My adventure down the rabbit hole has been a consequence of my breakup in 2020. Caught an assault charge when my ex's boyfriend at the time cornered me to try and get me to not talk to her and I fought back. Due to the pandemic the case went on for 2 years before I got sentenced to probation for a year. I'm currently halfway through that probation.
I didn't seek this life at first. I was just a clipfag that would tune in to streams I found interesting. Mostly a vhoejofag, I found their content funny, and was impressed by the use of technology. The months went by, and failed date after failed date, the stress from recovering from the pandemic while I worked at the hospital, it all just drove me deeper down the rabbit hole. Real friends came and went, but the anime girls were always there. I wasn't some parasocial leech tho, it was just nice to know there was someone else I could watch at any time. Seeing them have fun, cracking jokes, it made me feel less alone.
Eventually things ended up getting to where I am today. Got my own place without any roommates for the first time in my life. My job, while it pays shit, covers all I need. Most of my friends are busy with work and/or in a relationship and married, or like a 2 hour drive away. I have a solid group of bros at the bar, but drinking every night is worse than this hobby. I found myself /here/ eventually and will sometimes end up shitposting all night after work (2nd shift wagie that works tenners, literally kms) instead of spending my time watching anime.
Things will get better. I will improve myself. I will apply for a new job. All I need to do is hurry up and wait, get that stain off my record, get a job in the field I have a degree for, like I planned all the way back in 2019. In the meantime tho, the funny, cute, and sometimes crazy anime girls will help me get to where I need to go
