Well, in all honesty, that is actually a lie. It would actually be two people.

I was debating making a post about this in the first place, but I feel more than comfortable enough to discuss this again. It will also give me some release from the stress and anguish that has been draining me for the past 2-3 months now, and possibly also explain my more prominent absence.

If you haven’t seen my last post regarding similar topics, then you should probably read that first before continuing. If you have, however, let’s just say things haven’t gotten any better for me. Far from it, actually.

Just a month ago, I lost my grandfather. Both of my grandparents are gone.

This was not even a year after my grandmother left the world, and let’s simply say it caused me to spiral down a dark hole. Right before this occurred, a friend of mine that I had also know dearly passed away as well, albeit due to different circumstances. Nevertheless, the timing of all of this is horrendous.

Three people, in less than a single year. Gone. I quite honestly haven’t even recovered from the last passing from 2025. Imagine starting the new year, a fresh start, with death at your doorstep. Not a great beginning, to say the least.

These chain of events have utterly destroyed my mental health for a while, which is the reason why I have not been as active as I should have been (that New Year’s resolution of being more active here, being more social elsewhere, etc.) It’s also why I have not been doing been motivated to do with anything FNAW, FNATI, or basically anything related to games as of late.

However, I have been recovering slowly. I am once again very lucky to surround myself with people in the communities I’m in, and to be a part of what they do. While this is the first time I am mentioning this melancholic topic to anyone actually, it’s always been a blast to be friends with these individuals. You know who you are. Thank you.

Things are slowly going back to normal, at least for the time being. I pray that this be the last misfortune that bestows me and my family for a good long while. I will try to be making an effort and being more active as well, so there’s that as well!

If anyone actually reads this, thank you. This is me just writing for the sake of getting this out of my head.

It’s as I say: never let the bells of the past dictate the future. I will be looking ahead.
