So, this is a post I've thought about making for a while now. But first, you must understand that I'm not leaving Touhou for good (not sure I could as the old saying goes, "Once you get into Touhou, you can never leave" lol), so with that out of the way, let's get into it.
Despite my love of Touhou, I've gotta move on from it at some point, even if for a little while. For one thing, if I stay focused on one work for too long, my mind tends to get bored of it eventually no matter how interesting it is. That is just an unfortunate fact of how my mind works.
Of course, there are multiple other reasons as well, so now let's get into the second. I, of course plan to make stories throughout my life. I mean, my oldest and my "magnum opus" Story is where my username comes from in the first place ("Sateri" being the name of the "cat people" in that Story). I have a thread on this site (which remains unfinished) and some old Reddit posts of mine largely explaining what the Story is (though some parts of those Reddit posts are a bit outdated, so be warned about that) as trying to explain what the Story is otherwise would prove to convoluted.
Alright, now to the third reason. I am a Christian. I shall not hide that. Of course, I sometimes struggle keeping to my faith more than I used to due to some of my beliefs (especially in regards to the Story, which was a big contributor to my enduring faith, alongside my sometimes crippling depression about "human supremacy") being seemingly incompatible with some of what I used to/still do believe in. Regardless, I made a promise to myself that I would keep to my Christian faith until the end of my days, so that of course means attempting to make sure that I stay on my track and try to properly find Jesus Christ some day.
Now onto the fourth reason. There will very likely come a day when I withdraw myself almost entirely from the internet and maybe even human society as a whole.
Due to how my mind works, it is next to impossible for my mind to upkeep a monotonous daily life like that which I've endured nearly my entire life. I seek adventure and wonder, and most often, I cannot always get that from humanity, especially because of how today's society can be, but as well because of how my mind works.
I also am beginning to be able to not take human development more and more as I grow older, especially because of how much my heart breaks when I see trees in my own neighborhood being cut down, let alone entire forests.
Not to mention, for some odd reason, just seeing humans everyday can sometimes make my mind get a bit loopy, though the last part of that fourth reason is more a side thing to all this and is something which I'll have to deal with myself in the future.
Anyway, I suppose that is about all for now. I may still stick around for 1 or 2 more years, but unfortunately, I will have to put Touhou aside at some point. As I've already mentioned before though, I think I'd still come back every now and then, it just wouldn't be as often.
TLDR; (Pretty big simplification though)
In around 1-2 years' time, I'll probably largely walk away from Touhou to pursue my other interests/needs.
