hey /vp/
so, I’ve been an on/off heroin addict since I was 15 years old. (I know it’s my fault, i’m a degenerate, blah blah) no matter how hard I try, I’ve never been clean for more than a couple years. I know that eventually, my addiction will kill me- either by an overdose or from the damage done to my body & mind.

but now that Sword/Shield have been announced, I want to stay alive to play these games. it may seem silly to get clean for a video game, but pokemon has always been a huge part of my life. a close friend of mine, a fellow pokemon fan, died of an overdose right before X&Y came out. I always thought about how he never got to play them. in my first Y run, i even caught a Cubone (his favorite pokemon) and named it after him.

I really hope that won’t be me, and my goal is to finally quit this shit for good and make it to the release of Sword and Shield. even if it is just a game, sometimes we just need something small but significant to hold on to, just to make it through.

so thank you, Pokemon. you’ve been there for me more times than i can count, in a big fucking way. there’s plenty of flaws w GF, especially lately, and it can be easy to get caught up in what’s wrong with the franchise. but we all have been changed for the better because of these strange elemental creatures that have seen us through hell & back.
