Hey everyone, hope all is well!
I'm doing alright, still taking it easy and recovering. I've been sleeping, hanging out with friends, going outside, and working out (though I almost threw up yesterday ;w;) Also, I found a new place, and I'm preparing to move soon! So... it's been busy, even though it hasn't been busy xD Overall, I'm really glad I was able to take this extended break to help get my life back in order :)
For my health: I've been trying to take my mind off of unOrdinary to decompress. I think the last year took way more out of me than I expected. It's been 2 months, and I'm still feeling pretty burnt out from work. And unfortunately, the same chest, neck, and wrist pains from before are still around. I hope they go away eventually, and I'll try my best to improve!
For preparation: Last week I reread season 2 and gained some motivation through doing that. I've been watching some animes and dramas to get me back into the groove, and I've done some writing since. I really want to take my time and not push myself as much as I did last year. I know how many exciting things are coming, so I want to be writing at 100%!
Overall, the biggest lesson I learned is that self-care is important. I know it seems like common sense, but I think being in the thick of all this work and pressure made it hard for me to realize. Last year, a majority of the time I prioritize unOrdinary over myself, and that's why I'm having to deal with these consequences now. I want to be able to tell myself it's okay to take breaks when I need them.
For my goals: I'd like to expand my unOrdinary team, be more interactive with you guys, draw and write more side content, and be able to sleep, eat, and rest better!
Thanks for reading my long rant :D

In other news:
I got the June prints in the mail and will be signing and sending these off soon :)
I still haven't had much time to work on lore, so big apologies for that. Once I get my brain back into gear and get back into work-mode, I promise I'll have plenty for you!

Thank you for being here and allowing me to take this break! UnOrdinary wouldn't be where it is today if not for your support, and I'm forever grateful to everyone! Please stay safe and take care of yourselves! I'll be seeing you soon!
Love, uru<3
