Well, I am in a better mood tonight. I was actually going to do a stats post and started it (I now have three posts that are just drafts and I feel -so lazy- now) but I am going to save that for tomorrow. Hopefully. Tonight, I'm just busy being overwhelmed by Persona 4 Golden that I literally spent the better part of like two hours if not more gushing over it with my buddy Haplo. He's only experienced Persona 4 vanilla, but the experience is universal regardless, so long as I don't speak of the many many improvements Golden has made, thus tempting him further towards a Vita purchase. (Because it honestly seems like there were a -lot- of things added and they're all fantastic.) Regardless of whether it's Golden or Vanilla, it's a rather fantastic experience nonetheless.
Last night really wasn't so bad, in perspective, it's just that I let a years worth of negativity come crashing down on me over a catalyst that, really, wasn't so bad. It was a little bad, sure, but things are what you make of them, and I've made it positive now. Hopefully soon, I'll be making it more positive with someone. That....was meant to sound nice...not weird. I'm keeping it, though. I don't mind coming off a little silly because I'm in a good mood. A persistent one, which is strange considering the recent trend. I'm hoping that keeps going - keeps on a straight line because I've been miserable when I'm down and only tepidly happy when I've been up. It's been a real problem.
It's a new year, though. A new start. I've got a real chance at something good, something overwhelmingly positive and it's growing more and more as I look at it and think about it. With it comes a confidence, a decisiveness I didn't know I had that makes my mood rise more and more. I talk with excitement, with happiness and passion a lot I like to think, and while that's real, this feels like something on a whole other level. There's really not a whole lot I can say about it here, because it's not something I can fully elucidate, that I can form coherently into words that can fully appreciate this, but I'm sure the gist makes it clear to you. It's certainly something to celebrate, however, and something to make the start of a New Year seem like a very bright thing.
Is it silly to attribute some of this to Persona 4 Golden, though? I'm not quite sure. It certainly compliments my mood well, adds a little bit of extra goodness to it, if you will. Like a fine wine next to the best meal you've ever eaten - it's a supplement to the experience and only makes it sweeter, but it is lovely without it anyways. The game is certainly wonderful enough - I can understand how and why some people claim it as one of their favorite games of all time; why others consider it a paragon of RPGs, because all that praise is certainly not misplaced. Thankfully, I'm not done with it just yet, but I imagine even when I do beat it, I'm just going to jump back into it once more, doing a NG+ run that I will actually finish, unlike P3P. I just enjoy it that much.
Happy New Year, folks. For real this time.
