Hello, all!
I am sure you've noticed I have been less active than I used to be, and I feel like I owe you a bit of clarity.
This year, I made an incredibly difficult decision to leave an abusive partner. I won't go into the specifics, I don't feel like I even can articulate it all, but deciding to finally leave cost me dearly. I lost my house, most of my material possessions, and the bit of stability I had. There have been several other life-altering events, but it all has stemmed from this.
I don't say any of this to ask for pity. Many of you know I am a private person and I like to handle myself. I even debated whether I should make this post because of my silly pride. But I realized you all have supported me in my darkest moments, and it was unfair of me to leave you all in the dark when you have done so much to help me survive through all this.
Currently, I am starting a new job to find some stability. It should not interfere with my time for the channel; I hope it will help me get back to some semblance of a schedule now that an end is hopefully in sight. More than anything, I want to keep telling stories and creating. I have big hopes for Ashwood moving forward, and I hope you all will want to stick around to see where it leads us.
I am still working on the Shae audio. It has been giving me a bit of trouble, but I am hopeful it will be out this week. I am also working on commissions and some art for the channel, as well.
Mostly, though, thank you. There really is no way I can express to you all how much your support has meant to me. Without you all, I honestly don't think I would have been able to make it to this point. I hope to one day show the depth of my appreciation through my stories.
Thank you,
Christa
