Not everyone is made to be successful. Theres poets in the world who can't write, artful spirits that can't represent anything on a canvas, philosophers without the gift of being able to look at things with as clear of a head as they'd like. I, dear reader, am all of these things. What once felt like a bright future has slowly shattered with the cracks of expectations as I sit here, in my own lif... » Continue Reading
I like to write. I enjoy trying to put words together to express a thought, to try to paint a picture with just the characters in the English language. It brings me joy, and however close you can get to peace in this little world of ours. I also love to draw, though I am far less good at it. Why am I mentioning any of this anyways? Especially since I'm sure this article has some snappy clickbaity... » Continue Reading
When I was 13, all I wanted was a Nintendo Entertainment system. No I'm not that old, it wasn't new, in fact the Switch was just about to come out. I've just been so fascinated with video games and the history of them, and this all begun with the community and discussion around them. That there was all this love and compassion surrounding these games, and that it felt like everybody had a shared l... » Continue Reading
We live in a media focused world. Now, some may act like it hasn't always been this way, and that this is a solely modern development, but thats an incorrect statement. Since really id argue the 50s, the world has ran on entertainment. Radio, movies, and in the future tv and video games, its what we have always done with our time, discussed with others, and created. Even this, what I'm doing right... » Continue Reading
In The War of the Worlds, the entire world is covered in these blood like veins, almost looking similar to vines, or a spiderweb covering the entirety of the world in a beating mesh of fluid. The reason I mention this is, while dramatic, it feels like a good analogy to how easily a feeling of superiority can destroy any sense of enjoyment. How it essentially covers any enjoyment of media with a m... » Continue Reading
ASSASSINS CREED (2007) SPOILERS I am 22 years old, born in 2003. I wasn't much of a gamer until my teen years, and a lot of the 7th console generation was me playing Kingdom Hearts and watching my brother play some of the worst games I have ever seen in my life. Since then, I have become obsessed with this generation of video games and everything surrounding it, my Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 being... » Continue Reading
As time passes, so do you. But as your sand starts falling, you seem to worry about it less. I've done a lot of growing up the past year, dear reader. Its strange, almost incomprehensible both how the same and yet different things begin to feel, even in just the course of a year. I'm writing this while looking out the window, at almost 4 in the morning, just like m » Continue Reading
When things feel like theyre just black and white, then maybe the simplicity will help you get from day to day We as humans tend to group ourselves into one of two groups of thought. The cynic, sitting alone in a world of naught, or the idealist, those who choose to believe that despite everything, the world will turn out okay. Even I fall into this style of thinking on occasion, a childish notion... » Continue Reading
If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then what happens if it shrivels away before that very moment? Welcome back, dear reader, into the thoughts inside my little head. I would like to apologize for my absence, for life is a hectic series of events and I have been barely able to swim. But as Summer wanes for the new moon of Autumn to wax into Winter, I feel my brain once again coming alive with ... » Continue Reading
Welcome, once again, dear reader, to this world of depressing mania, of everything and nothing colliding and creating my own little slice of this concept we call reality. My absence has been long, and apologies shall be given, but truthfully I got lost in my life, in changes, and fell back on old habits. Constant stimuli. Feeding my brain with what distracts me, and feeling a high that no mind sho... » Continue Reading
Welcome, dear reader! The past few days I have been doing setup. Lots of setup, in fact, for something important to me. See, I am addicted to the internet. Very, in fact, to the point it actively harms my well being. So, at some point you have to ask yourself eventually, "Where do I go from here?" When dealing with any real addiction. So: As spring comes into full force, so do life changes happen.... » Continue Reading

Aka like, the absolute coolest hobby ever. Well, we also went through the flea markets. Trust me, a trans gal wearing a giant flo... » Continue Reading
