How have things been going? And do you feel overwhelmed by how large your has become?

Thanks for asking u.u I'm gonna give a long answer, because fuck it!

I feel like things have been going better! Build 5's launch went as well as I could hope for. I got the writing for Build 6 done really quickly.

I don't know if I'd agree with ChoPro being "big", it still feels medium to me. But I guess it's climbing up there. It doesn't feel that long ago when ChoPro was just a small time project.

It's overwhelming sometimes. I've actually had to take some steps to distance myself from a lot of the toxic environments that exist in FVN spaces. I'm more than happy to take feedback and criticism if it's coming from a good place, but reading hate comments about my work is just too upsetting. I'd rather not see it, period. Limiting my exposure to those environments, or just removing myself from them entirely has done wonders for my mental health and productivity.

One thing I'm having trouble with is learning how to navigate conversations with strangers who know my work. I get nervous that I'm coming off as either too pretentious or too humble. It's weird. I like it when people talk to me about my work! But it's weird.
