An Update on Things (oct 16, 2022)

BACK

Hi everyone, I dunno if you're all interested in reading the blog portion of this site but I wanted to make a little update.

I dropped out of college, left my parents house, and am currently living at my grandparents until I get my first check at a new job I got. After that I'm getting an apartment and starting a career in IT.

I have felt unbelievably emotional today, and it's probably got to do with the fact that I am at my grandparent's house. There's a lot of self-reflection going on since I did a lot of growing up here. Can I even say that? I'm 20. Does that constitute as grown up? It doesn't feel like it. It took me months to get a job even with a degree and previous work experience under my belt. That certainly doesn't feel grown up.

This will be my first full-time position. I fear I will have no time to work on my own creative projects. Maybe I will, I don't know. I have 2 pretty cool concepts in mind. One is a dating sim, and the other is a turn based RPG.

I've almost completely given up on the idea of becoming a journalist of any kind. I just can't bring myself to write about games I love at the moment. Maybe this is a fleeting feeling of doubt. Maybe it'll pass and I'll be raring to go talk ad nauseum about Pokemon X and Y and how despite it being the definitive starting point of the most soulless era The Pokemon Company has ever gone through, it's pretty fun so it gets a pass.

Thanks for reading,
