An apology... aaaand welcome to Yadaman 2.0! :P

“Yadios and cyall soon!”
“Uuum, you been offline for like 14 weeks bro…”
“Oh I have? Damn…”
“You think that people don’t notice but a ton of people do.”
“I know… It’s just that I don’t have my own computer…”
“You should be asham- WAIT! What did you say?”
“I don’t have a computer.”
“Ooooh that makes a hell of a lot more sense!”

An apology…

HAAAAYOOOO EVERYBOOOODYYYY!!!

(I want to start off with an apology, and don’t worry, lol, this post is not depressing, it just has a strong message behind it that could seem that way. Anyway, that being said, let’s move on)

Obviously I have been inactive for the longest time, but lemme tell ya – FIMFiction wasn’t the only site that was affected.

A lot has changed over the past half year, so I’ll just be brief and explain the finer details.

If the above little convo that I had with somebody doesn’t explain it, well okay lol. It says that I don’t, or I should actually say, no longer have my own computer.

I didn’t have one for the longest time. In all honesty, the one I have been using to write all the past stories wasn’t mine in the first place, and due to circumstances, it no longer is a resource for me.

I didn’t intend for this, but it happened, soooo nothing that I could do ‘bout it.

Except use my time for other means. Yet, I still want to write stories, make plot lines, explore fresh ideas, read novels, and so many more things that took up that free time.

I still had a ton of ideas during my absence and since I was gone, I matured, grew more intelligent, etc.

I am smart for my age, but I was quite arrogant and I didn’t seem to get the full picture. (Edit: Literally a few days after writing this something initially, came up that I had to fix.)

I bit off more than I can chew, and my time and patience has suffered as a result.

Now you might be thinking: how are you writing this now?

Well, I finally decided tah try the mobile version of the site, and it’s not bad. I still prefer a legit computer but oh well.

Despite that, I am writing this on a laptop (derp i suppose) that is issued to me by other means.

I will (eventually) be getting my own personal computer that will allow me to write all the stories I want, draw the stuff I want, get the job I want, yada yada yada, A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF!

SO! Now that I have something available to me that I can then write rather consistently (I still am in schoo, do volunteer work and hang out with friends and family so time is precious to me, not to mention the routine of getting into writing since I sometimes have long sparks of imagination and can write for days, then sometimes have relapses. Pretty much, it will take a few days, perhaps even weeks to regain my steady habit), writing these stories should now be in a much better position within my attention.

I re-read a few of my old chapters, and don’t get me wrong – I knew that I would revise them eventually – but the extent of not reading or writing them for almost the past half year, it was a lot to take in lol.

They legitimately needed work.

Those revisions are still not my 100 % priority though.

I want to at the very least, finish my old stories, or start with an entirely new canvas, and move on to the next one.

I missed a lot of things in regards to MLP, which includes the show, animations, music too, but I always found myself scrolling through Youtube and watching another episode whenever I felt like it.

I always listened to the brony fan music while I played some videos games, especially Monster Hunter

There was always this itch. An itch tah read the stories of my fellows online.

All those feelings still lingered in me, even though I couldn’t do my usual thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I still tried my best to write and post stories and sham when I did have a computer, but that doesn’t mean that I was in the mood for it, ALL THE TIME.

There were moments when I wanted to, and others that I simply didn’t feel like.

However, for the past couple of weeks of being online, I decided to not write anything, or even message anybody.

The only thing that I did do, was change my profile and read a few stories.

Most of the fanfics online that I read were pretty good, while a few (no surprise, since, ya know most... fanfics ) were not really that great.

Despite all that, it was still fun to read all of them, and I realized now that making a story doesn’t have to be such a chore.

It literally is just what you want to do, and what you enjoy.

I realize that writing a story, doesn’t need a due date.

Therefore, there will be a few changes on how I do things, but essentially, I will release the story in its fullest, unless there is a reason otherwise.

I feel as if I grew up lol. Learned many things on this journey called Life, and frankly, worrying on the things that don’t mean nothin’, literally won’t do me any good.

I worry about failing a test. Oh buckin’ well. I’ll do my best the next time.

I slip and fall on the stairs. Ooookay let’s try to not skip 3 steps.

So many things that honestly don’t need that much attention – I learned to either not give a damn or to not fret over it for long – worrying only causes wrinkles :P

Oh, since I mentioned me growing up, there has been a few specific factors in my life that I was able to recognize and change for the better.

After a process that took about 2 to 3 years to complete – I think I am ready to move on to my next chapter.

A chapter that I will be able to focus on what is important – as well as my source of entertainment.

I am YADAMAN, but REV-Y-SED lol I know that is kinda stupid, but I always had a fascination with the letter Y.

YADAMAN 2.0 is the next phase of what I want to be. As awesome as I wanna be.

I will never be the best writer, but I will still write coo stories.

I will never be the best artist, but I will still draw every once in awhile.

I will never be the person that I dreamed of as a kid.

But that is the best part.

You can’t determine who you will be in the future.

You just have to try.

Believe.

I know its cliché, but I love it regardless.

I want and I will shape myself into the best person that I can possibly ever be, and THAT ladies and gentlecolts, is how you can strive for success.

And that is what I am going for right now, even if I fail.
