"Where the Hell Have I Been? ADHD, AVPD, and the Art of Disappearing"

Hey, everybody.

So, I guess you’ve noticed I’ve been gone for a while. Or maybe you haven’t noticed, in which case… great. Either way, let me explain.

I didn’t get hit by a bus or sucked into a black hole. No, my disappearance was brought to you by two very special brain buddies: ADHD and AVPD. It’s like having two drunk roommates who can’t agree on anything. One’s yelling, “Hey, let’s start ALL the projects! Write a novel, build a rocket, and learn the accordion!” And the other one’s like, “Or we could just NOT. What if everyone hates it? Let’s hide under a blanket and think about it for six months.”

Spoiler alert: the blanket won.

So, yeah, that’s where I’ve been. Stuck in this fun little loop of overthinking and avoidance, while occasionally spiraling into a rabbit hole of TikToks about how to cook the perfect omelet. But here’s the thing—you’re all still here. You didn’t pack up and leave like, “This guy? Forget it.” And that’s amazing. You’re better than me at this whole commitment thing, clearly.

But now, I’m back. I’ve wrangled my ADHD gremlin into some semblance of productivity (for now), and I’ve told AVPD to shut up and sit in the corner. I’ve got sculpts coming, updates on the way, and probably a lot of behind-the-scenes disasters to share, because that’s my brand now: creative chaos with a dash of existential dread.

Anyway, thank you for not giving up on me. I don’t deserve you, but I’ll try to earn you back by posting some cool stuff soon. Or, at the very least, by not disappearing into the void again.

You’re the best. I’m the worst. Let’s make it work.

Love and slightly unhinged gratitude,
