Right? I for one would appreciate some peace to sit, enjoy my coffee and read/draw/write in peace, without any sort of anxiety inducing event. Is that possible? Never has been so far. Never been a fan of "form a family" myself, and of course it sounds selfish, but I'm okay with just having a partner and maybe a cat or two
As much as I love to explore new areas, the adventure we're having apparently it's indeed on an spiritual level. On a material level, it feels like we're watching one of these cliché horror movies that makes you scream at the TV "You random dumb person! Don't go there! It's so obvious!". It's frustrating because there's no interactivity whatsoever that could help you prevent the outcome. You just watch as you bite your nails off!
You know, as I write this, I was thinking something weird, because it truly feels like watching a movie. Aside from my personal struggles that I mentioned earlier that keep me grounded there, on a macro scale I feel distant and disconnected from that reality. I can't see myself or force myself to be part of it. Other than rolling my eyes, I feel like I don't belong there anymore.
I low key always enjoyed that genre with certain animes. The idea of traveling to another world with certain "meta gaming" knowledge of its rules, like the .Hack// games/series or Log Horizon. Although I was completely unaware it wasn't just limited to that but to a greater spectrum of situations. It kinda feels like it now, huh? Having some knowledge of the world, even approximate, relating subjects to our purpose here, the forces behind the curtains, the events that may unfold in the future, the nature of this world or the universe itself. That's kind of a "meta" knowledge I'd say, as the vast majority aren't consciously aware of it.
