An Update on my Life...

Okay, everyone.

The time has come to update you on my life once again. And gosh, it's not that good.

I have been mysteriously silent for the past five months on my channel. It should come as no surprise to you all that yes, it was mental health issues. Let me explain.

Around February is when I became very sad all of a sudden. Day after day, I would still feel sad (or depressed, I shall say). Over time, I lost the motivation to do YouTube content as a whole, and only updated my website to keep that up-to-date. I'm not going to go into every little detail here, because I don't want to share everything, and that's okay.

The past few months have been rough for me, but I can see things improving now as summer approaches and my academic year ends, but we'll see. 

I wanted to make a lot of videos for a long time now, but my mental health issues prevented me from having the motivation to do that. In the future, I want to do better. I want to stop being in the same old loop of having a resurrection of "mental health issues" every few months. It's not only tiring for me but also for my audience of 74 subscribers (thanks so much for this) that are leaving me because I upload a video, then all of a sudden, boom. I don't upload anymore. Not uploading all of a sudden is NOT how you succeed, and I know this. That just isn't it.

Okay, other news.

First, I decided to delay the release of the Alex and Savannah series trailer to late July. The reason is to give me time to get my stuff together and also to prepare the setting for the series. The actual series launch, however, has been delayed to sometime in September as a result.

Second, why I haven't been uploading on SeveredPlays? Because I wanted to do a Minecraft Let's Play series, but decided to wait until the Trails and Tales Update (1.20) comes out before I start the series.

Lastly, my website. I'm not sure if a lot of you are going to care about this, but my website is continuing to be updated, despite my mental health issues. My site is now on version 51 right now, and it hasn't been nine months since the launch of the site. In March, I also made a blog site to go along with my main site. My blog will be updated often with new posts featuring updates on my life, Fortnite and Minecraft maps, trivia, and more, so be sure to visit often and say hi!

Right now, I've started working on a couple of videos, and they should be out in a week or so. The Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Gameplay video comes in a couple of weeks from now, so stay tuned. I know this is a lot but stay with me here. I'm trying to improve my life and content moving forward, and I hope it stays that way. I love you all, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. It's going to be amazing! 

Oh, and one more thing. I'm not feeling well today, so progress on stuff today will be slower than usual. I had to miss school because of this.
