Hello, Kristine here.

Some of you may have noticed (probably not lol), that I haven't been very active on wattpad lately. Unfortunately, this inactivity is probably something that will last until... Well, I've got no clue really, when I start being active again, I guess.

There are several reasons for me being so inactive the last few months. The main one being school and work and being busy and blehblehbleh. Typical, I know! That's everyone's excuse for being inactive lmao. But this is legit, like, fo real. I won't go into detail, but just, trust me on this. I'm struggling balancing school + a shit thon of school work (art school, man) + social life + family + concert band. I mean, I quit theatre/drama because I couldn't deal with more work, and I loved theatre.

Another reason is that I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Depression). It's nothing to be worried about, I just get a lot more tired and down and depressed during wintertime (lol) and the dark months (October/November to December/January-ish. It depends). It has been this way since 8th grade, and since Norway is located very far North, we only get a few hours of sun every day, and that's usually when I'm inside and working at school, and our recesses are so short (10 minutes), I don't have time to go outside. Anyway, the lack of vitamin D is probs affecting my mood. Go to school: dark, go home from school: dark. This also causes me to struggle with going to bed at a decent time and waking up at a decent time. OK ENOUGH ABOUT THAT LOL- point is, ya don't need to be worried about me. My (social/)anxiety has also taken a minor come-back after hibernating for about a year. Fun times.

The last (i think) reason, is that I have been reading a lot more fics on Archive Of Our Own. No offence, but I find the quality of writing there a lot better. I also think it's a lot easier to find new frerard fics on there too and I always have a tab of Frank Iero/Gerard Way tagged fics on ao3 in my browser so I get to see all the newest frerard fics LMAo. Though I do love the community on Wattpad, and I love the fact that you get a lot closer to the audience and the readers than on AO3. I have made some great friends here because of that, which I know would never happen on AO3.

No, I will not be leaving anytime soon, you just won't see me posting anything, probably not in my art-book either (unless there's something I REALLY want to show). I don't plan on writing, unless I feel inspired. I started a oneshot about Gerard and gender-identity and self-expression, but it will probably be a while until you see it. To Starr; I'm really sorry about Sunshine. I know I haven't talked to you about it, I probably should have and I really wanted to, but for some reason I couldn't make me do anything about it. I'm not giving up on it, I swear, but I need a break for now lmao. Sunshine is my baby, and I really want to finish it. I'm an imbecile, I know, and I'm sorry.

I just want to add that even though I'm taking a break, I will still read updates and such from my friends and favourite authors (u probably know who u are, i dont wanna mention any names), I just have to prioritise what I will read and what I won't. I mean, I already kind of do this, but like..... I probably won't read rant books and art books at all. Basically, I just need to sort my head out and not fill it up with useless shit and nonsense. Basically.

I just feel shit about this, because I want to be active and I want to stay in touch with my online friends, and I know I've had a bit of falling-out with some people, and that is all on me and the reasons I stated above. To whom it may concern, I love you, it is nothing personal, and it's all my fault for not keeping in contact. Hopefully that is something I will catch up on in a few months if it's not too late.

Well, I shall see you all again, soon I hope.

*sings* dont u ,,forget about me

Above I have put a song that has been stuck in my head the last few weeks. Listen to it, cry a bit about it because it's beautiful and people 2000 years ago aren't much different from us today. (Lyrics in the description).
