sometimes i get a little bummed out that i didn’t get into ac sooner. i feel like i missed out on a lot of cool stuff, both in-game and in the community
i never had that villager i’ve loved since i was a kid. i never washed gracie’s car or looked through celeste’s telescope. heck, by the time i started collecting amiibo cards they were already gone from most stores’ shelves
but, then i remember that i’ll be opening up new horizons first-day, if not very soon after, along with so many other people, and we’re all going to get to experience that together
not to get too real, but, i often feel like i’ve been left behind - and i’ve been feeling it especially hard with everyone around me graduating while i’ve still got another year left. and i often feel like it’s my own fault for not being able to keep up, or i was stupid not to start sooner
these aren’t things a video game can fix, i know, but
it’s comforting, thinking about landing on that island in a few months time, pitching my tent, meeting my new neighbors
knowing how many other people are going to be going through the same process in their own ways
it’s a kind of connection i don’t feel very often
i’m excited for new horizons for a lot of reasons
but i think this is one of the biggest ones
