3 years. 3 years since I completed my only master work.
Yet in the time since, my real life has expanded so much, and I stand now in an area of influence, with growing notoriety and public presence, at least in my local film community. I have close friends now. A private and professional life.
Trolling is fun, don't get me wrong. I love it. I do it outside of the internet, even. But it's time I let go of Jake. (Of course, I'm sure many will say "I knew it!".)
Not even because I want to, but because I just don't have time for him any longer. I had all these plans for him, like a webcomic, or fanime… I have the means to do them, even.
