OBLIGATORY I’M STILL ALIVE POST
Ah shit, it happened again. So, uhhh...anyone still here? If you are, then hello! Kirishimod is still alive and well. I realize it’s been over a year of radio silence, but I’ve decided to stop using Twitter for the sake of my mental health and come back to Tumblr (but not immediately). Anyway, for those curious, here’s the abridged version of what’s been going on:
2021 was...pretty shit. In a “wow, 2020 wasn’t actually that bad” kinda way. Work put me through the wringer and was seriously affecting me mentally, and to top it off, I got COVID literally on Christmas Day, almost like 2021 giving me a final middle finger on its way out. But the good news is 2022 has been a pretty good year for me personally. I don’t wanna say it’s my best year per se, since sometimes my workload becomes too much to bear, but I’ve been seeing a lot of positive changes in my life. To sum up: I had my first vacation in 2 1/2 years, I finally found an apartment where I can afford to pay the rent by myself in full, and I’m finally in my last semester as an undergrad. All that while working full time and planning my stereotypical college grad globetrot (which I think will be relatively safe to do once 2023 rolls around). So, the question remains: what does that mean for this blog?
Basically, it means that any updates are gonna have to keep waiting. School is top priority right now, and my final isn’t until mid-December, so at the absolute earliest, you can expect updates by then. I just thought I’d let you guys know now since I just got back into Tumblr. I do have one last confession to make, however: I’m no longer invested in MHA as a series, and honestly, I haven’t been for a long time. Those of you reading the manga probably agree with me when I say this ongoing arc has been dragging on for too long now. This has also been a factor in the lack of regular updates. But, that being said, I do hope to get back to this project after more pressing matters have been dealt with. I hope you all are doing well, and as always, stay sturdy!
