Unfortunately around this window was also when my family’s money problems hit their peak, and I never had a stable living situation from that point onwards. During this period he introduced me to Crash Bandicoot, which I ended up enjoying immensely. He taught me a lot about building a work ethic, but he was pretty good at balancing work and play time. The biggest thing to pull me out of this stupor was making what I consider to be my first true friend. I still feel like I’m playing catch-up for those lost years. However, it was a mistake I deeply regret, any free time I had away from school was spent on media instead of practicing the art I had already claimed I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. I figured I was owed a cultural understanding of what my peers had been experiencing this whole time. I should have known better at this point, but life was still hard at home and I was as desperate for escape as any other teenager. When I got into my teen years my family relented on the anti-technology front and I unapologetically dove into the world of mass-produced media. Since this rule wasn’t widely enforced by the parents of other students, I was often frustrated by my attempts to relate to other people. Incidentally, her personal convictions and often the school’s behavioral guidelines meant that I was forbidden from watching TV and playing video games. This isn’t to say she worked hard to give me an advantage, my parents would just leave mountains of debt in their wake as they moved from town to town. We were poor and couldn’t afford it, but she had reasons of her own for doing it that I could never understand. When I was young my parents would enroll me in expensive schools, mainly ones that catered to my mom’s fascination with upper class and new-age culture. I’m hoping this post will provide some context for my actions, and maybe the elapsed time will have dulled the sting of the things I said for anybody who feels it. That said, my attitude towards life doesn’t give me the right to be rude to people who are too young to know better. Anybody who’s called me bitter over the years is entirely correct, I have a misanthropic streak a mile long. First off, let me apologize to the folks who have had their feelings hurt by my reactions here on Tumblr. So folks are still asking me to be more specific about my reasons for leaving Oneyplays. People I know will be drawn as goofy cartoon dudes so that nobody gets goddamn doxed over this. Sorry this post is a little late, I wanted to do some comics to accompany this write-up and lighten the mood, it took me a few days since I try to restrict doodles to my downtime.
