"I've only lived 18 years, but I don't want to change any of them. They're all part of my life, even the failures." -Makise Kurisu
It's that time of year again where we must say goodbye to a class and this time it's actually one I've really enjoyed and has helped me a lot. Everything from the blog post to the narrative project and even the research project to some extent though that more or less just drove home the problems I've been dealing with for the past year or so. this class has been in many ways very cathartic for the struggles I've been facing in my personal life. For instance the Three Good Things a Day blog was a much needed reprieve. I've always focused on the bad in my life whether on purpose or through some subconscious form of torment I felt the need to put myself through. For better or worse I've always worn my heart on my sleeve and sometimes that can let stuff hit me harder than it should. That week of just keeping track of what went was a major boost to my general mood (if only I kept up with it).
The narrative project was another big one for me this semester. The major theme for my whole website has been how much the past is important even the worst times. I won't move past that day, but I can eventually truly come to terms with it and have it not effect me as much when my brain decides to randomly remind me about it ten years later. If I were to choose the thing that had the biggest impact though it would be the blog by a large margin. I've never been a great talker when I'm not being forced to speak. I work retail and can speak to customers and coworkers all day no problem, but ask me to speak about something in a class room (or talk to friends about serious topics) and I freeze up. This blog has been a tremendous way to write the thoughts and feelings in my head in a coherent manner (and not just shout them out at no one on twitter). I really wish I kept up with my Digiblog series though (part 1 and 2). That was my first attempt at writing a long term project just for fun since high school. Who knows I might continue it after this is all said and done. Hell I've been kicking around the idea of posting the old stories I've tried writing over the years here so I can get back the drive to finish them. All in all that would be three total stories, one with only two chapters, one with five or six chapters done, and one that I actually completed the first draft for the first of three books. This was a good semester all in all. I may have fallen off a little bit towards the end due to some personal circumstances, but I was able to finish my second semester back after a year and a half away from school, I found a great outlet to do some writing for fun every now and then, and I just had one of the best classes ever. Here's to the future. "Consider, can the universe be justifiably called infinite? Doubtful. It may not have a discernible end, but it had a beginning and its component parts definitely have a limited cosmological shelf-life. Splitting hairs or not, if history tells us anything, it's that scientists often make very poor poets. We're all just a ship of fools chasing phantoms, heedless of what really underwrites natural law." - Okabe Rintaro
