>>949618i know how you feel :( however, getting attached to the purple cat isn't bad necessarily if it's used as a vehicle for good
i try to channel a lot of the attachment and feelings i get from her into my work and improving myself (like doing my Japanese/drawing/whatever reps and getting through dreary work)
even if we cannot ever be with Okayu herself, there's definitely someone like that out there for us and the only way we're going to meet them is to better ourselves. we have Okayu with us to help and motivate us while we're on that journey at least, and that's enough for me for now.
i feel like that's what she would want from us, plus it's nice to work towards something constructive and to have some direction in my life
ganbatte and godspeed, anon.
