I let my obsession drive me to madness beginning in November last year to a peak in Summer of this year, where I noticed an OCD behavior that sought to "clean out" my life...and by that, I mean with all the clutter in my life, I was tampering with "extreme" cleaning.
Mostly getting rid of prized possessions, friends, family, and especially account deletion on sites that I spent several years of commitment on. Some accounts are now gone forever from this OCD behavior, others are thankfully restored.
It's for this reason that I played less and less, for the sake of my own damaged psyche and my physical health after years and years of slaving away on something that gave temporary joy.

Of course, this didn't last...just as all things don't. Group mismanagement, seeking more out of what I do, looking for greater opportunities than to stick with a dead end route. When I look back at my accomplishments, I see it with both pride and disgust.
Pride in how far I've come and what I've accomplished, especially after being "that kid that pays big brother to beat a certain level for him". And there's nothing wrong with that...but there is the disgust in all the time I lost from my life. 10 years give or take.
After which, resulting in being one of the top thousand players in the world (only according to Astats, I know there are several others more talented and skilled than me who either don't play on Steam or don't use Astats. Tenthousands, I'm sure.)

Out with the old, in with the new! A pleased Happy New Year to you!
May this new year be full of adventure and growth. <3

For the longest time, I considered dropping out of the achievement hunting game.
I've been away to binge watch a series for the 5th time, been on Tower Unite, and even ended up with two jobs (one didn't work out, the other one is giving me a new life...a car, respect, a chance at doing something else with my life and my time)
and as time went by...even acknowledging all the spam...all the objectives....visual novels to "Read" (which I've given an honest effort), I think I've finally reached my limit.

I looked on my Completionist profile just now and realized that I hadn't had a single achievement in over a month. And you know...I have mixed feelings on it.
It's been years worth of grind and trials.
Metaphorical blood, sweat, and tears (translated only as commitment, stress, and late nights that have shot my sleeping schedule for about a decade) were sunk into it. And it even led to opportunities like reviewing and curating.

Push yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you. Have an amazing day and may those days continue doing so.
Today is my 27th birthday and I'm spreading as much positivity out here as possible! <3 Much love and enjoy your day! <3
