《Journey of 365 Days (((Kind of Completed)))》16--Addict

[Everyone’s addicted to something in some shape or form. What are things you can’t go without?]
I’m sure there’s more than just this, but from the top of my head:
Minecraft—Sometimes I just need to immerse myself in the blocky game, either building in a survival world or kicking ass on an arcade server.
Overwatch—Sometimes I just need to coordinate with strangers to shoot people.
Sugar—I love me some sweets. A world without sugar is a sad one devoid of happiness. Though, I won’t kill myself with my addiction to it (unlike some people).
Weed—Of course not! I’m not stupid!
Smoking—Of course not! I’m not stupid!
Alcohol—Of course not! I’m not stupid!
YouTube—There’re just so many talented and skilled video creators that produce entertaining content!
Manga—I read so much! So many intriguing and entertaining Japanese stories to be told in the format of black and white comics!
Anime—Not anymore, as I read much more than watch anime, and I’d prefer reading the manga of an anime anyway.
Novels—Speaking of reading: so many damn good fantasy novels! Chinese, Korean, America, there are just so many! Read all my recommendations on Amazon:
Cradle series (American), Street Cultivation (American), Shadow Sun series (American), The Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs (American sci-fi), A Monster Who Levels Up (Korean), and Coiling Dragon (Chinese)! Remember to ask for more recommendations in the comments section (but be specific about genre)!
……
Now for a rant.
It is well known that drugs (I’ll use the term ‘drugs’ loosely for referring to often illegal, recreational/feel-good drugs like marijuana, heroin, opium, cocaine, etc) are bad for the human body to the point of stunting growth, causing illness, and generally impairing the ability to think rationally, often leading to poor health/bad decisions. Yet, so many people still throw caution to the wind and get hooked, potentially ruining their lives. Why?

I ask that question—why?—to almost everyone I meet/know that gets themselves addicted to something harmful, including smoking and alcohol. If they don’t already hate me for questioning their bad life decisions, the answer always boils down to: it feels good and I’m harming no one (but themselves).
If they don’t fully understand how bad their consumption of whatever product is bad, then they claim that they’ll be fine and that they can control themselves. If they DO fully understand how bad their consumption of whatever product is bad, then it always ends with, “Let me hurt myself. You don’t need to worry about it. I accept the risk that comes with the pleasure.”
The irrationality irks me.

Cary Simms: The Fairy Mushroom Forest
From a young age, Cary Simms knew that she wasn't like the other boys her age. She didn't know why or how that was, but it seemed apparent to the bullies of her school. They would often call her names, chase after her after school, and beat her up when they could catch her. Her only protection, besides escape, was in the words of the Good Book. But that was before she stumbled into the supposedly haunted house at the end of her street. When a mysterious ring and a drawing on the back wall of the post office opened up a whole new world for her, things quickly went from weird to scary. At a new school, in a new world, surrounded by people who had access to magic, all Cary could think of was how to escape the witches that had her trapped there. It was only having her best friend by her side that gave her any comfort at all. ***This is my first attempt at a middle grade book, and would appreciate feedback. Please note, this is a second draft, and might not represent the final product.***

Fallsinkplummet;
The various races inhabiting the World have evolved from modern day humans after the discovery and use of a new source of radiant energy called Anima, stemming from the psyche. Under its influence, races with traits of previously fantastical creatures have emerged, who still resemble the humanity which gave them birth. The only exception being the large, mythological Dragons, which have appeared after the excessive usage of Anima. These Dragons are served by a race of draconic entities, with skin pockmarked by scales, and possess horns growing out of their heads. These entities--or the Kin, as they are called--are considered the most prestigious race through their ties with the Dragons. Urekin is one such Kin, but has regressed back to his human origins, something which previously seemed impossible. Wanting to get away from his old life and his inner demons, he made his way down to the Cleft, where opportunities abound. Release ScheduleEvery second Friday, 12:00 (GMT+1)
