Welp, I've Been Around Another Year

That's really all I've got to say, I'm another year older, hooray I suppose?

I'm not saying that in any negative way, I'm saying I suppose because let's really just step back for a second, look at the grand scheme of things.

You're all probably glad I'm here because it means another year of rambling and insane story ideas that in all honesty will probably never come to fruition, it's a thing for me because I'm gonna have my first real experience of a night out (some friends are gonna take me bar hopping), but really at its core, this is nothing to special.

We're all born with potential, a blank slate, we're all here for some purpose, what that is well it's our job to figure out.

Here's what I know, I'll probably finally have my first job soon, I'll finally have some semblance of freedom with this as well as some form of constraint since I'll then be using time that would have used to be free.

Here's what I know, tomorrow there's another new episode of FiM, as well as the Friendship Games.

I know that I've been playing a stupid amount of Pokemon Conquest because that's just who I am, and I'm getting ready for Stella Glow in November.

And I know that's gonna be good because Atlus, and as we know well... Atlus, look I'll let this speak for itself.

Like I said, Atlus.

I know these things, but at its core, is my being around another year all that big a deal? I don't mean that in a depressing way I'm glad I'm still here, and I hope those of you who are still in the fandom agree (I know there's more then a few dead accounts following me).

At its core, I'm just a speck of dust, on a speak of dust, inside a speck of dust.

I'm just in the Milky Way Galaxy, in our solar system, on Earth, on North America, in USA, on the Pacific North West, in Oregon, in Portland, break that down even further to my group of friends and family, and what are we left with?

Again, dust, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm glad I'm here, I'm glad I am where I am, I'm glad you guys are all insane enough to follow me, and I'm glad I've been around another year.

I'm really just saying, I'm not important, none of us really are, and your birthday is great, I'll always wish you a happy one and link Pinkie Pie singing because that's just who I am.

It's your day on your birthday, we all understand that but even though it's your day, you're still just you, and that's always amazing, you do deserve to be happy, but you deserve that every day.

I'm not saying they're stupid, I love my birthday and I hope you all love yours too, I'm just saying keep in perspective, because that makes it all the better.

You may be dust to most of the world who doesn't know your name, your hobbies, your anything, but to those around you, those who are your friends and family, those who know you you're so much more, and that's just as, if not more important than anything.

So yeah, happy 22 to me, I know to most it's not a big deal, but I'm glad that it's important to me, and to so many others.

Raise a glass, and enjoy a game my friends, because at its core, that's the main important things.

Now if you'll all excuse me, I've got three years to beat an army, or I could always just say screw that and go play more Borderlands, it's been a while.

Anyway, peace out!
