2017 has been off to a great start. Got to sleep over with close friends for a week while playing video games and watching anime. One of my friends introduced me to One Punch Man, so I am now all about One Punch Man.

So far I've been staying true to my resolution: Staying calm and staying true to self. And sticking with that theme, I want to tell you something...

Thank you. I've wanted to thank you for the longest time. All of you. I wanted Off Saving the World to be that thank you. But that would take a few more weeks to make, and I don't even know if it'll be any good. I have this notion that continuing to create content will show how much I appreciate your support. But nothing sends a message like being straight forward.

Thank you for watching/reading/tolerating what I do on the internet. It's hard for me to be the kind of internet personality who's all like "Thank you all! I love every single one of you! You're all amazing! <3 <3 <3." Too much negative pressure has accumulated in my head for me to be like that and actually be genuine. I don't know if anyone else feels that way about communicating with other people. I'd love to be like that though. But I also don't wanna be fake. I look back on all the times I've been a liar, a hypocrite, and generally inauthentic, and it motivates me to stay as far away from that as possible. Hell, 2016 was the year I tried cleansing all the toxicity from my mind and having a more positive outlook.

I know I haven't been consistent. I hope I can change that about me too. Having a following is so weird (at least for me... because I'm weird xD) It's made me want to be a more positive influence, but also has made me realize that you can't please everyone, and people are gonna hate you no matter how hard you try to improve, but you can't let that stop you from improving. It's all crazy and weird. And I've learned to accept and embrace how crazy and weird the world is. I sometimes ask "Why am I so crazy and weird?" Realizing that living on earth made me like this, so the world must be just as crazy and weird as me.

Knowing that makes everything seem better... or least better enough to stop having mental breakdowns. Happy cry (Tears of joy)

Anyone else super into absurdism?

Either way, OSTW is a little over half way done, and I'm working on a 3 minute animation! Both coming soon!

Again, thank you all! I love every single one of you! You're all amazing! <3 <3 <3 (seriously)
