Greetings, everyone!

I hope you are all doing well. I would like to explain why I have not updated the Suru++ icon theme for several years.

Here is the list of icon themes that I will no longer continue, update, or maintain:

- [GitHub – Suru++](https://github.com/gusbemacbe/suru-plus)
- [GitHub – Suru++ Aspromauros](https://github.com/gusbemacbe/suru-plus-aspromauros)
- [GitHub – Suru++ Dark](https://github.com/gusbemacbe/suru-plus-dark)
- [GitHub – Suru++ Dark Lubuntu](https://github.com/gusbemacbe/suru-plus-dark-lubuntu)
- [GitHub – Suru++ Telinkrin](https://github.com/gusbemacbe/suru-plus-telinkrin)
- [GitHub – Suru++ Colourise](https://github.com/gusbemacbe/suru-plus-colourise)
- [GitHub – Suru++ Folders](https://github.com/gusbemacbe/suru-plus-folders)

I actively maintained Suru++ and contributed alongside Andrea Bonanni, who is responsible for the Adwaita++ and Yaru++ icon themes, until 2021. At that time, I received an excellent job opportunity through a former colleague and, because of this, I discontinued my government disability assistance.

After starting this job, a long period of burnout began. This burnout did not come from this work, but from a bigger external pressure from my family members, friends, and acquaintances, as they became financially dependent, demanding, and intrusive over. As a result, I accumulated debts that were not mine, and lost the ability to save money, and was left without time or energy to study, maintain projects, or build autonomy, independence, or even plan to own a home.

During this period, I also faced constant sabotage and manipulation from people around me, including family members, friends, and «energy and time vampires», and one of whom was a former childhood friend. These circumstances eventually contributed to my dismissal from that job about two years later.

After losing my job, the financial pressure continued. I struggled to find work in my field and had to accept underemployment simply to survive and deal with the accumulated debts. In September of last year, I resigned again after being diagnosed with hernias and needing surgery. Following that, I was medically prohibited from working until this month.

Only over the past year, and especially this year, my debts significantly and miraculously decreased. Through psychotherapy, and with the guidance from my former psychologist and my best friend, I learned to set boundaries with family, and current and former friends, who were financially demanding and intrusive, and I became far less accessible to financial and emotional exploitation.

As a result, for a long time, all my time, focus, and creative energy were directed toward survival, damage control, and recovery. I understood perfectly that open-source maintenance requires stability, clarity, and energy, but for many years, I simply did not have those conditions.

Although my emotional, financial, and health situation has improved recently, I have decided not to resume these projects. At this stage, I need to prioritise my energy and time for my new job, with the goal of saving up for further studies related to my childhood dreams and for buying my own home in a new city, far away from the family and friends who previously drained my resources.

For this reason, I would like to offer the transfer of ownership of these repositories to anyone interested. I will reach out to the following users to see whether they would like to take over:

- [@l4k1](https://www.pling.com/u/l4k1)
- [@Cybernix](https://www.pling.com/u/Cybernix)
- [@eliverlara](https://www.pling.com/u/eliverlara)
- [@zayronXIO](https://www.pling.com/u/zayronXIO)

As I have also legally changed my name, I am gradually going to close and purge my old online accounts, including OpenDesktop and GitHub, and plan to start fresh accounts aligned with this new phase of my life.

Thank you very much for your understanding and for all the support over the years.
