Pink is my favorite color, thus the the color combination. Pink + apple green + Magenta is absolute love. The apple green brings life to a rather boring color combination. I tried only Pink and Magenta at first, wanting to do a purely pink theme but it looked lacking. The green added the right touch.

I have decided to retire from cosplay after this year. Honestly, I'm getting tired of all the drama, the popularity contests and... the whole cosplay community itself. It used to be for fun and just for fun. After some idiot ratted out on my Shizuo cosplay (even if a lot of people thought it was fine) I just realized that it's not worth the effort anymore. Why should I waste my time and money on a hobby that's starting to make me feel miserable?
I used to enjoy cosplay because of the camaraderie and the fun times I had spent with friends. It used to be a channel for me to put out my creativity. Now it's hindering it instead. And it comes to the point that I ask myself: "What is the point of it?". Sure it feels good when people appreciate your costume and takes your pics at cons... but that kind of pleasure is fleeting. At the end of the day, I had just wasted money on something that I would hide in my closet in the end since costumes aren't wearable outside of cons and photoshoots.
I'm thinking of entering new hobbies anyway like sculpy cute sculptures and sewing. I miss drawing too and playing music. I guess I would just have to drop this hobby and focus on the things that I had sorely missed the most. I will miss a lot of friends though. I will miss the fun times of hanging out... but sometimes I just have to move on. Like that time when I was involved in a band. I loved it but in the end it wasn't for me and I had to move on.
It's a bit bittersweet, saying goodbye to something that I had enjoyed for how many years. But things change. Life is like that. I will never regret that I had dabbled in cosplay.

I really should write again. As I have said in my previous post, I have stumbled into another writer's block. Or maybe it's because I am scared of disappointing my readers. I really need to bash this fears of mine. It's not really doing me any good as a whole. I should start on chapter 10 soon. Not to appease my reviewers but to appease me. I promised myself that I will finish this first multi-chapter fic of mine.
As long as I persevere I know I can get through this hurdle. As long as I believe that I can.
