Discussion Wanting to see a series end before ctb

[deep-sleeper]

I remember when my psychiatrist asked me why I keep living and I told her the only reason that I have is that I wan't to see the ending of a few series/games that I play. Does anyone here have the same feeling?

It's honestly exhausting having a bad day and thinking "Damn, I really wish the ending of "X" series got released rn so I can finally just ctb"

Legit nothing else matters to me

But then you will never be able to let go. This is one of the ways they get you, with these poisoned gifts. : /

Holy shit I was waiting for someone to bring this up, I'd literally say the only reason I'd consider staying alive is to see the ending of Deltarune, but that's probably gonna happen in like 2028, and I don't wanna stay that long...

Really annoying but what can ya do? I just hope my friends can enjoy it for me :(

Same, Deltarune and One Piece have been keeping me alive for way longer than I wanted

I understand the feeling, I want to see the ending to a couple shows I watch, a book, some webtoons, and a couple games. I want to play silksong but I dunno. I just feel really panicked lately, like I'm reaching a deadline (literally) and feel the need to get it over with.

I stayed alive for quite a while just to wait for Tears of the Kingdom's release, and the last Hayao Miyazaki movie. Both I enjoyed, but felt quite underwhelmed by them... cos you can't expect the things you've bet your entire life on to live up to that expectation. I think I'm fine with that though, they served the purpose of keeping me alive so far. Same with other album releases. Some seem so alien and unbelievable that I've lived up to listen to them. I had been expecting the last weatherday album for years, but sort of in a "I'd be dead by then" way, a bit sad of missing it. But I've listened to it and it's fire and I'm alive and empty now without future waiting for something.

I'm rambling. But all this to say, it's fine to live just for things like these. There is little else in life worth other than consuming and creating art, sharing it with people, enjoying other's company and the few things we can enjoy alone. So yeah, even if you feel completely empty except for these, they are worth it, and I hope they help you feel enough better with time so you don't have to depend on them. But for now hell enjoy them. hugs <3
