It pains me to do this, but in the end I hope this is what will be best for myself.
I have decided I will be taking a break from cosplay. My own insecurities, as well as traumatic personal events that have happened in the last couple of months have twisted cosplay from something I enjoy into more reasons for me to feel insecure and inadequate. I have a lot of issues I need to work on and overcome, and I can't do that if I am stressing over finishing costumes on time and beat...ing myself up for not meeting up to my own expectations.
I will still be participating in a couple of group cosplays I had planned (main one being Final Fantasy group), but will exclusively be working on those and not planning anything else.
This break from cosplay will also include a break from social media. I won't be updating here or on Instagram and Twitter about cosplay.
I love you all and thank you so much for supporting me, as your support is one of the few things that drove me to continue to work hard, even on the days I could barely function.
Hopefully I can keep your support if/when I return to cosplay or on whatever creative endeavors I decide to pursue.
