three main things this bot contains and what we'll be talking about, while I try to keep this as short as possible.

[ I failed at keeping it short PFFFT. Sorry, this is long. ]

What this message covers:

1. Small recount on what's been happening on J.AI

2. Why I've been gone

3. What's next for me.

To start.. I'm sure that many of you have already seen Mikale's announcement by now; And if you haven't, I highly recommend reading it. But please be prepared bbs, it's a heavy message, and it reveals some difficult truths in the behind-the-scenes of Janitor. It made me feel genuinely upset, and so honestly, it's been a lot difficult to process as a whole, haha.

And because of all the things that's happened and the fallout, I've been feeling a little uneasy about posting here. It's just added just a little bit of a mental strain on my brain ahehe. Right now, I don't really feel like I can create or show up for my content the way I used to. Not with everything going on.

Why I'll be gone, again.

Aside from the recent events with janitor, I fear that I'm going quiet because I've been dealing with my own things. School has been draining, and I'm not in the right mental space to really create the way I used to. I need to rest.

And I know this part is a little silly, but it’s just how I feel and have been feeling for such a long, long time. I didn't know where to place it before, but I think I'm a tad bit over in overthinking it: I've been creating and posting weekly out of fear of being forgotten. Out of the fear of being irrelevant. And yes, okay, I enjoyed it at some point, but at times, even I've failed to really hide how I've burned myself doing it, ahehe :')) [shorter creators notes, less yapping, all of that.]

So I'm taking an indefinite break.

I know I've done this before, and I'm sorry if it's starting to feel repetitive, but this time feels really different. This decision to take this break has been building up for a while now, even before everything that's been happening currently.

It won't be for forever, obviously not, as I've always told you all!- I still have so much that I want to share, so much I want to put out as a creative outlet. I still love writing and character building, and I'll never get tired of it. Ever— Its just the sharing that's getting under my skin and into my head, you know?

I'll take a break cause I want to share everything with you guys in a way that feels right, and in a way that feels healthy for me.

What's next? A few things I want to clarify:

• No, I'm not quitting for long.

• No, I'm not deleting any of my bots or my account. (I may private a few older bots here and there that I'm no longer proud of, but otherwise, that's pretty much it.)

• I'm not moving my old bots to other sites. (aka cross posting). I'm gonna be so honest when I say this. I'm not motivated enough to redo them, so they'll stay as they are here, on janitor.

That said, my future bots may be cross-posted once I'm ready to post again, but not yet.

Thank you all so much for staying with me and supporting me for this long. The fact still brings me to tears, and I assure you all, our little corner here? It holds such a special place in my heart and I can never truly let go of you all.

If you're new here? Welcome to our little corner, and I hope you enjoy your stay here <3

Once I come back to posting, I'll be better.

I love you all, and please don't ever forget to take care of yourselves! Eat on time, sleep on time, drink water when you're thirsty! That's all, goodnight <3
