I'm going on an actual hiatus this time. No posting, no commenting, no checking the wiki. I feel like this place is having a negative effect of me that I'm not even noticing. I'm angrier lately, I'm more defensive, I always feel the need to argue with everyone and I've even ended up hurting some that I was close to.
Whether all that is related to the wiki or not, I think I need a break to organize myself. We're having other personal problems going on as well, and we need to deal with those before we deal with any of the drama on the wiki. Having rapid switches nearly every day is exhausting, and can point to possibly some stress that we all need to deal with. It's hard to balance being in school, mental health, and this wiki, so for the time being, we're just focusing on ourselves and school.
This is supposed to be a safe space, and while it is good to get out of an echo chamber every once in a while, this wiki is built on validation. The mods are doing what they can to help keep this place safe and even if it doesn't make sense to everyone, I'm sure they're just doing what they think is best.
We will not be checking our message wall, but if anyone needs anything, I can check them when I come back, so leave anything you want to tell us there.
I think a lot of us could use a little break to reflect and maybe heal from the stress this wiki can put on us. Sometimes being here is tough and taking a break is good. This place is like my home, and sometimes its hard to leave it, but for my sake, I do have to leave for a bit.
Stay safe <3
