Hey Teacups -

I'd like to clear up the confusion that I've inadvertently caused over the last few days. 

To put a long story short, I would like to eventually leave TeacupAudio behind - but right now, that's not an option. When I posted about wanting to exit, I thought, in all good consciousness, that that was a viable option. Unfortunately, an hour later, I was informed that it is not. 

This is a very long, convoluted story that's been building for a long while. I won't go into it, but essentially, I just cannot leave right now. I have people depending on me and it's up to me to do what I can. 

Please know there is no sob story here. There is no woe-is-me. I have been ridiculously (and I mean, ridiculously) fortunate over the last few years. It's plain outrageous the amount of time, support and interest I've received for doing weird voices on the internet. 

I just wanted to be honest and say "yes, that was me and yes that is the long term goal", but as they say, life happens, people need you, and you have to do what you can. Again, there is absolutely no tragedy here. Sure, it's a difficult time, but it's a difficult time for everyone - and I have had more options, opportunities and privileges than most. 

To put it simply, I apologise for the confusion, but I would like to retract my early retirement plan and stick around. As I've said many times before, I am immensely privileged to have this job. I only hope I do a good job, support my family and make something someone finds value in.  

Thank you for everything. 

Best wishes,

Tea
