>>5723557More than a religious experience, it's a conclusion I gradually came to by praying to God, talking to the family, reflecting on life and the roles we play in this world. I realized that I've been forgoing many important things in favor of Gnoll Quest, which did not grant me the peace I'm looking for.
Don't get me wrong, I have zero regrets about my QM phase. QMing taught me skills that I'll carry over to future artistic endeavors, it ignited my love for writing stories and seeing people discuss the topics, characters and themes, it gave me a hint of what I'd like to achieve within my lifetime - to leave a positive mark on people though these stories, God willing.
As strange as it may sound to anons reading this, when I wrote my goodbye post, I felt God's presence backing me up. I get the skepticism around the concept of supernatural experiences and that many associate them to euphoria and delusion, but there is a genuine spiritual world. You'll know it when you experience it, which I hope you guys do one day, the first step being to seek with a open mind and heart.
Other than that, thanks for your words anons. The ideal is always gonna be "finish what you start", of course, but one must be flexible regarding hobby-related projects. Once again, farewell, and stay safe.
