/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Over time, I started to enjoy the liberation 3D gave me, this time being freed from my 2D chains. I once again entertained the idea of having a real girlfriend. I was in college again, took Japanese classes for fun (even though I already knew most of what they were teaching) and became friends with a female Japanese exchange student. We had lunch together a few times, and one day she offered to make me a Japanese meal. I took the plunge and asked her to be my girlfriend, and she said yes, something I heard a girl say for the first time. We both lost our virginity together, had our first kiss together, fell in love for the first time, and plan on getting married in the future. She is amazing. My life is a healthy balance of 2D and 3D, and I am much happier than I ever was when I depended completely on 2D. I am able to enjoy 2D things less fanatically and austically because I no longer suffer from having "waifu" syndrome. I guess now I am a normalfag. I once saged people for this very reason. Every now and then I visit 4chan and my old home of /jp/ just to remind myself how low my life sank at one point, and to never take for granted my life the way it is now.

Keep an open mind because you never know how things will end up. I never would have imagined this could happen 4 or 5 years ago. I hope you have learned something, and at the very least try to maintain some sort of balance between 2D and 3D. Thank you for reading my cool story.
