[ImpactBreaker]

I agree with some of your points. But that's mostly on how people usually feel like "artists desrves these breaks after so much hard work". I'm a physician and as one, I have to be constantly studying and putting up with the latest science discovers. The responsibility I have when I examine a patient can sometimes be so much for me to bring the matters to think about them at home, after I've left my work place. I have to constantly be recycling my knowledge. There's just too much you have to learn. And you have to deal with people's bad humor, unfounded complaints, neurosis and also with the risks of getting infected or getting injured by a patient who's delusional or aggressive. Still, I don't feel like I deserve a 5 years break because my job is 'oh so stressing'. I know making songs is art, and you don't rush art, but if that's your job, I don't see how is it so sacrificing that you need to take lifetime breaks. Maybe hikki's human activities are jsutifiable in a way or another, but I don't feel like her music career break is something she "deserves" after all her "hard work". In other words, I just personally feel she's being a little irresponsible with career, but well, whatever floats people's boats. she does have the money to pursue her activities and put her career on hold anyways, os it's up to her. Doesn't mean either that I won't look forward to her releases when she finally decides to ocme back he he
