Eight years.

I've been on this site almost daily for the past eight years.

Well, I'd say it's been boatloads of fun, but I'd be lying. It's more like a leech I can't pull off because the wound would be too big and I'd die of blood loss.

Still, being here has taught me a lot. I've learned artistic principles. I've learned how to improve my writing. I've learned not to trust anyone fully. I've learned pandering takes precedence over quality. I've learned not to be proud of things because I'll just regret their existence later. Important life lessons for becoming an adult.

Tech 10 literally started because I was so miserable with my real life that I needed an outlet to pretend I was cool and important and capable of defending myself from everything. Then I grew up and realized how stupid that was. So I made a new version of Tech that was just as miserable as I was. This Tech was more relatable and I worked out my own identity through writing him.

Turns out we're both just shitty people who can't change.

Then Star Spirit happened and I think I've ranted about that long enough in the past. Suffice to say I regret it.

I regret all of it.

But I don't have anything else I can really do with my life.

So that's that.

See you later.
