I am taking a break during the holiday season for my mental health so I can better focus my energy on self-care and spending time with family. I have had quite a spike in my stress, anxiety, and depression levels in the last few months because of my working hours (remember I work 90+ hours a week and have to travel abroad at short notice often), family/personal issues (financials, shortcomings, injuries/death), and the latest happenings with my country's government (which deeply trouble me).

I'm sad to say that I need a break, but I think stepping away for a bit is the best thing for me and my family right now. Don't worry though, this isn't good-bye forever, just for a few months so I can get my bearings and come back stronger.

I wish you all the best of luck and joy during this holiday season, and I hope that you are able to spend it with those who care about you and whom you love ❤️

I hope to see you all again in March. Take care!
