Okay, ever since the 19th of this month, I got an e-mail that confirmed that my computer has returned from the repair shop. On the same day, I got another e-mail that let me know that my computer is ready to be picked up. Since then, I'm back using my old computer, which I can deeply appreciate because the temporary one was painfully laggy.
So, I be you're wondering why I didn't tell you guys this until more than a week later. Well, truthfully, I was going to tell you the moment I got the news. It's just that I think you guys probably wouldn't care about news like that (especially if I don't have any progress to showcase).
Look, I'm sorry for bringing this up, but it's just that I have been living with more anxieties than what I have in the past ever since last year or so. Due to those anxieties, I more or less became a recluse on this thread instead of actually socializing with the rest of the folks on the VG Resource. I honestly don't want to keep this up any longer and I'd like to have things return to what they once were. Unfortunately, I feel like something like that is not exactly possible anymore. It's hard for me to express my concerns anymore under the fear of either getting brushed off or otherwise punished. On top of that, even if I do return to the site regardless, just keeping these problems bottled up would probably break me (especially if I run into more problems during my time there).
To make matters worse, some of my anxieties relate to even hinting at my problems at all. Even when I don't go into the specifics of my problems and say so much as "I am feeling down," I always get that unpleasant feeling that one of you guys will give me a stern lecture that basically boils down to how that isn't exactly acceptable behavior and I should let it go. In fact, feelings of dread crosses every time I see you guys browsing my threads and replies because I feel like I said that one thing that'll land me in deep trouble. With that said, I'm taking a gigantic risk by even discussing this at all in this thread. It's just that I really can't keep going with posting pictures of my progress without hardly indication that the project is still on the right track, while I do my best to maintain a positive disposition and overall ignore the elephant in the room.
Speaking of posting progress, though, I have Kent C. Koopa's hands right here. I would have shown you guys this after I completed the entire set, but it was taking longer than I would have liked and I was feeling less inclined to continue shading for negative reasons.
