I am 51 now but in 2018, while still in my forties, I had to have multiple major emergency heart surgeries. I was hospitalized for a week and bed ridden for about a month altogether. During that time, all I had for entertainment was my PS Vita. I decided to buy and play Persona 4 Golden blind and I spent those weeks drifting in and out of consciousness while making friends, fighting monsters and hanging out with high school students in that make believe world instead of focusing on my near death experience or the possibility of financial ruin thanks to medical bills.
I will never judge anybody that is moved by or comforted by things like anime or JRPGs. I get it.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you didn’t experience financial ruin because of it
I will always be grateful to that hospital. I was expecting to owe $300k+, it turns out the total bill over $550k, but the hospital fought with the insurance company and got them to pay for most of it leaving me with a balance due of $10k. When I called to set up a payment plan, the lady on the other end said that they would forgive all but $996. I paid it and as soon as I hung up, I was sobbing. $550,000. What is the point of surviving if you are going to spend the rest of your life slaving away to pay off you’re debt.
way worse when it’s a fucking banger of a love story but they’re middle schoolers for some goddamn reason
got something specific in mind, right?

it’s a brilliantly written coming of age romance that wouldn’t have lost a damn thing by just aging the characters up a couple years
agreed, that’s the best of 'em!
Ahem. 36 episodes about highschool volleyball. I do not play volleyball.
Hey! Dan da Dan is great! I’m not being defensive! I’m fine!
my personal rule is that, now that i’m an adult, i will generally not watch or read anything where the main characters are high schoolers. it has served me well
Hey, i’m in this meme and don’t like it
Ugh I get such feels from those shows quintessential quintuplets had me openly crying…
Why can’t real life dating be even remotely like that.
