Yeah, I feel that, studying is something I pride myself on, which is why I rather not skip a single day, but yeah, I'm only human, and not everything can or has to be perfect. I actually learnt that, in a language learning sense, from a Japanese learner on YouTube, when he admitted to missing a day on one of his live feeds, then said he forged the dates on Anki to make it seem like he didn't miss any. I get it. People on social media want perfection, I just felt sorry he had to lie about something so simple, so I'm not really one for trying to egg someone who misses a day or two out of hundreds. Life happens.

Again, talking to fellow learners, even if I'm not as active, does help ease the pain by a fair amount. Just really want to indulge in the languages no matter what facet I can come across, so I'll take what I can get.

I should have really slept hours ago, but need to stay awake longer still, so I'll probably try do it now after this message, I really gotta do a lot more so even just the 30 minutes should at least tide my senses over for a while.

Also cheers.
