Hello folks! Just realised I forgot yesterday — apologies. I think the relief of finally getting some annoying projects from the day job done just in time for me week off got to me; I kind of flopped down with some video games and just sort of zoned out for the evening. Nothing wrong with that!
Today I wanted to share with you a piece that I wrote a while back, and which has finally been published over on the lovely Normal Happenings blog. Matthew, who runs the blog, has taken a bit of a step back from active blogging to focus on his other creative passions, but is making a point of publishing every single post from the ambitious "The Characters That Define Us" collaborative project that he helped put together.
There have been some great posts up until now — go check out https://normalhappenings.com and browse through the front page to see what's been going on. And then check out my own post at https://normalhappenings.com/2020/05/23/nepgear-the-character-that-defines-pete-from-moegamer/ to round off your visit!
The piece is themed around Nepgear, but it's actually a fairly comprehensive history of how I got to where I am now, for better or worse. Nepgear is a super-important character to me specifically, but it's important to acknowledge the massive impact that the things I'm into now have had on me — on my personal wellbeing, my mental health and my creativity.
While there are many days where I get frustrated with all sorts of things, one thing I can rely on is that my hobbies, my interests and my passions will always be there for me — and that's an enormous comfort. I'm grateful for everyone who has come along for the ride with me over the years — and yep, I'm talking about you, dear reader.
I hope you enjoy the piece. It's a long, personal commentary, but it felt good to write — and I hope it helps you get to know me a bit better!
