Terminus

So an overview of what's happened for the past couple of months (not including the stress and whatnot):

I have been watching different series and anime lately. A favourite series of mine has been been The Walking Dead. Another would be Dexter. And some anime I've been watching include Sword Art Online (which I wasn't really a big fan of), Noragamai, and Corpse Party. Though I have some people recommending me more series and anime like Orange Is the New Black, Game of Thrones, Free!, and Haikyuu!!. Hopefully I'll have time one day to binge on watching.

Lately, I've also been playing games like Diablo III, The Evil Within, Watch Dogs, and XCom. Though I have been playing a lot more Pokemon, getting too invested with Pokemon Black 2. But hey - it's not like that's a bad thing (right?).

Another thing I've been really into lately is editing old drawings of mine onto Photoshop. I'm not entirely sure why it relaxes me (considering how I work with a mouse rather than a pen and tablet), but it really helps calm my nerves when I'm feeling anxious or stressed out. [But hey, if you wanna check out some of my work, you can check out the blog I have with a very closer friend. Though there's not much of my pieces as per now, but hey, one day, I'll have a fairly decent collection.]

Suppose I'm not going into much details now, but basically I'm trying to balance out school and actually enjoying myself (just for the sake of actually calming myself down and not breaking down every single minute). And well, I suppose I'm getting there.

(Oh, and you guys should check out my really close friend's blog. It's growing and it'll be great.)

So as per usual, a book I would recommend would be Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. The book really appeals to my quirkiness and I suppose you could say my humour? I just really like the book and a lot of people have actually been asking if it's a good book, wanting to give it a try. The song for today then would be Settle Down by The 1975, a song that I like listening to when I'm in a whimsical, adventure mood. Hope you are all doing well and I wish you all happiness and nostalgia. Bye for now!

Addictions

Addictions are quite complicated. There is a whole range of addictions, varying from a 'phase' to something most people would classify as a 'tragedy'. But when can something be actually considered to be bad?

I admit that I easily get addicted to things (not like drugs and alcohol and stuff). An example would be when I find a new game. Usually, I wouldn't be quite interested in games, nor do I want to be interested, since I know for a fact that I can develop an addiction to playing said game. However, when I do take a liking to a certain game, I would not stop until I actually finish the game (or be the richest player in terms of online games). And people would consider this addiction of mine to be pretty bad. But I have to say, you can actually tell when an addiction is bad. It's as if something has consumed your time, to which would lead to disruptions in your lifestyle (or studies or work), then it may possibly affect you in the future. But the question is will this really matter in a few years time and will this actually help me?

The reason I'm talking about this right now is due to the mere fact that I started playing Diablo III (yes, I know that game was released a long time ago. it was on sale okay). During the weekend, I haven't gotten any work done and I might as well have been ignoring my friends. So yeah, people consider it to be bad. But as small as the situation is, it's actually pretty difficult to get someone to withdraw out of something they're so used to or they love doing. I recently had a caffeine overdose and people have been trying to get me to stop drinking coffee, and I know it may not seem much, but it's pretty difficult for me. Coffee has been part of my every day routine, the caffeine calming me down and allowing me to think more efficiently, yet it's 'killing me slowly', as some of my friends stated. If your friend or anybody you know has a coffee addiction, don't just make them stop. Try to maybe watch how much coffee they drink and (maybe) try to lessen their drinking because honestly, just abruptly stopping someone can be hard for the other person.

Anyways, sorry for that little mess. I've been feeling edgy and uneasy lately and I just can't seem to calm myself. Because you have read my rambling, dear friend, here is the song Robbers by The 1975 and um, yeah, thank you for your time and have a lovely week.

Change

Whether they'd be good or bad, change is something that would eventually happen. People would change, and so would you. You could change into someone you always wanted to be- someone with respect and confidence, feeling happy for whatever is given. You could also change into someone you'd never thought you'd be. That would all depend on you. You have the choice to change, so just ask yourself "Would it be for the best?"

So. I'm back. Yeah. My last post went up on February. I obviously haven't made a lot of progress since then. I've come up with some playlists and such, but I never got the actual time to sit down and think about what I'm doing, whether it'd be just about this blog, stuff at school, or some other things. I suppose promising to update would be futile, considering the past promises I've done about updating. But I'm actually determined to continue this blog (even if it's pretty obvious no one really cares).

It's the 1st of November (maybe it's still Halloween from where you're reading this. if so, then Happy Halloween, my friend) and I'm back to hopefully make better use of myself and my time. As before, I'm also here to give you a song and maybe a book. With a mellow feel for today, I would give you Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood and Let It Snow by Maureen Johnson, John Green and Lauren Myracle. I wish you all safety and prosperity in the form of change (you'll maybe be able to get some candies).
