I was a typical edgy teen. I prided myself on how desensitized I was to violence and death. I considered myself a nihilist and honestly didn't care if myself or anybody else died.

Now, over a decade later, I have somehow become much more sensitive. The violent scenes in Made in Abyss traumatized me. I don't like playing violent video games anymore. Yesterday I watched somebody accidentally step on a small bug and I felt really bad for the creature.

What happened that turned me so soft? It's not like I had any personal experiences with friends dying or anything like that. Maybe it's just a natural part of getting older.

Take care of yourself DQN. Every life is precious.
