I’m still very much active, but…

Like the title states, I’m active. However, school has started again, I’m dating someone, and my parents aren’t at home because my mother had to get a tumor removed and she can’t carry her bags by herself (meaning I have to go to their restaurant to help out). I’m not alone, some of my cousins and their parents are here. My maternal grandmother is here as well, but I don’t have much time to focus on SimplePlanes.
Since I got my new iPad, I had to restart Duolingo as well, meaning I lose an extra 20 minutes per day. Plus, I am also running out of ideas for making stuff. I am a great builder in KSP1 and I also fix bugs in mods and modify said mods in X-Plane 12, further reducing my time. In total I only have about 30 minutes to an hour for SP. It may sound like a lot, but it’s a lot less than you’d think for stuff like switching devices. Because I’m already very close to adulthood, I also have to babysit my little brother and the aforementioned 3 cousins (who also are all younger than me). Overall, I can comment and install things from the website, but there’s barely any time for me to make anything. It doesn’t help that I have a pretty low grade in math (for my standards) and that I have a huge test in about 2 weeks. It’s stressful having to stay up until 1am studying and scrolling through my feed trying to sleep and having to wake up at 7am for school. I continuously also worry about global conflicts and when the world’s “doomsday” will happen. Recently, a gun threat was posed against my school so that’s also a big help to my situation.
I don’t know how to end this, but I hope you get my point. I won’t quit, but I’m gonna wait until a less busy time. In the meantime, get cooking. I want to see some good posts. SimplePlanes has evolved a lot since its creation and you all should show that with pride.
Here’s a spoiler: I am considering changing the spelling of “United Lukrativsten” because it disagrees with what I generally think is Germanic or Nordic. I have 2-3 ideas lined up already and I’ll choose at random. I am also considering removing “United” from it because there’s not really anything that it unites.
