>>1275>What do you wish for, /kind/? It can be anything."Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born — May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state."
anon wishes for that too. and maybe a new apartment for myself to inhabit... with a balcony facing south. that would be nice. :3

>>1373A family member who I used to look up to when I was younger and then became estranged from years ago died recently. I miss him but also feel angry about the way he acted and the way our relationship went. I always held out hope that he would change his mind and reach out to me again but knew it would be unlikely. It still feels frustrating that his life had to end without any kind of satisfying closure. I wish we could get in contact with each other and bury the hatchet. I hope that when I kick the bucket we can renew our relationship and relive the old days before we drifted apart, but I'm afraid he'll be unrepentant and still despise me or just be too different.
At first when I learned he was dead I felt more of a somber kind of emptiness, but now I find myself regularly holding back tears. I keep thinking back to how important he was to me when I was younger, and there are so many things that remind me of him. I keep imagining him as his younger self and thinking about how much he meant to me before we drifted apart and our relationship wound up in the toilet. He was one of the most important people in my life growing up, and the world feels like a more empty place with him gone even with how much we grew to dislike each other.
>>1368That would be nice too.

I wish to successfully get into a hobby...
No.1382
>>1376What does it mean to be successful?
I just do because I enjoy. Whether I'm good or not or if it's even possible to be good doesn't matter.
No.1385
>>1384I enjoy reading manga and lurking on a few imageboards, but there's not much "being good at that" (or maybe there is?). You could say I'm trying to get better at reading manga since I started learning Japanese. I'm pretty damn horrible as a complete beginner, but I work on it bit by bit every single day and having fun with that (most of the time..). Consistency and persevering is key to going from bad to good, but I don't have becoming good or fluent as a goal. I have a simple goal of being able to read manga/vns, watch anime, and play old japanese games without many translations. I don't know how far I need to get to reach that point and I don't know how good I would be just from being able to do that, but I want to do it because it seems fun.
I also like to code sometimes. I'm still pretty damn bad at that even after a decade because I don't seek to improve my pretty basic knowledge at all, but it's fun making things even if they're not groundbreaking or useful to anyone other than me. I also get frustrated a lot doing that so it's not always fun, but I do get a lot of enjoyment from using my own creations.
Just remember that in order to get good at something, you need to be bad at it, a lot. You need to continue being bad at it as much as possible while trying to improve with babysteps. I have another thing I want to do as a hobby which is drawing. Will definitely pick it up soon-ish. I'm HORRIBLE at drawing by the way. I'm irredeemably bad, but I think it would be fun to be able to draw cute little anime reactions to attach with my posts in various places so I'd like to pick it up as a hobby regardless. It will have to wait a bit though, but I'm definitely definitely DEFINITELY picking it up eventually because I want to. I don't even want to get good. I just want to do it, so I'll have to make do with being very bad at it in the beginning. There's no way around it. 仕方がない。I'll probably never get good, but that's perfectly fine.
I'm sure there's some motivational video I could send you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Vg4uyYwEktl;dr you have to be bad to get good, but you don't even have to get good. set goals of things you want to do, not skills you want to show off.

>>1385Learning japanese sounds fun anon... I remember I learnt it for a bit in high school, but sadly it's mostly all forgotten now. Did you ever play those steam games called something like "learn japanese to survive!"? What kinda manga are you trying to read? Every now and then I get inspired to learn japanese so I can read yotsuba in it's original language...
Thank you for the rocky speech. It was inspiring... It does suck to suck but everyone else has managed to push past it so far

>Did you ever play those steam games called something like "learn japanese to survive!"? ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/438270/Learn_Japanese_To_Survive_Hiragana_Battle/ )No, but it looks like a fun way to learn. I watched a few videos on youtube for katakana then hiragana and played kana warrior (
https://www.kongregate.com/games/tukkun/kana-warrior ) with incrementing amount of kana after each lesson I'd done, played both typing defence and obstacle. I think some could've probably learned kana much faster just grinding some anki deck, but learning to learn and finding ways to enjoy it is a skill too.
>What kinda manga are you trying to read? Every now and then I get inspired to learn japanese so I can read yotsuba in it's original language...Yotsuba& is a good start, but even just that is a pretty big task for a beginner.
There's a lot of untranslated works I want to read. I have some manga at home in physical copy that I bought in Japan, some from a friend, and a yōkai yuri VN I really liked has a spin-off that's not translated. I generally read a lot of yuri because I think close friendships between young girls is a very precious thing. It gives that healing feeling.
