Why I disappeared again · 12:41pm Jan 5th, 2015
Dear Readers,
I know, I know, I disappeared without giving updates to prince of the sun again. Do not worry, I am not ill and I am not dead however something recently made me think.
A few people at my university stumbled across my stories on various sites and then called me out on them. As you know by know, i like to work with regression and alternate universe, I like stories about this stuff and I have loved working on this story. Anyway back to those people, they called me out on my stories saying that I need to "Grow up" and "Start acting like an adult". Basically, they were telling me that being a child at heart is wrong and that I should only focus on being an adult, forget about childhood memories and only be an adult.
This hurt a lot, I was in a point of Limbo. I wanted to write but their stinging insults stayed with me, I was close to abandoning the whole project...... but I am not and here's why:
At my job, I served a customer who had brought himself sweets. I asked him who there were for because he looked like an older gent so i thought that they maybe were for his kids, but the man said they were his and went on to say "43 years old and I still love sweets". I told him that I loved watching animation films because they are better than half the crud we get on television these days, with it all being serious and must contain at least 4 swear words before people will watch it. He agreed and said "nothing wrong with being a child at heart". This helped me so much, I realized that as long as I was happy with what I was doing then who cares what others may think.
Those people at uni can have their own opinions and may want me to quit, but thanks to that guy (and you guys for your constant support) I will keep writing. 2014 was a rough year for me as you probably saw, lets hope 2015 will be the year of Tornado Blitz
Thanks guys, new chapter soon
Good for you.
I can tell you there's nothing wrong with being a kid at heart. Pretty much everyone I know is one. I am to a certain extent. (Even my old man is one, much to my chagrin.) If being grown up means being like those jerks at your university, than pass me an issue of Spider-man and a chocolate milkshake. Viva la revolution!
I just started reading your stories, and let me tell you, it's awesome. Those people at the University can suck on pineapples for all I care. I grew up loving Transformers and still love it today, and kids(lol kids) tell me it's for babies. Now, I watched Mlp and now I love both Transformers and mlp... generation 4. There is nothing, and absolutely nothing wrong having a heart for something you love growing up.
Like Thomas the Tank Engine? As a kid, I was ecstatic for trains. Absolutely loved them. Then I got older, and grew out of it. But Thomas the Tank Engine will always have a place for my childhood at heart.
The only time to forget childhood memories is becoming a soldier. I fully support my troops, by the way, but I digress.
Either way, if there's something you love to do, do it. Let the naysayers indulge on their "mature" pride. But I think they are the immature ones for not allowing people to be who they are. Prejudice, the lot of them.
Good sir please tell them you got some USMC backup if you needed it.
