Life goes on for all, I guess. Times when I start thinking about this is when these lyrics from a song come to mind (excuse the crappy translation)

I used to look at Time from my window when I was a child, and it seemed to be stopped.
I kept growing, but then, it wasn't playing with me anymore. It kept getting further little by little, purposefully.
And now, an adult, caught in the maelstrom of things, I chase after it because it runs and runs like it's gone crazy.
I fear that one morning, without having grown old, a voice might tell me "Your time is gone."

"I'm not scared of Death's scythe in my path, I'm tormented by all I didn't live."

Catch me on my way to become a turtle in an attempt to be a good parent's sibling-slash-best-friend xD

It's so surreal that yesterday I learned that two people I'm close to, two people I've played with as a teen despite not being in my inner friend group circle, they're both now on the serious path to getting married soon.
Feels crazy. I met them when I was 13 in my first trip to americaland and they're more or less around my age. I also know the people they're dating because I also met them when I traveled. So it's kind of... I dunno, I never thought that they'd get together, but they are and I wish them the best. Hope I can get to go to their weddings.
The thought of weddings is interesting. My recent roommate also got engaged this year and I'm so excited over the new couple bc the other person is very very nice and I know they'll make a beautiful marriage. Maybe there's more than one wedding next year. I've been a spectator to a lot of love lately, huh. It's so nice to see people being happy.
It's kind of scary but at the same time it isn't. I'm not on the lookout for love, I've never been focused on that, but then there's people around my age that found their "other half" so recently. Like very early this year I was at two weddings, one for a dear family friend, and one for my first childhood BFF. It's still hard to fathom that this guy that I used to play with on the daily when I was like 5 and grew up with me and our friend group is now a married man with a lovely wife and I was the official interpreter at their wedding and now they're... a family of their own. It's so wild to think about that. I guess life just goes on and on and everyone has different ages as to when stuff happens. Wonder when/if I'll find the one, though I'm most certainly not in a hurry to have it happen (the thought is lowkey terrifying) though only God knows tbh. Still I hope to be a good *insert gender-neutral term for uncle/aunt here* to the couples' children if they have them and I'm looking forward to the weddings and also remaining on good terms with both sides of the couples.
Yesterday I ate bbq ribs for the first time and good heavems above they might be my new favorite thing in the world.

On a side note, I was trying to look for the gender-neutral uncle/aunt term and google says "pibling" but that honestly sounds awful and I don't know whether to laugh or cry that nobody has come up with a good alternative for the word.

 

Im sobbing at pibling, that's beautiful

Also mmm ribs, so expensive but tasty

I'm in my fanart era

Oh and I'm class rep for that class so. idk there isn't much I can do when my classmates write to complain about it and the funny thing is that I'm sure the current professor isn't super happy with having an extra class added to his schedule lol.

It's really been a while since I last felt I was fighting for my life with midterms
Looking forward to saturday it's a holiday here (also next week so I can play the Forsaken update with brand new killer Guest 666 and brand new survivor Veeronica)
I used to think holidays on weekends were absolutely useless, but now... hah
