~April 2025 Update~
🕑 Added 2025-04-04 00:24:08 +0000 UTCHello hello everyone! I just wanted to pop in and give you all an update about how I'm doing and everything that's been going on!
I know I've been quieter this past month than I have been in a while, and there are a couple of reasons for that.
First and foremost, I'm moving! I got everything finalized and I'm going to be spending this month moving my stuff from my current place to my new place! The entire process has been a whirlwind and a half, and I know it's going to keep being that because moving is just a pain!
Secondly, the noise situation at my current apartment has gotten completely and utterly ridiculous, even more so than in the past. The constant noise from traffic, horrible neighbors, animals, screaming children etc, etc, has made it so that it is almost impossible to record anything without loud noises interrupting after 5:30 in the morning. Genuinely it is such constant noise and traffic that it's one of the main reasons that I decided to move! Everything takes about three times longer than it should, and that on top of looking for a place to move, packing, working a part time job, burnout and executive dysfunction it's made it incredibly hard to record/create audios.
But I'm very hopeful for the future! This new place I'm moving to has less neighbors and is in a quieter area of town, so I'm hoping that I won't have to wake up at 3am just to get recording done in some semblance of silence!
I really quite desperately want to get back to making audios/working on commissions in a more timely manner, and I worked really hard to try to find a place to live that will be conducive to that, as well as help my mental health overall.
That being said, I believe this month might also be difficult for me to record beyond just the noise, as the issues of when to move my recording equipment come into the picture. I do not have a car, so all of my moving of things has to be coordinated between friends helping me and me renting a moving truck. I'm currently stuck on whether I should hold out and move my recording equipment last so that I have immediate access to it longer, or if I should move it sooner rather than later and set up my new—quieter—recording space. My hesitance to immediately move my equipment mostly comes from the fact that I'll then have to take public transit to get to my new place any time I want to try to go record something, which in the grand scheme of things isn't too much of a chore, if I wasn't already going to be busy out of my mind packing up everything and taking care of other life obligations.
I don't quite know what the answer will be, and I hate to say that this month I'll also be quiet, because so many of you new and old have been so amazing and supportive throughout my entire journey of struggles and burnout that I don't want to disappoint people or have it seem like I've been just taking your money and running (things my anxiety brain like to constantly tell me). I want to get back to a place where I can create with comfort and relative ease, because I desperately miss it and crave it.
I know this is long as most of my updates are because I like to prattle on, but if it does turn out that circumstances lead to me not being able to get out a lot of audios this month, I apologize in advance and thank you all—as always—for your patience and your support. I appreciate it more than you could ever all know, and I hope that this move will bring on a new chapter where I can find more joy in creation without it being influenced by forces I can't control.
I'm so thankful to you all 💚💚💚

I figured that was what was happening. Take the time you need to set everything up, I'll be here in the meantime, supporting as much as I can 💕
