Q-Jei

Yesterday was the first day of Autumn! Such an inspiring season!

Hi people! Does anybody remember the time when I shared a cute video about a growing fox which was saved by humans? Don't get fooled by this record anymore, it was fake. Four months ago, I reported two videos that were available on a channel called "Rescue Animals". The way they proceeded consisted in putting animals in danger deliberately or hide them in detritus in the first place, then they started to record the part when they pretended to spot the poor things in distress and "rescued" them. Plus, to better tenderize the heart of the viewers, they used touching music and split the videos in several parts to expose more easily the difference after and before their "heroic lifesaving". What hit me was the abnormally high number of like mentions for all the comments on each of their videos. It was as if there wasn't one single supportive comment that didn't receive at least 500 likes, so I assumed they were using bots to promote their channels and embellish their reputation. Unfortunately for them, they came upon someone who was way smarter than them and all of their channel is now deleted. I feel so naive now when I realize that I once loved what they did with the fox and how I cried watching this little guy "recovering". In fact, I tend to feel like Truman from The Truman Show. What you see is not necessarily the truth, the stage director is a puppet master who likes playing with your emotions and being humane means nothing and everything at the same time.

Be careful with what you see on the Internet, people can rig everything they want to get recognition and your respect! Don't fall into their traps!

Am I the only one who thinks that Lin from Pokemon Reborn shares similar traits with Io from Phantom Thief Pokemon 7?

Happy Birthday Jan!

May this day and this new year be full of positive things for you! And thank you a lot for having put so many efforts creating this atypical and polished game which is Pokemon Rejuvenation!

Sometimes, I would like to fry all these intrusive energy vampires that are hanging on me, see them decompose and turn them into f**king ash piles! For those who don't get my point, I'm talking about this type of vampire in particular:

Now let me get one thing straight. I just can't stand to be monopolized anymore, my body and my brain are not free batteries for everyone. If I don't say no and can't take a big break, I collapse and I become despisable for the others and myself. Sadly, this opportunity to let it go has not shown up for 6 months as I never was allowed to take one single day off during my internship, and it slowly turns me into the type of person that I fear the most. Also, it would be a mistake from me to not mention the fact that I'm working overtime with one extra hour each day, which impacts my mood a lot. All this to say that I need vacation at all cost as well as a lot of peace! This is my last hope to embrace the sense of the word "positivity" again!

PS: Sorry for those who will find themselves in this paragraph, but this had to be written someday. Malaise is better off in the words of a large text than in the head of the person affected by it.

Happy birthday Evi!

I wish you to start this week in the best possible way and feel good as much as you can!

Greetings from Alsace 

The day will come when all the tension and all the bad things will dissapear and only the good and the happy things will happen. And at this moment, I'll then realize how good life really is. I know it's just a matter of two months, but why does it feel so far away from me now?

PS: I need hugs really bad
