I quit AFF for 3 weeks to see how productive I could be

so... here's the story: 

if you all didn't know, I used to be suuuper active on aff. like actually. I would check at least once every half an hour, and whenever I felt like procrastinating, I would just go on aff and scroll through blogs, stories, or etc. 

I found out that I spent too much time on aff that it was a little unhealthy, and I couldn't really get the stories I wanted to write finished because of this, so the original plan was to go on a 6-month hiatus to see how productive I could be and if I could finish the story I wanted to finish. but, because I recalled I had stories on this site that I needed to work on too and I needed to update, I decided to come back much earlier than I had expected because I thought that it would be unfair to my readers if I just stopped updating for that long. 

I'm really sorry to everyone because I completely did not convey this point across in my feed, and I didn't think much about the plan I had in mind for how long I wanted to quit just yet, so I was very vague and if that worried anyone, I'm really really really sorry. that was a completely irresponsible move on my half... and i think I've matured a bit since I was gone lol?? :((

 

but, I'm sure you all are wondering: 
how exactly productive was I during this mini break? 

the answer: 
not particularly.

 

the thing is, everything didn't turn out how I wanted it to because I found my new source of procrastination: youtube. I think it's just kinda embedded in my DNA to procrastinate, and no matter what I do, I can't find a way to not procrastinate? 

but here are some stats because you all know that I am such a professional scientist and ya gotta carry through and get that data... 

 

words I've written: 22,141
not very impressive... 

graphics I've created: 

only one of these is for my story... totally not the one with sehun in it... /hahaha/ 
but yeeeah I didn't create much but I think I improved a bit?? the best things are worth the wait is actually killing me bc it's my all time favorite poster. 

ANYWAYS I'M SORRY YOU ALL
i still really regret not writing something like "taking a short break to cure my procrastination" instead of the vague "goodbyeee" that I posted. :( 
but bottom line I'M BACK bc clearly I am going to procrastinate no matter what TTT


have some y kyungsoo pls as an apology :(

i think what i really like about the last one is the flowers!! it also has a really soft and cute color scheme uwu and ngl, i was never fond of long titles since i always thought they'd look weird on a poster, but i have to admit that you made it look amazing ♥
