Is it just me thats finally realized that things can't like this forever. I can't listen and be a big fan of AIO forever. Odyssey Nerds won't live forever. I can't be devoted to Odyssey like this forever. And honestly, AIO can't live forever. I have come to realize that too I will have to move on. Life won't wait for me. Eventually I will have to get a job, start college, get a full time job, and do other things that life asks for. So is it just me who has realized this?

Nope. I started living it about a year ago xP

I mean...that's just kinda how things are. You get into something, it runs its course, you have to move on to other things because God takes you new places and uses you in different ways.

But then when life gets hard and you're tired and stressed, you get to a point where you remember "hey, that thing I used to like! Let's see if it's still good because my brain needs a break". And you rediscover it and fall in love with it all over again and notice things about it that you never noticed before. You may even rejoin the fandom that you were inactive in, because you love the thing so much all over again.

Experiences like that make the existential crisis worth it, I think.

I have had this moment all week. I'm about ready to move on from all this.

I remember when AIO stopped entertaining me, it actually kinda sucked. It gets me in the pit of my stomach sometimes, thinking about listening to an episode and then realizing that it won't hold my interest for more than a few seconds. The laughter it roused from me years ago will never be forgotten, though, and my children will listen to them for sure.
