"The most attractive thing about you should have less to do with your face, body, clothes, or car; and more to do with your heart and how you treat people."
The quote I live by, even if life has made it really hard the past 18 months to do so.
Just keep going.

The past two months are the best two months I've had in, at least, the last 5 years but probably 10.
I've lost 20 lbs, I have total control of my physical/mental health, and I cannot wait to wake up each morning.
A few things have unquestionably changed my life for the better.

SCG Cinci, a literal 20k, only has 231 players. What happened? Is this a result of winter weather, or are cash open events just dying? I swear I’ve played in classics bigger than this. Not to mention it’s also modern, the most popular constructed format

I say this with no malice/hatred, and the tournament I just covered is just one event (so small sample size etc) but here's where I'm at.
Uro obviously needs to be banned. But banning it doesn't even begin to solve all the problems w/ Standard and that's the real problem.

Independent of WotC's (potential) banning announcement, I really wish Early Streamer Events and/or releasing new sets so early would stop.

Free idea (if I were someone who worked in marketing somewhere):
Magic: the Gathering. The best tabletop TCG then, now, and forever. We’re not an esport because we don’t need to be and there’s comfort in knowing that.
Come for the Gathering. Stay for the Magic.

Called my mom crying in my car because I was broke and life was a complete disaster.
She told me to start playing Magic again.
I said I hated Magic.
She said it's the only thing I've ever seen that makes you really happy.
Glad I made the call.
What is one small decision you made that changed the whole trajectory of your life?
I’ll go first, agreeing to go to a brand new friends house in 2011 after just moving to a new area. They were playing Magic while waiting for everyone to get there.

The sooner folks stop acting like Magic is a children's card game that's cheap and easily accessible and start acknowledging what it actually is (a luxury hobby that we *get* to play but don't *have* to play), the better off this "community" will be.

Stuff/things
🔵Magic is seen as a T(rading)CG. It's not. It's very much a C(ollectible)CG now. The difference seems minor, but it's major.
Research the rises and falls of sports cards to prepare yourself accordingly. Lot of parallels.
And yes, it's (still) a luxury hobby.
