Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you all well. It has certainly been quite some time since I last shared a Christmas animation inspired by the beloved classic, "Santa’s Coming To Town." I want to take a moment to explain my absence and the reasons behind my decision to step back from posting new videos for a while.

Firstly, I need to address the issue of burnout. I realized that I had been pushing myself far too hard, believing that I had achieved a level of fame that I had not really reached. This misguided perception led me to overwork myself to the point of exhaustion, causing me to lose sight of what I truly enjoy about creating content.

Secondly, my academic studies have become increasingly demanding. I am currently preparing for state-mandated Math and Reading Tests, which require a significant amount of my time and mental energy. These tests are critical milestones that I need to focus on, and I have to prioritize my education above other pursuits at this time.

As I reflect on my priorities, I understand the importance of choosing what truly matters in my life. If that means stepping away from my animation work, I sincerely apologize for not formally announcing my hiatus earlier. My passion for expressing myself through art remains strong, but I am aware that in order to ultimately achieve my career goals, I must first focus on my academic responsibilities.

In light of these changes, I have decided to alter my online presence as well. I will be changing my username to IzzyTheAnim8tor. The name I chose reflects a more cheerful and creative vibe since 'Izzie' is traditionally a name that can be more feminine. This change symbolizes my commitment to rekindling my passion for animation and embracing a brighter, more positive path forward.

Thank you all for your understanding and support during this time. I genuinely appreciate each and every one of you. I look forward to returning with fresh ideas and renewed energy when the time is right! I also have one more gift to give to 

Take care and see you soon!
