Season Hiatus - Extended
Hi friends! Lee here. I'm just dropping in to let you know that I'm going to be extending the season hiatus a little bit longer, as my mental health hasn't been great the last few weeks. Me, like so many of you, suffer from anxiety and I have just not been feeling too well. So we will return soon, I just need a little bit more time to fortify my mental fortresses. Thanks for your patience guys, and I'll be seeing you soon. Bye!Send your stories to [email protected] us on Instagram @theslavicsupernatural
