account boosting? what's the point if you can't play once you get the account back, you get the GM icon and that's it? People these days...

The first and most important thing I learned and trust me I learned this very quickly: No one owes you anything. It's the sad, stone-cold truth.

It's good that you understand this, it's something most others seem to lack.
I don't really know who you are as I mostly watch Korean games and finals, but judging by this writeup you are a good lad, good luck in life

Is a "Kappa" in a blog a warnable offense since the TL policy change or does that just apply to the non-blog sections of the forum?

when you wrote: "I've probably contradicted myself several times" I had to smile because I felt that way so many times in my life.
It's like saying I hate Starcraft then ending up playing till 4 in the morning the following day.
I wish you all the best. Keep your mind open, you'll find a new mission in life soon.

I remember your first sc2 stream, was like 180p and probably still lagged. I think your tvp strat was like tanks and hellions. I was glad to hear you were giving sc2 progaming a shot. after seeing your progress in bw, it wasn't a surprise to me that you were doing well in sc2. it'll suck not to see your wcs games, and stream whenever I can catch it. Im sure things will go badass for you, and stay in touch!

btw, where's the TS part in your blog? surely cuteguy made an impact on you

Thanks for the open-hearted write up.
I've only learned of you recently, thru Meta and WCS AM.
I enjoyed the read because I can relate to many things you have gone through. I don't plan on getting a tattoo, but if I did, it would be text of the part about the bird and her wings. It's beautiful.

Great blog. I really liked that picture of you at MLG. I got a chance to chat with you there, which in a lot of ways was the highlight of my weekend. You were by far the most approachable progamer for me. I hope you will get the opportunity to do esports again in the future, it sounds like you still have the itch! Best of luck to you though no matter what you do. Keep posting on TL so we know what you are up to and that you are doing well . Good luck!
