This usually led to me drifting between two kinds of people: the ones who wanted to do shots every day and the ones who were vehemently, almost militantly, sober. Those who only made rape jokes and those I never heard swear once.

It never felt like I was meeting people. More like…archetypes maybe?

Nobody was real and everyone was their own kind of shallow. I wanted to dig deeper but I felt resistance from both sides. Either I was made fun of for being lame or I was made fun of for having a different opinion. Called out either for not drinking enough or even suggesting having a drink at all.

I love anime (and media in general) because it made me feel things I had never felt before. It was real and personal. It made me want to ask questions and pursue my dreams. I wanted to be inside of that magic. But it seemed like everyone else felt anime differently, or at least didn’t mention it.
