Hey everyone,

As the title suggests, I'll be slowing down on the development side of things. Heck, I've not really done any coding nor 3D modeling since last Monday but I thought I'd explain everything. I'll warn you now, there a good and bad side so I'll categorize them.

Good side: Lo and behold, I've been hanging out with friends which has honestly brought a lot of exercise. We've been playing baseball, hiking, and have gone swimming three times because that's what living in Ohio is like. This has become more common when a friend moved closer to me and two other friends and it's also gotten better because I have just gotten my drivers license last Wednesday. Now, I would've started my new job today but it got delayed due to an issue where I didn't get my drug test results back which I needed because I take ADHD meds, medically prescribed, but I had to prove the prescription if that makes sense. TLDR: It's been something but hey, my pay will probably support making my games.

Bad side: I will be honest, this has become a very personal situation I've been dealing with since about half a year now regarding a former "best friend" trying to worm his way back to being friends with me. I will be referring to him as "him" or "he" so I don't give his name out. It has gotten to the point of borderline harassment of him contacting me through my friends and my own mother. He even tried having friends lure me out to a hangout so he could ambush me to talk when I told him never to speak to me again. TLDR: I've told him what he did, I gave him a list of things he did that drew me away but he keeps playing victim and being in denial to the point that he's basically delusional and I am burnt out mentally to the point that I've been snapped multiple times every time the topic of him comes up. That being said, therapy for anxiety problems.

The moral of the story is I've been hiding a lot and have been doing a lot. Don't get me wrong, I love game development, it's my future career. But I need to slow down on development as I already have to focus on me. Sure, I pushed off college until spring but I got to focus on the present. Thank you all for reading, it's been a lot of stress but I'll all work out eventually where I can work in peace.

Cheers and have a good day!
