I just got myself into reading Haikyuu!! again I stopped reading it for like four/five years or something like that I can’t remember, its been a LOOOOONG TIME and was like:
Me: If I recall the last chapter I read was 200, lets see how many chapters are there now...
Me: *sees* 402!? What!? *remembers the ball is life bois*... Ya know, I can read this when I don’t have that much to do at work... *does exactly that*
Me: *starts reading again* I AM SO PUMPED! WOOO LETS GO GO KARASUNO~ *actually starts producing endorphins again*
Me: OMG, OYAOYAOYA *literally happy for the first time and fucking years*
Me: I almost forgot that each game is like 20 chapters. But I never hated it and I still don’t, gimme that opposing team character depth!
Me: *at the end of the day; on chapter 268* Why did I ever stop reading it? I am so pumped and excited...
Me: *remembers I stopped reading it after the third semester of uni, literally gets flashbacks of deep I was in homework and classwork* Ah...
Me: *Realizes uni probably worsened my depression, PTSD and anxiety because it sucked all of my good vibes and chill* Huh...
Me: *Also realizes the high expectations that I was given on the last year and the crippling self loathing I had because I couldn’t reach them due to everything mentioned before, thus plunging myself into a worse state of mind* Oh...
Me: ... thank fuck I graduated...
Me: *Suddenly connects everything and realizes that this was why once I graduated I couldn’t find a job or stay in one for a period of time, because they were crappy, I’m ngl some bosses are shit but I couldn’t find the fight in me to stay and had to go to an intensive therapy in which it helped me grow confident and land a job in a pretty great company and staying there for almost 8 months now* ....
Me: Damn... *realizes everything I went through and have moved on from is the same thing many of my ex classmates are going through right now and how lots of them haven’t been able to resurface like I did* Ah...
Me: *actually worried* ... I should probably start answering the ex alumnus group chat and not just my close friends, shouldn’t I?
