I feel like I've been cheated out of the past few years of my life. The more pressing issue is that even though I'm still young enough to go to cons and all the other related things right now, if I do the responsible thing and go back to the demanding work, there's very little chance of me getting to do any of that before I'm 30. I mainly don't want to accept the feeling of "giving up" on being able to weeb, but also don't want to be that guy in his early 30's cosplaying and travelling to big cons alone.
