Applying what I learned from Gackt

[catatonic_17]

Reading Gackt's blogs, tweets, Gacktionary snippets (all wonderfully and selflessly translated by amaiakuyume , excused_early , and other translators), I am once again amazed and left at awe at how profound he is. And the naughty/dorky/funny comments he adds out of nowhere always catches me off guard. Reading about his thoughts are a real treat and are really addicting, and I am forever in debt to these translators.

 

One of the recurring thoughts he leaves his readers (aside from the preciousness of one's smile) is the idea of giving your best at what you do so that you would never have any regrets. Because life is that short. I guess experiencing so many deaths of loved ones and friends would really make you treasure the time you have to live.

 

And I think to myself, "He is absolutely right. What am I doing procrastinating when I have to read for classes, prepare for the midterms, prepare for class reports, start on translation work, and study the bible to do?"

 

Though it pains me and will probably leave me cold-turkey, I need to go on an internet fast if I want to get anything done. At least until my midterms are done. I feel like a baby who just got her new toy taken away from her. I want to know soooo much more about this man, but I have to divert my energies to my studies, so I won't have any regrets when my grades come out. I have to have really, really, really good grades if I want to be qualified for an MA scholarship to Japan. And I have to divert my spare time to actually start my paying job so I can earn money for more fandom related stuff.

Work before pleasure. That's what my mom always tells me when she catches me willing my life away in front of the pc.
 

I'm not a kid anymore. I have to be responsible for my actions. I would have no one to blame if I get a low grade for a subject I could easily ace.

 

Bye bye my beloved fandoms. Looking forward to your new works, epicness, and other updates. Ja ne.
