If you have a lot of crazy stuff happening in your life, do not feel guilty over letting your activity drop while you deal with it.
You can post updates, sure. Your followers will appreciate knowing you haven’t vanished off the face of the earth. But none of them want you to plead for forgiveness and stress yourself out further with what’s usually self-inflicted guilt!
And anyone who expects you to rp during a hard time in your life is toxic and should be unfollowed, if not blocked, immediately.
You are not there to write for their entertainment.
You are a person.
You have problems just as much as the rest of us, and that’s okay.
