I just need a rest.

Don't think too badly that I'm not here.

I'm trying my best.

There's nothing wrong and nothing to fear.

I just need a rest.

I'm taking a break from the virtual world.

I'm losing my zest.

I need to recharge, let this tightness unfurl.

I just need a rest.

Some of you may have noticed that I've not been on here as much lately. I am weary and there are many contributing factors. Vocal is and isn't one of them: I love the opportunities that this place affords me and I love the people I interact with - but the AI, the fakery and the plagiarism get me down. I need to escape it until I feel comfortable to deal with it again but I miss you, readers, friends.

I need a rest and so, I am taking one. Back soon. Don't think too badly of me.
