Re: Hey y'all, it's your favorite stepmania grandpa

I only just met you IRL at this last AN, and although it was brief, it's always really cool to see someone I've grown to know online in person! Your girlfriend seemed super nice and supportive too, albeit us not getting to interact all that much. FWIW, alcoholism runs a bit in my family too and I can't help but empathise with that part of your post and the part where you begin to appreciate your culpability in the disintegration of your social circles or your place within them -- I'm still working on that, I suppose it's a process. Regardless, it was cool to see you there and see you post here, I can't help but admire when someone gets that personal with the bad aspects of themselves. You're a strong dude and I fully believe you will only become stronger as the years go by. Someday soon you'll see those posts, "please stop sending my stepmania grandpa charts and stepfiles, he's gotten too powerful"

this is awesome, also chiming in to say mag '15 was a nutty ass year

Nice to see you again kommisar! Sounds like you were in a rough time and have grown a lot as a person.

Much love coming your way Kommi! I'm glad you've managed to finally pull out of that dark spot and do what you needed to do! Also that girlfriend of yours. Holy shit is she a keeper for sticking it out and being a massive emotional and mental support for you.

I wish both of you good health and fortune for many more years to come and for you, Kommi, to stay strong brother!

God.... Reading this is like looking into my own soul, except it's currently happening to me. I really hope Im able to quit entirely like you have, and maybe actually have someone to help hold me accountable. I've been abandoned by the ones who lived with me, and now it's just me trying to keep myself in check. Im sure you know how that goes.

I do have hope though. Im happy for you to be able to beat this demon, and Im hoping with the few positive changes that just happened to me, I can hopefully do something as well...

Re: Hey y'all, it's your favorite stepmania grandpa

I had always wondered where you had gone to. To think that you went down such a path. It's really good to see that you are doing much, much better now, and have sought out professional help to sort things out.

Even though we've rarely, if ever, properly talked to each other in these forms (as well as the Xoon forums, bless those times lol), I've always seen ya as a pretty pivotal person that really influenced my tastes in stepmania charts, as well as one of the people who got me interesting in Solo (which I need to pick back up again now that I've gotten much better thru playing on Etterna). Always thought you were an interesting and chill person, overall.

It's great to see you back.

As Gundam-Papi said...
AN 2010 was one of my best memories hanging out with you even though it was just us 4.
Sure we don't talk online (other than Pokemon Pack 1-2(and when is 3 coming out again?))
But i've always looked at you as one of my closer friends from FFR regardless if we have ever talked online much or not. Always one of the coolest dudes I have ever met and that's the honest truth.

I do know what it's like to deal with anxiety issues and just mental health issues in general as I was diagnosed with schizo-active bipolar disorder a half a year ago and have been on medication slowly getting my life back together also.
It took a lot for me to finally sit down and say I've had enough and NEED to get better,
not just for myself but everyone around me who I love and who loves me. Which has been one of the hardest things in my life to finally do so I can relate to the whole stubbornness and everything. I lost everything I could have ever wanted because of it and i'm glad it hasn't come that far for you and you've been repairing it before it had gone to far and had all those awesome people to help you through it by standing by and supporting you.
Honestly good job dude. It's been an amazing change in my life and it seems it's going just as good for you (:
Proud of you homie!!!

Always lots of love from me <333333333333333333333333
