2018-2019 Hiatus

I just noticed that ever since March of 2018, I did not post anything here. You can find how many I posted here in the archives. Additionally, in 2019, I only updated Bottle of Stories once in January. I do not really remember everything that happened in those years but what I can remember are the key events of my life that led to me losing interest in continuing writing my passion series.

The Rise of the Isekai

I felt insecure about what I have written because it fits the oversaturated category of Isekai. If you do not know what Isekai is, it is when a character is transported to another world and the plot revolves around that unknown world. Did it become more popular during 2019? I'm not sure but I watched a lot of anime during those years so that is one of the reasons I did not write. I'm just jumping into the hype train and watch a lot of anime. I do not watch that much now so I'm very active here.

Table Tennis

I am busy training that on those years. We are training until evening and I do not have time and energy to write anything. I love table tennis like I cannot even write how much I love it. I miss the sound of the ball bumping on the table and the racket. I miss my teammates too. We did not have proper goodbyes because we are still hoping we can meet again.

Video Games

I played a few games because it distresses me from all the hardship that the school was giving me. COC is the game I remembered playing with friends as my clanmates. It was fun but I got bored from playing that game so I do not play it that much anymore.

Drafting

Those years became really stressful because of this strand. Plates take a lot of time to finish because once you rush them you might make a mistake and retry the plate. The stress is really unhealthy here especially in 2019 and it took me a year to fully recover (2020-2021). This is where I learned that I should really take care of myself and stop disregarding my body for a grade.

School

This is less stressful than the drafting one but I still have to comply with a lot of activities our school gives us. The school year in 2018 and 2019 is like drafting and other subjects for me. If I only did not pick drafting those years, the school would probably be easier. But as they say, no pain no gain.

Many things happened but I cannot take those years back and redo something better so I have no choice but to move on and become wiser in my decisions.
