'Wow, FC #200!!!' and Self-Motivational Thoughts

To be honest, I don't know where to start this post. It's hard to describe my current feelings, as my approach to FFR has changed a lot. I always considered myself light-headed, when it comes to my interests and hobbies. FFR is not an exception. My membership for almost two years is completely misleading, as most of that time I wasn't dedicated at all. My excitement was always being replaced by distraction and some other stuff coming my way. Now it's an astonishingly different story.

Coming back here was not an easy choice, as my studies are taking their toll, and sometimes I have to surrender my usual interests in favour of the science that I'm completely crazy about. No doubt that my university is way more important than other stuff. I quitted speedcubing, chess, and more in order to have free time for something else.

But I decided that FFR wouldn't hurt, right? Just some minutes to play and enjoy songs is a wonderful way to spend your time. Especially, as a fan of stats I'm always looking forward to document my achievements in numbers.

I should say big THANKS to the NIA Rivalry. These guys helped me a lot to improve my motivation and to get in with an interesting community. Not only does it help my game, but also boosts my English level! That is a big part of it also, as, despite myself being a proficient-level linguistics student, I understand that there's still room for improvement. I don't know whether I would have had no interest at all without the Rivalry, but it definitely helps me to be in shape.

This 200th FC is a wonderful achievement for me, although it is not as high as the results I see on the forums. I'm looking up to many of you guys. Seeing your screenshots and replays, I simply imagine myself being able to nail some 60+ difficulty songs, but I think that's quite impossible for me. I really hope that this thought will never cross my mind again.

P.S. That's literally me writing this post.
