/jp/ - Otaku Culture

You don't understand. I really do believe in the dream of living on one's own, enjoying media, and being content with a simple life. I've believed in this for over a decade, unironically, since before /jp/ existed.

But, when someone suddenly comes along who will push you from behind, help you live a functioning life, where you can earn the money you need to pay rent, and to buy the things you want to buy, and this person treats you kindly, like family, like your own mother or father would, you really can't turn her down because of some kind of silly otaku pride.

I don't believe that everyone will meet someone like I did, in fact I think that most people won't. And I count those people whom I think won't ever have a partner as my comrades, I can't give them up. I spend almost all of my time at home here posting with /jp/ers, pretending to be a lonely single NEET, advancing the otaku culture.

I need to see proof that the otaku lifestyle can result in personal fulfillment, otherwise I feel like everything I believe in internally will crumble. But, I can't provide that proof for myself, because I'm living a "normie" life now, and I can't go back, fuck fuck fuck fuck.
