i wish i as soulful, passionate expressive as my younger self

it used to be easy for me to really get into stuff. the music i liked, the anime i liked and the fandom surrounding it all used to be my whole world. now that im old(er) its almost impossible for me to get into new stuff and im never as invested as i used to be


id say im more muted or dull these days, maybe calloused?  dont really get that spark of excitement in my gut as often and on the rare occasion that i do; i dont really have an outlet for it yaknow? my irl friends are not compatible with that side of me and ive lost touch with all of my old online friends over the years so i cant really ping pong off of them on the rare occasion where im like "man, i love touhou!". best ive got is daydreaming while on a jog or at work 


am i just old? yeah, im 19. im for sure happier today than i used to be when i was 14 but i also miss being truly invested in something, sucks that the bogan boring adult version of me is winning the battle against the stupid alt autistic weeb teenager version me. i will always miss how natural and homely it felt spending every smidgeon of my free time yapping to strangers online about malice mizer, but i will NEVER miss everything else that came with being 14.. yuck.

you'll always be a mizer gang you just in the senior squad now

and just at least in my own perspective

i have been someone that was super into music and shit
as a kid

not any artists in particular but there was this future bass musician called aika i rlly fw that

i grew up

was 18

shit didnt feel the same way i did as a kid

and thats alright

it just ultimately made myself do music now

and after a year of being semi good at it

i just look back and

make remixes/interpolations of thesongs i used to love ykwim

let that soul grow

is what im saying

and im saying this as a dude that has always conflicted w that "younger version" of self and yk being a new adult coming in terms w this "boring" shit

its just a facade. sure certain shit change but just cause u got older don't mean the shit that meant to you just stopped

its just a reminder for u to go next level so u can

move

yfm

end a chapter tye shi go to a new one

ur soul has always been ur soul

you're just better equipped now

the child still lives

if the same shit that used to interest you or shit just don't anymore that just means

something else is out there

there's just always a more abstract more weird just shit u can find overall
ppls art being one thing

would be nice but im kinda doubtful atp, last bit of new ground i broke and got real into was when i got into malice mizer at 14, ive kinda been retreading old ground by just enjoying and simultaneously wearing out the same pool of stuff ever since without branching out any more

maybe its because shit got real at 14 and i had less headspace for that kinda stuff afterwards, who knows
