The Tender Nighttime

Starfall Rest News from Benign Chaos

Dear Fantasy Family,

I have had a rough two months dealing with personal issues. My dog passed away. I’ve faced some health struggles. And we’re preparing for our youngest child to leave for university.

For the past year, I’ve poured my heart into building Starfall Rest, both with the website and the YouTube channel. I genuinely love my work, and I’ve slowly been bringing Starfall Rest, a world of imagination and magic, to life.

But recently, my energy and spirit dipped, like the sun setting after a long, hard day of passionate work. And I’m not completely back yet. My heart is still sad and fragile, but I’m slowly finding the path forward.

Hopefully, you’ll soon see the old Benign Chaos—the old Angel—working away again: passionate and joyful and eager, creating new content and crafting whimsical delights. But for now, I remain in the nighttime of the moment, resting in a place of sadness, melancholy, and fatigue.

Thank you so much for your patience while I rest. I’ll be back soon, friends.

With warmth and love,
Benign Chaos

P.S. Sylwen keeps leaving tea and thimbleful cookies outside my door. I can hear Moonwinkle meowing in concern. I suspect they’re both worried. I’ll come out soon, I promise.
