Are you okay? I haven't seen you post around much. Hoping everything is alright. Xx

Hey anon,
I am not sure how long this has been floating around in my inbox, so I apologize for the potential delay. I hope you are not worried.

This message is very sweet, it is nice to know someone out there was thinking of me.

There have been a couple factors contributing to my absence:
My family dog, my little sister, had to be suddenly put down on March 19th. It was incredibly sudden as everyone who ever met her thought she was a puppy and was shocked to be told that she was ten. No one knew she was battling hemangiosarcoma until it was too late. She was incredibly happy and loving up until her final moments. I was 2 hours away and still at work and never got to say goodbye to her, but I understood that her suffering needed to end. Some days are harder than others. But I am healing.

Ever since she passed I have had no desire to play or create for The Sims 2 or The Sims 4. I don’t know why. I have been using my creativity in other means like drawing and creating digital art in Photoshop and Gimp.

On a more positive note, my boyfriend and I began going to the gym M-Th after work so that has seriously taken away my free time.

Recently I have been on a Minecraft kick and so I have been playing that with Austin when we are free.

With all of that in mind, I am still here. I am not sure when I will pick up creating again, but I am still here to answer questions and chat with those who need or want to talk to me.

And.. I don’t think you asked about any of this, but yeah, to answer your question; I am okay. I will eventually be alright. Thank you so much for reaching out, thinking of me, and asking. I hope you are doing okay too, whoever you are.
