The Zetsu Mail [September 2023 Edition]

Henlo! Welcome to the 7th edition of the monthly mail that never seems to arrive in the mail quite on time!

August is over and I can finally breathe! Technically, the work carried over a bit into this month hence the lateness of, well, everything. Oops.

But I'm back with the usual! I guess there's a little bit more than the usual this time. As you all know, I'm implementing the changes to my channel and Patreon this month. That means the exclusive audio will no longer be exclusive because...every audio is pretty much exclusive. Nothing is going to YouTube. However, it'll be replaced by a special audio in which I'll put in extra production quality into like a more interesting script, a longer video, and actual sound effects and background sound. It's gonna be a bit challenging but I want to compensate you guys with something of equal value!

Meanwhile, in the real world, I've just applied for a new college to further my studies. I've already gotten a diploma in computer science (I know, the meme is real), and instead of a degree for that, I wanted a degree in game development instead. I initially did computer science because I knew that the creative projects that I wanted to work on were rather expensive, so I naively thought I could get a high paying job, save up enough money, then use that as a budget.

Alas, it was a reckless decision. I absolutely hated my course and I nearly gave up. In the end I managed to graduate with a CGPA just under 3.00...which isn't the best but it's passable. So now, even though it means losing about 3 years of progress, I wanted to set things right and go for what I really wanted. It doesn't matter if I end up somewhere I didn't plan for. It's the only thing I want.

I'm a creative person at heart. I suck a lot at logic-based thinking, but I (hopefully) make up for it in terms of expression. I love literature, art, music, and everything in between. While math and strategy are my weak points, intuition and creativity make up for it. Or at least, I want it to.

I'm taking steps in the right direction, but I'm hardly there. That's kind of the reason this whole change is happening at all. If I was the kind of person who would be able to adapt to the shitty course I had and put in effort to make something I didn't like doing into a sustainable job, I would be putting up with the NSFW. But here we are.

I'm just really excited about this new direction and I hope you are too! I want to live my best life and take advantage of every opportunity to do things my way. I always think to myself...if I were to be on my deathbed reflecting on my life, would I be proud of my decisions? Would I regret how I spent my life? So instead of taking the 'safe' route, I'm all-in on recklessness if it meant I'm following something I want to do, regardless of the consequences. At the end of the day, we all make mistakes and there's nothing to do but take responsibility for our actions. I'm willing to take those responsibilities because I'm confident I'll be proud for taking this path.

So if there's anything you want to do with your life that you're too worried about pursuing because it means leaving your comfort zone or risking your stable livelihood, I do hope that it isn't a detriment to your dreams. They say the younger you are, the loftier your ambitions. If you ask me, I don't think you're too old to chase your dreams.

Thank you for reading! This month's theme is alcohol! I wonder, can you guess what type of drunk I am? Hehe.

As always, if you're a Couch Council or higher tier, you get to know what the audio titles are going to be before they come out and get to vote on the release order.

Until next time!
