Idk how to feel about this, I've always switch between on and off my hobbies, even if I don't fully commit to it they're always on my mind and I can always enjoy them one way or another. Heck there's times that I swear I'll stop doing something just to return to it some weeks
or even days latter, it's hard for me to conceptualize just leaving something that I love like that
Well, isn't this exactly what she's doing? Enjoying it one way or another. Not cosplaying herself, but still being thoroughly involved in other ways.
Well, that's one way forward, I guess, although she really could have kept joining her in cosplaying as well. They could do a lot more as a pair, and there would be much less arguing about money.
And nice almost kiss there. ^_^
I think this was a good choice for her at this time. Before the event, she was pushing herself really hard to get to a size she thought she needed to be to cosplay (and fit in her cosplays). This way, she can stay with Hinata and enjoy the community in a way that isn’t bad for her health. And she may find over time that she can break that mental barrier about being a certain size or weight to still enjoy cosplaying. Or she may not. She may come to really enjoy the photography and costume design. But what’s important is she made the decision that she wanted and makes her happy.
True enough. It's just that she was having so much fun again doing it, with such incredible results, and with that realization of how their feelings resonated to create something even greater, that the decision really seemed coming entirely out of the blue. But yes, she has found a way to stay involved that she's comfortable with. Hopefully one day she'll manage to make another confident comeback, but it's fine even if she doesn't, no matter how much I'd prefer otherwise.
