Q-Jei

Hello Reborn folks!

I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing well. I hope you feel the same too. This has to be said, there used to be a period during which I was accepting the fact that growing up was like killing a part of our former selves. Like facing obstacles you can't avoid unless you sacrifice something you used to be attached to in the past but that you are now ashamed of or that you consider as futile or meaningless over time. This must still be partly true, but at that time, I literally felt like I had to clean myself up entirely out of self-denigration, even if it meant to blindly get rid off what I used to be proud of long ago for the sake of a fresh start. Yet, without exactly knowing why, I'm enjoying simple things more and more easily these last few weeks. Meeting new people, spending time with my grandparents, pampering my niece, hiking, sharing my passion for spriting, music and coding with curious spirits who are not familiar with these areas... It's giving me the impression to take charge of my life better than I did before. This also made me want to show you something positive that I have worked on with my cousin. For those whose life can be harsh sometimes and those who tend to feel lost in a world they don't understand, I wish you to find a reason to move forward, focus on stuff you like and keep contact with your relatives. That's what in my opinion forge a happy person proud of its values. And allow me to get you one last important thing straight: don't ever have in mind that because some people told you once you are pathetic or act pathetically, thus you are pathetic to the rest of the world and for the rest of your life. We're not good or ugly as a person when they tell us, but when we know it.

May your days be bright and keep your mind straight!

Cheers~
