#pls be patient with me i'm still a teeny bit delirious from my 5th shot lmao

my dearest patrons, thank you for your patience! i am officially back on tumblr and will slowly get to answering asks/reblogs/mentions - just with a little caveat.

starting march, i will be taking periodic breaks from tumblr every last week of the month. this means i mostly won't be around within that period of time, since i will be deleting the tumblr app from my phone.

it gets a bit ramble-y below so you can skip it if you want; the most important information was written in the last paragraph!

the reason why i'm taking this action is because i want to be more productive for other irl things. honestly speaking, managing this blog occupies quite a lot of my time (the ebg week was really an eye-opener haha but to reiterate, it was super fun, so it was worth it!!), and i learned this the hard way when i did the tumblr detox this week. without answering asks, reading fics, and writing, at first, i felt lost and not knowing what to do with my spare time.

.... but then, i started to do other things.

i got back into exercising. i went strolling around the neighborhood. i noticed an increase in productivity at work. i actually went out to buy fresh fruits and bread and milk. i took my fifth vaccine shot. i finally washed my darn sneakers after repeatedly forgetting to. i got around to washing my blankets and plushies. heck, i even fiddled around with the mic i bought months ago because i was curious about voice acting, but never got to touch because i thought i didn't have the time.

it was refreshing. it felt good. i felt happier.

so i want to do it more.

to clarify, this doesn't mean i'm leaving the genshin fandom or anything - as of now, i have no intention to do so just yet. i can't say that i will never do so, because no one knows what's in store for us in the future. but as of now, i'll be sticking around >:)

so yeah. that's about it, i guess. and if you're reading up to this point, thank you for doing so! thank you for caring, and thank you for your continuous support. honestly, i've learned that having people see you as an actual human being behind a content blog is a privilege these days, so i truly appreciate the sentiment.

take care, stay safe, drink your water, eat your meals, and i hope you're having a good weekend!

much love, ✽ meirin ✾
