where dreams go to die (maybe)

Today was not a fantastic day, to say the least. Nothing bad explicitly happened, but it's just kind of the culmination of things that boils over on a less-than-perfect day like today.

It's important, I think, to restate that nothing tangible or that sort of thing happened today. It was all just in my head.

In American high school, there's this prevalent issue of seniors losing motivation towards the end of their senior year, since we've already committed to colleges and such. This phenomenon is often dubbed "senioritis".

But my motivation to succeed hasn't been my grades in a long time. I've never really tried to keep high grades in order to land my dream school. I didn't even ever really have a dream school. I just kind of kept on keeping on knowing I'd eventually stumble across a school that'd be a good fit for me (and I did!).

Rather, my motivation to learn in school has primarily come from my dream of someday realizing some of my "great" stories, particularly one video game I've been designing for the past seven or so years. I mean, that's no small deal, to keep making ideas for the same project over a seven-year span. I've told a few friends about it, and they seem interested in the story I want to tell too, so it's only been more encouraging.

I mean, I've somehow tied everything to making progress on my video game. There's obvious topics, like math and physics being easily applicable to the game's coding, as well as art and music classes to help with the design of the game. Most of the writing I do is practice for when I'll eventually be writing story, dialog, and monologues for my game. There's also the less obvious, such as literature classes providing examples of story structures and elements, as well as history classes providing tidbits of inspiration here and there (though very little--after all, I'm not one of those history freaks who raves about wars and weaponry!).

In fact, my dream of making this game has kept me going at arguably the roughest points in my life so far. When there seemed to be no other reason to keep on keepin' on, the idea of someday making and sharing this story with the world has given me the courage to keep going.

But it's always been a concern of mine as to what would keep me going if I no longer wanted to make my game. After all, people change, and it wouldn't be fair to say that I'll definitely still want to make this game in a few years. What, then, would my reason for being be? What would get me out of bed in the mornings?

Unfortunately, in the past few months, I began toying with the idea of never having to make my game after all. It'd be too much stress and work for what might end up being a not very good game, I started to think. Life was getting me down so much as it was, that it'd be near impossible to also work on a game in the little free time I'd get in the more difficult future to come.

For the better part of today, then, I began to finally accept that reality. I started to actually believe I'd never make my great game, that I'd be utterly mediocre for the rest of eternity. It was debilitating, for the hopes that kept me going in my darkest hours to be forfeit, at least temporarily.

Fortunately, now, after a nap, I'm feeling more willing to entertain the idea of making my game, at least a bit longer. After all, I've devoted almost all of my studies for the past few years to contribute to the larger goal of realizing my ambitious project. I know the road ahead is going to be anything but easy, but I've traveled down these difficult roads my entire life. What's one more to finally fulfill what I've devoted myself to for so long?

So my dream lives to see the light of another day, despite the present setting in which I trudge across barren plains of acedia and apathy.

flabbergasted by the fact that apparently 60% of the worlds population earns less than $7k (aud) per year. like i know there's conversion rates and all that that aren't exactly fair but i could not physically live on that unless i was living in a tent and paid ridiculously low Land Fees for tenancy. and apparently rent is meant to be less than a third of your income (??) so does this mean i have a case for, in a globally adjusted economy, rent never being over 40 dollars a week (which i think is closer to US$30 or 20 pounds or euros, don't quote me on that though) as the sustainable maximum for an Average Income?

gotta get building some REAL cheap houses. wish me luck xx

(and this is a future ambition. as much as i would love to illegally stack some bricks on some land lol)

I think I'm gonna use the remainder of my night to study things pertaining to my dreams... I have a few that I plan to actually work toward.

One pertaining to the last post I made about learning Finnish... opening a business where I translate English-written books (or books in the languages I'm learning) into other languages I'm learning.

So far, I've been learning Spanish, Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Welsh. Oh, and I had just started a bit of Italian too right before I stopped really using Duolingo.

But anyway, I want to run a business where I translate people's books for them so they get a human touch instead of using a program and relying on a program to pick up on those little human quirks.

The second was a pet store, but just supplies for small non-cat/dog animals (mostly chinchillas, ferrets and gerbils but other small animals like them too). There are TOO MANY pet stores that don't know anything about small animals and actually sell items and food and treats that can potentially kill them. So my store would be all about items that are actually good for them and healthy and would improve their quality of life. I'd also have like... literature to help new owners with learning about the animals they're adopting/they've adopted. I actually want to write the literature, so I'm thinking I want to self-publish some small books about the care of these animals once I've put in the study.

The Ultimate Goal, though, is a chinchilla rescue. Just chinchillas. I want to do one and then have it set up so my store and donations will support the rescue. I'd also have vets on staff (since I couldn't handle being one myself) for the rescued animals... and yeah!

I have several other ideas for the rescue but I want to like gather up my thoughts for the ideas before announcing them. Those are just the solid plans/ideas I have for my future businesses I want to start.

jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.
