Be loud, spam posts, throw around hashtags and whatever. Let the world know what you think is important or what you’re passionate about
But stop ripping each other apart
It’s OK to disagree on videogame stuff, but you don’t need to take it to a personal level
You’re bigger than that
For those who don’t want to read all of this. I’ll post a shorter version for my next tweet:
Being a Canadian, every time I’ve travelled to the US, not even just recently, but ever since I was a kid. There’s always been an underlying feeling that something could potentially happen to me or those around me simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That being said, I don’t only get this feeling when I’m in the US. Of course, anything can happen anywhere, even in Canada. But now more than ever, the US truly feels like a country on the verge. With everything and everyone so divided, that feeling is definitely amplified. When I do make trips to the US, I fully recognize my privilege as a white person. Painfully aware that I will likely be treated better than someone who doesn’t look like me even if all their documentation is in order just the same as mine. But now, the lines are being blurred with new ones being drawn in the sand just to be stepped over instantaneously with no consequence. Each time it happens a finger gets pointed at the other and nothing gets resolved. The leaders of the world are failing us. I have so many friends and family in the US and hope their safety is never at risk. It’s heartbreaking to see a country I’ve grown up next to and have truly loved all the time I’ve spent there get to this point. The senseless violence is infuriating to watch unfold.
It's strange how this time last year, I felt positive about life and the prospects of the future.
Now it feels like the past 5 or so years have been a waste and I'm just getting older with nothing to show for it, or any real set future.
I think the worst trait of being a guy is having limited avenues to talk about your emotions and feelings. Or feeling like you’re burdening someone by opening up. I think I’ve hit a rough mental patch and the weight of everything feels a bit overwhelming
Honestly did not think I could feel so insanely burnt out from a job after only 6 months.
The lack of managerial input or any real form of structure is incredibly draining and knowing the only time you hear from anyone outside of your team is because of an issue is horrendous.
I’ll say what others won’t:
Destiny’s new “episodes” are just renamed seasons. It’s a way too similar cadence & model.
It’s a marketing tactic to rename things to spark excitement in an exhausted game.
Destiny needs a COMPLETE restart. New everything. Nothing carried over.
Been strange lately, like I'm not sad or happy just in a weird limbo emotionally.
I guess lost works but also constantly thinking that if I was to quit my job and disappear only my parents would notice... And that's literally because I live in their house otherwise no one would.
