April of 2016

Good evening everyone! I apologize that I was not able to make the journal during the early days of April. College and all that, you know the reason. It's been quite the first half of April and I'd like to divide this journal into segments:

---

First, about my current status. Finals is already over, so I would be able to rest. I only have 5 days of vacation before the next term begins. I don't feel proud of that. At this point, 5 days of rest isn't enough for a college student that has to fill up his own art portfolio while at the same time, excel in academics as best as possible. Some people can, but hey that's just me.

With all these things, I haven't felt rewarded in a long time. Because I have been doing favors left and right. For some reason, my brain just strip off my rights into saying 'no' to people. It's a weird thing I guess.
It's been a pretty lonely time for me, too. I've been always in bed trying to find ways on being productive. But hey, at least I'm trying, right?

Also, I've been playing this one game that has made me awake in the most ungodly hours of time. It's pretty addicting to be honest =3=" I really wanted to stop though, I've been playing it too much. Who knew planning, building, and handling a dense factory would be so fun~

Second, about Homestuck. As you may not know, Homestuck has finally ended on the 13th of April this year. And this happens to be a very big thing for me as a Homestuck because I would have never thought that in 2013, I would be discovering, reading, and following a insanely overwhelming webcomic to its very end. (As well as its upcoming epilogue). It has been a very bumpy rollercoaster of feels, controversy, inspiration, and most of all fun. And as I write this right now, I am so glad that I have made the right choice into delving deep into this hellhole we know as Homestuck.

I have met friends that have changed me for the better, it had made me become a better person as we all went on to read the comic. Just like with any other fandom, you get a circle of friends to meet who have the exact same interests as you do, and then your life changes. It becomes brighter, it becomes beautiful, it opens up a world for you and your friends to explore (and avoid all that fandom drama because nobody likes fandom drama lol). That's what I have felt over the course of this webcomic.

So the only thing I can say is, thank you, Andrew Hussie, as well as the people who have collaborated with you, for making millions of people change their lives, for better or for worse. I really hope it's mostly the former. That's when we all know that writing can definitely be a very powerful tool for changing one's future.

Thank you to the friends I have met all throughout these years for inspiring me, helping me, and supporting me as a friend.

If you guys wanna read Homestuck from the very beginning, and understand what I mean, or at least give the comic a shot into your interests, then please have a gander here! And as a person who has read it from start to finish, please remember to take breaks. It's an incredibly long webcomic full of wordy and overwhelming text, but the story and character development is really worth it in the long run.

And with that, I say:
