I appreciate you taking the time to write this in a very kind manner.
Believe it or not, but every single date I've announced was said with a *mostly* confident me behind it, ambitiously thinking I could finish it within that time. I know how crazy that sounds, especially considering it has almost been a year since the first delay (that one being my most ambitious one by far). This is completely my fault, and I don't mean to take any blame away from myself. I have this really bad tendency to always think I can finish something in a very short amount of time when in reality it takes me much longer.
Disappointing those who enjoy my work is one of the reasons why, like you said. But I realize now that ambitiously posting these dates is very counter intuitive since that only makes it worse, if anything, and that's very wrong of me to do.
Again, not to dispose of any blame here, but I'm very much a chronic procrastinator. On top of this I also tend to be a perfectionist, which really does not work well together. So to say this update could have been done way sooner is really just a given. The bigger issue is myself, thinking I can miraculously get myself past these things.
Also, don't worry about pressuring, I've noticed I work a lot better under pressure than without.
Either way, thank you for this comment and for keeping me in check. You're very much correct.
