Hey guys! I'm happy to see you all come back to watch my shenanigans! I know all of you are very understanding of the reasons for my lack of content in these past couple of months, not only that but also that I was not able to bring what I promised to the table at the beginning of the year. You guys have been so supportive and have given me so much that wanting to bring out more videos for you was my way of giving back to you, that's why I feel like I've let people down and feel bad with myself for that. I suffer from anxiety, in fact, I've been told I have high functioning anxiety and when it comes to my work and performance, I tend to really overthink things because it's the part of my life where I feel I should have more control over and that's my work and my passion, imagine scenarios that are not there and overall just feeling like things are going to fall apart. I'm working on that, trust me, my therapist is having grand time helping me with that. I know I shouldn't feel that way and I'm working on it. I just wanted to say that I do mean it when tell you guys that I truly appreciate all the support, you guys have changed my life, believe it or not. So Thank you! 🤗🥰

Honestly, bad as it may sound of me to say, I don't mind when you get videos out. I understand that each person has a different schedule, different life circumstances, and just are different in general. I genuinely enjoy watching you work, and your commentary adds just a little bit of humor and you always share interesting or useful information as well. It always feels like a little treat when I see a new video of yours pop up. The projects you do are time consuming, so honestly, just take the time you need for yourself and space it out amongst your work. You are an absolutely wonderful and creative person, so please don't apologize for being a human being with a life!

All 3 turned out beautiful! The amount of work you put into them was amazing. To be honest I didn’t like the manga for Chobits, but I really enjoyed the level of detail and commitment to these kits. I may have to give the manga a second shot. The fact that that sculptor left off so much is insane! Major kudos for not giving up on these in the face of that and health issues. About the last message…NO APOLOGIES! Life happens. It’s messy and chaotic and there’s no way to plan for emergencies. While it’s good to have an idea of what projects you want to do; nothing is set in stone. Having the opportunity to do your own kit not something you should pass on. Anyone who likes to do projects and create, knows that sometimes you don’t always make it to the deadlines you set for yourself. Things come up and some projects need to be put on the back burner. That’s ok! Your health matters! So don’t apologize for life being messy.

Lazy my stinkin' foot! You worked super hard on this thing, made every little adjustment needed to make the kit into a cohesive piece, and here I am flitting from one project to another because I can't focus on one thing at a time from start to finish half the time!
