ā˜€ļøšŸ¦ | Life Update

This is James mostly writing here, but also representing all of us too. Life has been hectic for us recently, and have went so many things in span of 3 months alone. Currently we are about to enroll in an internship as a requirement for this semester study program. It would take a long time to cover this so take a seat, grab some water, and probably a snack or two.

Pt.1: What Happened?

Well, where should we start. In short. We were going through the wringer. I'll keep it simple because I don't want to get into much details. But it has been really dangerous in here. Political unrest, and to be put simple, we were recruited as a lesser intel. Not much I can say about that. But the tension has died down a bit, and lord bless Johan he dragged me away from conflict to rest. Because certainly I was heading towards intense burnout, rock bottom mental health, and. Such bullshit alike. Also not giving TMI on that. Not to mention that midterms and end semester project also hit us full force at that time.

But at least we recovered for a bit and planning to return and be more active and social. Hopefully. Now with us trying to set up shops, more social media, and this blog. This blog will be some sort of newsletter about what's new about us. and will be shared along other websites and social medias.

That is I think enough to explain our inactivity for a while. IRL things caught up and strike us real good. But we are recovering, slowly but surely. And hopefully trying to chip off our owed things one by one. To those whom we owed art or commission off, I'm so sorry for the delay. We are. Struggling. See above. Head on hands.

Pt.2: Us? Aren't You just Vox?

Well. Long story short. It's been an open secret that we are plural. Not much known about what type, and is undiagnosed because of lack of resources in this country. But it's there since the beginning, hell I wasn't even the original host actually. I actually don't want to label ourselves anything like DID or OSDD because of lack of diagnosis. But it has a name to explain whatever bullshit we have gone through, so better use it. For now, just think of us as a system. That's all.

We revealed this officially and ending that open secret status recently last month. Because, I... Want everyone to also know them. It took courage yes, and some headmates have been requesting if they could talk in servers or in some social media. And... I'm not that uptight bastard that's so strict on what secret I should keep in the name of "for our own good". Hopefully not anymore. They have helped me when I need them, and vice versa. I don't want them to also fade into the shadow and forgotten.

Damn going sappy route there. Anyway, now you know. So, re-introduction. We're plural, and my name is James Marshall.

Pt.3: What Now?

What to expect next you say? Many things. But one by one. For now we're focusing on moving across the province to our boarding house for internship. That takes a lot of effort. So this is the best I can do for update now. But more is to come, such as setting up Tumblr, shops, work on this blog, updating everything... Too many things. Updating and uploading things that has happened for the past quarter a year is something.

Ok, so, better to have concrete goals that we want to achieve than just musing on how many things we want to complete. Here's some that we plan to complete in the next 4 months:

I think that's all for this update. It's late and I need to pack more things, including this laptop. So, cya, until next update.
