*i have decided to take a break. i realized while making it that i have not been focusing on my mental health. i was recently diagnosed with bulimia nervosa, and it is a serious problem. i checked myself into a hospital, where i found out i was pregnant. the doctors said i had to get rid of the disorder for less chances of infertility. i decieded that was a good idea, and as im typing this i am in the hospital. diego will still be making music, but its best for me to take a mental health break. my last break was in 2018, after my mom got cancer. it is important that you dont focus your entire life on working, because it has driven me to hell. thank you for understanding.*
