Taking a Break from most Social Media Till New Year, Possibly Spring.

In the last few years, I've learned a lot from WorstGen/One Piece, and the community in general. Kuma in particularly has made me question a lot of things in life, and how I want to live.

In short, I'm pretty disgusted with my personal lifestyle. I don't take care of myself, my family, and I don't really have close friends, because I've been a shitty friend since high school. I have a lot of problems, and convince myself it's impossible for me to form close personal relationships because of it. Because of this, I push anyone away emotionally, and just haven't been able to build solid relationships.

While I love One Piece, I've come to focus on spoilers/theory more than even the series itself, and have used One Piece social media, and social media in general, to distract myself from my problems and the problems others face.

I have an addictive personality, and have been working to cut out alcohol and foods I'm addicted to. My health is better in a lot of areas than in the past, but I have a lot of health issues I've been ignoring. Our Dog is 14, now, and has sadly had a lot more health problems, so, I've been trying to spend less time online in general to take care of her, and, I need to help my family more in general.

I'm going to focus on cooking more, which I can do to a decent extent, and cleaning the house, too.

I want to get therapy, and learn to build real relationships based on trust/honesty. I'm sorry for ghosting people here often, I get a lot of anxiety/stress from basic communication sometimes, and it's something I'm going to work through with breathing exercises, a better diet, and actual behavioral therapy. I want to get involved with cleaning the community around me, and doing stuff like food drives. If my cooking ever gets better, make food for soup kitchens and whatnot.

Long story short, I've put social media over real life for too long, while ignoring plenty of people I care about on socials, too. To anyone/everyone I've been petty/absent towards, I'm sorry.

I haven't been there for myself, and I need to actually take care of myself, and change my health/economic habits.

Overall, I think a lot of truth about our world will come out soon, and make people question a lot of history.

Please, listen to your heart, not your anxiety/lust like I have too often. Believe in yourself, and don't sell yourself out.

I was a good dude when I was younger, but sold myself out to fit into society, and, ever since, I've been a gross imitation of who I used to be.

I'm tired of selling myself out. No matter what, we should never trade who we are, for anything. I want to live by the values I believe in, rather than just yapping about them.

So, I'll be off till at least the New Year, 1/1/26, and possibly until Spring, in late March/early April. We'll see how things go. When I return, I might stay away from Spoilers, too, because I just enjoy reading One Piece more without them.

Worst case scenario I get abducted by Aliens, and come back for Wano Act 4.

I want to be more like Kuma, and help life around me. Might go and meet some actual Monks, who knows.

Thanks everyone, ya'll stay frosty and crazy out there.

Take care of yourself, CoC!
This place will be a deal darker without you, but your comeback will be like the brightest ray of sunshine:mrgo:
I'm gonna stick around till the end of today, then ask for the Self-Ban.

Thank you, I've tried to bring joy, while also pointing out some evils.

I'm gonna work hard, so I can make some big laughs when I return.

Love you, too, man! If you happen to see Ghostly anywhere (no idea if ya'll are talking), tell him I'm sorry about ghosting him.

One of the biggest problems I'm trying to work on.
Wishing you a happy and healthy life bro. Take care of yourself :sweat:
You too, bro! I'm gonna come back flashy, like Buggy, and Kaido/Linlin soon enough. I hope One Piece has some fun twists n turns while I'm away!
Thank you! Gonna need some luck from others, and gotta make some of my own, too.
Good luck brother

I’m looking forward to speaking to a healthier and happier you upon your return!

Godspeed

:BigW:
I'm gonna come back in Sulong, OH YEAH!!! Thanks brother, Godspeed!

Sometimes getting away from it all can do very well for yourself, especially from social media. I hope you find what you seek and return strong. Also, wish you a super early happy new year. Take care of you and your family and anybody that's close to you ! 2026 is going to be awesome.



I can feel big reveals coming for the Manga next year !

And in case this message finds you on the day of your return.

Welcome Back !

Good luck in everything and remember, not everything is as difficult as we think.

Go and have some sessions with a psychologis, start exercising, you don't have to do anything exhausting even walking for 30-40 minutes every day will do wonders trust me, book a nice trip right now, don't think about it, don't ask friends to join, just book it yourself and explore a new country/city for a few days.

Also, it's only that not everything is as difficult as it seems, but even very difficult things get easy to do as you try more

Post an inspirational Bible verse fool when it's actually needed you don't post??? This don't make no cents

Romans 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


Proverbs 8:1-36
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.

36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Thanks! 2026 is gonna be a big year, I agree. Elbaph is an amazing arc, can't wait to see Usopp... do something, and Loki pop off.
I hope it goes well

Personally I only use social media to look into some topics, talk to a few people, and as a RSS feed, in the form of a twitter list, for some people I want to see posts from
Thank you! I feel like that's the most responsible way to use Social Media, at this point.

Thank you! It's true, sometimes, just committing to something and continuing even when you make mistakes is all it takes to get something you thought was difficult done.

I really might take a small vacation if I can, nothing crazy, just staying at an inn/bread n breakfast in nearby cities I've wanted to go.
