What did you say?

This is gonna sound messed up, but I read this topic title and seriously though this was gonna be some sort of coming out of the closet sort of thing. Anyway, you can get back to studying if you want. Just realize how pathetic your life is without Japanese and I’m sure you’ll get back in no time!

I’ve even prepared a video to get your spirits up!

When you say cramming, I thought you mean like studying a night before a test because thats what cramming it. Basically, learn 20 new words a day and review everyday. None of this 10 words a day nonsense. This is also where Anki comes in.

Dammit, I actually slept in. Fuc k you Sheepy!

I’ll say bye properly tommorow

>but in relation to other learners (which is who you should be comparing yourself to)…

That’s the point. I’ve always been doing that. But then what happens is that I always settle for that because I KNOW I am better than others and then never achieve the greatness that I’ve always wanted. Then when you let your guard down like that, eventually you will meet some one who’ll just pass and sweep you off your feet without you knowing.

A good example of this is me playing tennis. Long ago, I could have become an amazing tennis player but I all I did was play with people who I know I could win against (even all the way up to my senior year!) Eventually, these people start to become better and better and all I did was continue find other people whom I know I could beat. Sure enough, this is happening with Japanese too.

It would be rather naive of me to compare myself to you guys. Comparing myself to you means nothing to me :/

But aside from that, I want to leave Textfugu because I am trying to remove unnecessary things in order to focus and work even harder than ever. The way I am putting this in my head right now is going alone for zen training into the mountains sort of thing. As you can, I didn’t have a need for this forum for a long time but I stuck around because I do like to help from time to time.

And lastly, what reason wouldn’t be complete with a hint of idiocy?^^↓

Today, I lost again. I lost in Japanese which one of the last things and one of the only things I’m good at. But I have to face the music. I suck at Japanese. I really suck. I really am just a beginner. Then I finally realized that…..I hate losing. I believed that I was ok with it, thinking that there will always be a next time to make it better. Throughout my life, I’ve always done things to a 適当な level and as a result, lost to everyone in everything whether it be tennis, grades, or Japanese (the only things that i’m “good” at is tennis and japanese). But I have to change who I am from now on if I don’t want to ever lose again.

That is why I have an announcement to make. After the mini-lesson that I posted recently ends, I will be leaving Textfugu as part of a way to re-shape myself. I’m not sure about forever because maybe I will pop back in from time to time.

So with that said, if I had a final request, it would be to try out my mini lesson.
