Hello
Added 2023-05-29 22:09:21 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. I find myself needing to extend my sincerest apologies to you all. Over the past few days, I have been noticeably absent and silent, having seemingly disappeared into thin air. I wish to provide some context for my sudden disappearance.
The past week has been a particularly tough one for me. I've been stuck in a rather dark place mentally and have spent the better part of these days unable to get out of bed. Depression is a monstrous creature that occasionally rears its ugly head, and I found myself lost in its labyrinth this time.
Nevertheless, I want to assure you all that even amid these trials, your support has been a beacon for me, reminding me of my obligations and my passion. I am deeply sorry for the disruption in content, and I regret any disappointment I may have caused. I am currently prioritising all the outstanding audios for Patreon, all patrons for the month of May will have access to all of these audios.
Moreover, those of you who have been looking forward to the livestreams, please note the first one is scheduled for Wednesday at 20:00 BST. The other two will follow soon after, with all May patrons granted access.
With the end of the month approaching, I want to remind anyone who may be considering discontinuing their support that now would be an optimal time to do so, before any charges are processed. I want to make it clear that I completely understand. Support should never be a burden or an obligation, and I value the wellbeing of each one of you as much as your patronage.
Once more, I'm sorry for the disappointment my unexpected absence caused. This journey is made up of both highs and lows, and your support during this low point has been invaluable to me. Please know that your patience, understanding, and kind words mean more to me than I can express.
Yours sincerely,
Orchid Audio

2023-06-01 23:05:50 +0000 UTCWe do not get disappointed when you vanish, we get worried... depression is a nasty bugger that sadly cannot be burned out by a burn out (and honestly, i haven't been able to stay up to date with your audios these last months anyways...)
