Coming Back to The Forgotten Vanir

Fortnite Fails and Frustrations
So, I took this week off from streaming because I have decided to level-set as I continue to struggle with anxiety and being too hard on myself. I have been streaming a ton of Fortnite, a game that triggers my anxiety. I was hopeful that if I played enough of…
