You may have noticed that I frequently drop out of contact, then pop back into view a few weeks later and retro-date some new articles.

What I'm not necessarily entirely open about is my mental health, but I've been feeling the weight of the pandemic on my social life and usual activities in cycles.

I still get stuff done, just at a different pace, and I usually don't feel like posting here or on various platforms in those times.

Talking with friends and exploring new things is pretty important to me, and the pandemic has made it harder and different, so it seems like these cycles are a consequence of not balancing my activities correctly, which I'm trying to handle.
