Stabbing westward to make Darkest of Days
It happened, I'm going, its just a matter of time.
I got the word from Mark, they offered 39k and the chance to realize my dreams and I totally accepted.
Its like an emotional explosion going on inside of me. I don't think I've ever felt like laughing and crying at the same moment until today. I'm going to be gone through may at least, with following months added on an as-needed basis. Any way you slice it, I'm gone in 2-3 weeks time.
On one hand, I get to live out my dream and vindicate myself before a literal nation of gamers. This thing is getting national release and I'll be one of 16 people involved in its creation. When people play it, they'll be influenced by me every step of the way. My work will be viewed by tens of thousands at a minimum and millions at best. And I intend it to be the best.
I'm not only leaving behind all my friends and family, but all the rest as well. I never noticed just how much I loved trees and rolling hills, or the backdrop of an urban skyline. The soft hum of the highway always there to comfort me no matter where I was. Its strange to think about but its going to be a bit more quiet out there.
I don't know how I'll feel about leaving everyone here. I intend to be online, I'm going to fix this thing so that I won't be so disconnected. This little screen is my life-line to all that I now hold so very dearly. To pick out individuals I'm going to miss would simply take too long in this document. I intend to tell each and every one of you before I go how much you've meant to me.
God theres just so much to plan. For now, I'm just picking at it but tomorrow I start in earnest. I'm balancing the fear of loneliness against the exhilaration of opportunity and any way you slice it the weight is as excruciating as it is exciting.
