I don't have many watchers, but I figure those few who have shown some faith in me deserve an explanation as to why I stopped adding artwork for so long. I have been suffering from depression for the last few months characterized largely by self-hatred and feelings of worthlessness. This was mostly related to schoolwork, but deviantart didn't help. It's not that there's a negative reaction to my work, it's that there's no reaction, and that's the problem. Every time I would look at my feedback messages and there was no change, it would make me feel more and more like I don't matter. So at first I would mainly post older works because I couldn't work up the energy to make new ones, and then I couldn't even bring myself photograph the old ones. I wanted to give an explanation to you for a while now, but I just couldn't get over my guilt over leaving you long enough to tell you why. I am so sorry.
