Honestly, a lot of it was more of me pushing myself through rough times. Gackt did help none the less, but a lot of it was teaching myself to be stronger

Well, I've learned Japanese...

One thing I've always felt strongly about (not trying to judge anyone who feels differently!), is that I did not get my beliefs and my way of life from a rock star. I don't read things and think, "Oh I've never thought that before, but it sounds good *applies update patch to own beliefs*". I think I've called him a "catalyst" before- something that initializes or speeds up the potential for a reaction that was already there. I grew up in a very depressive, cynical and risk-averse family, where I literally felt like a bad child for learning piano when I "should" have been doing something "serious" and "responsible" "to make money", and didn't leave my own house without an adult relative or teacher until I was 16. And, unsurprisingly, I felt like a crazy person living like that. Discovering GACKT reaffirmed to me I wasn't crazy, I was right... or at least there were other people who openly felt the way I'd always hidden, and were doing quite well for it

I will try to do this again, cuz LJ seems to be having hiccups again >.<

In a nutshell, he has touched my heart, moved my soul, and broadened my mind. In doing so, he has opened me up, and has helped/is helping me to become a better person <3.

LJ refused to let me post or copy my comment so I made a screencap of it :

He's been the kick in the ass I've needed some days to do things. For example - I'd always wanted to visit Japan, but had never done so because it was always too expensive, too far, I had other things planned, etc. Then the additional RRII dates in the arenas were announced and finally seeing him live was the push I needed to finally take that holiday to Japan. (Of course, the holiday in Japan then led to me wanting to live in Japan, but I don't want to give him credit for that XD)

Also, I've met a lot of people from a lot of different places because of GACKT and I think the friends I've made and the experiences I've had have made me a better person. That's not GACKT directly, but a side product of being a fan.

And, the biggest change is that I've gone from someone who had money, to being someone who doesn't XD
