Hi Elite Fourum.
I decided to not be a loser anymore and change to the correct step to an Outer God. Life is too short to have it blindly lead by the blind when that person is your aimless self. I don’t expect anyone to incline symphasing about what I feel to share, however thank you if you are curious to read me.
Oh, that Chateau Verdignan you still haven’t opened? Treat yourself.
Having anticipated to take part after a surprisingly short length as a lurker (of chalice), I started by collecting WOTC’s of my Gold & Blue Version teammates in 2008 but never grasped understanding the attraction collecting graded cards (found PSA cases more ugly compared to BGS) over binder to finally notice here. This is because until last year I was living a sheltered life away from the functions of reality. Like many it was seeing @smpratte 's channel and The Richest Man In Babylon did I start taking the master ball shaped black pill and began waking the fuck up.
Growing with Pokémon and Art since birth I never productively worked with either skill to my chagrin because I was lazy and oblivious to my jealous attitude for any potential oppertunities. I was addicted spending time buying for the short term aimless, selfish dopamine rushes turning bank accounts into snakes and ladders games over mature financial aspects if I wanted to be this fufilled person I kept moaining I never was practicing. It was in my last few years having barely finished university only by help, failing two jobs I cared about, uncovering multiple health conditions watching life go by autopioloted did I notice negative social patterns what potential hustling both Art and Pokémon (via Instagram) I value equally for complete self-retribution aka being the person you want to be.
Theres several subjects I’m planting here to later root as seperate topics to feed my hunger for social interaction and knowledge. In above years I made a giant wishlist doc for myself as a template that I wish can help others that I am now trimming down. I don’t want them all. Self-reflecting from listening to others changed my aquired tastes of being a Wooloo to the hype item making OCD consumer machine called Pokémon. This has encouraged me to declutter out all of my possessions and collection to make me start wondering questions like, why the fuck did I get into these hype 5ban Graphics cards in the first place when it holds no sedimental value worth relooking to having integrity? Looks matter to us all. If there is a place that my template can help people where I can offer please enlighten me. I’m also searching for serious discussions about the negatives to collecting, business and addiction. Rewatching all of @smpratte has made me noticed similar aesthetic patterns of interest that my recent comments I hope can make people inspired to do something similar and equally happy.
I love the unconventional, vibrant, weird side to Pokémon after coming from having the most stale, close minded interest of only dragon/ theropod designs until I literally researched the origin of every single mon I had stumbled across tons of insights into zoology, botany and overall world mythology that Pokémon encapsulates, let alone the inanimate objects and people derived characters which the former is a theme in Japanese Mythology in itself. It always makes me laugh when outsiders spew ignorance that the biggest media franchise is running out of ideas when praticality creates creativity.
I am also interested at certain non TCG items that are generally overlooked but equally as attractive as well as starting to collect various outside outlets e.g. vinyl, fashion, natural history (fossils, taxidermy, esoteric/occult) and art. Not sure if this is the place to explain what poké items I am looking for.
Ever since the Sabrina arch debuted the Abra line are my favourite pokémon, so much so that my link below is my aim.
I’ll admit my cautiousness at peoples self proclaiming elitism to blue pill others on a forum dedicated to being elite. I’m excited to come across all types of conversations be it go from unique positive elighteners to some of the most negative people with the most self serving, egotistic boring views when it comes to Pokémon. I wonder how insecure people can be to the worth of Pokémon during inflation but appear oblivious at the opposite when there are other themed markets that swallow Pokémon up like chocolates.
Some of this can appear brutal to some and be ignorant as an opening generalisation to here despite collecting for a piece of time, however I am here truly to expand wisdom and improve qualities of inspiring lives for others. For anyones curiosity at how devouted I was making writing with my poor socialising skills it took me several replays this long. I wrote my first message over here to decompartmentalise and kill two Zards with one stone for interest of topic.
You may think I’m being too serious but I don’t think I have taken my life seriously until now.
Sincerely,
Kurt.
Tl; dr: Creating aesthetics to be the prominent potential in life now means everything for me. *AbraKadabraAlakazamPoofSmoke.*
