It definitely gave me some warm fuzzy goodness ^-^ so thank you again :3

I mean, I do sometimes experience burnout, but it's usually just my mental health being crappy in general or something else that's happened in my personal life that causes it rather than working on projects x3 I know I kinda do spend an unhealthy amount of time working on my projects cos it's been pointed out to me by family, friends, and my therapist xD In her words "It's not normal to spend 13+ hours a day working, even if it is a hobby..." >.<

I just struggle to manage my time because when I try to step back and play stuff, I feel like I should be using that time to make stuff instead T_T I'm trying harder to relax during the evenings more, haha. Even though I'd actually rather only watch like 1 episode of something with my family and then go back to working on projects xD I'm not really the type to binge-watch stuff cos I get too restless, haha. And I don't tend to work on projects over the weekend unless I'm participating in a jam with a tight deadline.

Buuuuut... I do indeed drink a hell of a lot of coffee xD I wish I had a double cos then I could work on 2 projects at once, hehe. Though, my double would probably disobey me and run off somewhere >.>

I mean, I've discovered that while the amount of time I spend on projects might not exactly be the healthiest, it's absolutely good for my mental health in general having something to focus on :3 But yeah, I'll just keep going no matter what. And every time I get a lovely comment, it's like getting a little rocket boost :D

Hugs back from the UK ^-^

I also get restless when I watch too much TV, lol. It's odd having depression and anxiety, because you simultaneously want to do lots and nothing, all at once. I totally understand wanting to have your focus somewhere else. Honestly, I think it's pretty impressive that you're so dedicated. As long as you're keeping yourself healthy! :)

(Btw I'm also a coffee fiend, it's how I get through most of my college load. If you like somewhat bitter coffee, getting a cold brew with a shot of espresso has always been my go-to!)

Best of luck, my friend from across the pond!

Haha, yeah, it is a weird one! Usually, I feel more like I wanna do lots, and if I don't, I feel ridiculously guilty, so that sorta helps kick m butt into gear a lot of the time x3 Other times though, I just feel utterly hopeless >.< When I'm not participating in jams, I certainly try to maintain a degree of physical fitness by exercising daily + eating relatively healthy. That kinda just goes out the window during jam crunch time though, which is bad x3

Since the pandemic though, my dad and I have sorta agreed that we need to have more weekends away and stuff together just to get out and see more of the country, so we've arranged little trips here and there every few months or so, so that we've got stuff to look forward to that also gives us a break from the daily grind :3

Hehe, all hail the might coffee :D I don't mind bitter coffee! I usually have mine kinda mellow, but generally, I'll drink any sorta coffee that's available xD Cold brews in summer are heavenly though! I remember the first time I found a place that said they did a cold brew mocha, but they also let you add syrup of your choice, so I tried one with hazelnut syrup and it tasted like icy Nutella x3 So good!

Thank youuuu ^-^ And to you too!
