Update: Cherish Life

I was going to write this on the 19th. That day, I received my DBA paperwork in the mail, found a person to do the prints for most of my shirts & the the first person I wanted to send a gift box to not only told me I could, but told me they would be sending me something in return. I didn't really do much that day, but it was such a blessing. It was full of victories, answer prayers, love & peace.

Today, rather yesterday now because it's 2:57 in the morning was quite the opposite. It wasn't a bad day, but I had to fight for my peace. Even with that, my mentor, she emailed me the first rendition of a contract I'll be using to buy art from artists. This brings me to another topic...

Kentaro Miura

Kentaro Miura was the creator of Berserk, a manga that influenced & inspired me. He passed away on the sixth of May of this year. He was fifty-four years of age. Now, before I continue, I do not recommend anyone read Berserk. I'm just expressing my emotions & inner thoughts.

I don't know too much about Kentaro, & I don't think anyone who didn't know him personally can say otherwise. I believe most of the world found out he died yesterday. He was very closed off, so I can see how. His manga, however, was something I treasured for quite some time. I was consumed by it, tell anyone who I knew that was into anime or manga to read it's manga form, watch the movies & the old anime show for it. I watched hour long character analysis videos on YouTube, case studies & more. I recall posting Guts' first fight with Zodd on my Instagram page. I believe I lost some followers & shocked many with what they had saw. I was a fan that truly loved this creation of his. It was one of the best pieces of art I've ever experienced. From the black & white artwork to story, it was just amazing. There were panels that belonged as pieces to décor walls. The story was of the romance tragedy genre with huge influences from philosophy. I'm trying my best to explain why I liked it so much, but the words aren't coming to me as well I would like...to be honest, I haven't touched Berserk for quite some time now. It truly is a great piece, but where my heart is in all of this is that, Kentaro Miura was a blessing & he has now passed away. I can't imagine the suffering he had to endure while working on what's basically a book with extremely detailed art, all written and hand drawn by himself, to please fans...it's painful. I hope that in his final moments, he experienced some form of peace. I don't know if he knew how much he was appreciated & loved, but I do hope he did. I hope he didn't die a lost soul...I hope his family is okay. I don't know what else to say, but I wanted to share this. I believe most of the world found out he died yesterday. He was very closed off, so I can see how.
