I’m super thankful to be able to get 2nd place in one of the first One Piece Regionals with the new Serial Luffy. It was a great tournament and I had a blast playing against some great players. I’ve been fortunate enough to lock in a sale for my ungraded Luffy for $30,300 earlier this week. While some people might have better deals lined up, I wanted to help other top 8 competitors make more informed decisions regarding the sale of their prize cards.

9-1 for a 12th place finish in Swiss with PY Rosinante in the Mesquite Regional! Shoutout to @XellTweets for hooking me up with Endgame sleeves for me to use today! Hopefully they continue to be lucky tomorrow. Vergo is bait 😈

I’m not afraid to admit it anymore. I love me a $10 drink. Coffee, matcha, boba, any type of fuckin dirt water idgaf. I’m performative and I’m proud

@tallglassobeer All I hear is zoro 🥲

no disrespect to OP, Hakari is one of my faves from JJK this voice isn't even remotely how it should sound. I've been waiting years for the Kashimo fight. Yuri is awesome but there is no way he fits Hakari

@MilkGoesInLast sad react 🙁

after much reflection i do not feel very poggers right now

Bro would be going crazy rn

Hey everyone — I’ve been seeing a lot of really weird posts about Kyedae and me that are creating false narratives and spreading unnecessary hate — it’s really disheartening to see. We parted on completely mutual terms, and we still care deeply about each other. It honestly hurts so much to see her being attacked when we BOTH supported each other through insanely difficult times. I also quit playing pro of my own accord and was never influenced by her to quit. People’s goals can change over time, and that is just what happened with me. In a healthy relationship, there should never be comparisons about who sacrificed more or gave more — that mindset is immature and helps nobody. All I ask is that you please respect Kyedae as a person and respect the decision we made together. This kind of pointless “drama” is exactly why having a relationship in the public eye can be so draining. She is also still dealing with ongoing health issues, which makes the negativity being spread even more heartbreaking and unfair. Thank you for understanding, and once again, please respect our decision.

I remember now why I stopped playing this game

I love my wife more than anything. She has helped mold me into exactly the man I want to be. She makes me excited to spend everyday in awe of her gorgeous presence. I hope that everyone can one day experience unencumbered happiness like she provides me.

Life’s biggest secret is you can go from “it’s so over” to “we’re so back” with 1 single stare in the mirror at any given time Doesn’t matter how much life brings you down. You can always get back up and be the greatest you’ve ever been This is absolutely factual. You can evolve into the best version of yourself anytime you want. This was in fact engrained in all of our minds since we were babies. It’s a rule of the universe Every superhero is faced with every hardship known to mankind until they eventually turn into the superhero Every anime/kids tv show we all watched they evolve into the best version of themselves Dragon ball -> Super Saiyan Yugioh -> Yami Yugi Power rangers -> morph It’s engrained in our souls. I went from retired to 3 time champion in 1 year. TLDR: if ur feeling down look in the mirror and tell that fucker who runs this shit today

first 2 drinks don’t count if you have anxiety, they just turn you into a normal person

My daughter told me there’s a small get together at school on Friday. I asked her “how small?” She said "Just you, me, and the principal”😭😭

A sign your nervous system is healing is that you start to romanticize life again. You notice sunlight spilling across your kitchen counter. You feel your own laughter. You slow down enough to taste your coffee, to watch the rain, to actually be present. It’s not about life being perfect, it’s about feeling safe enough in your own body to see the beauty again.

9-1 in CoreTCG’s Regional in LA with UP Luffy! I’m glad I ran back the deck and I definitely got rewarded 😁 Congrats to @XellTweets for his win with Rayleigh! We had a fun match during round 8

Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.

10-0 in PPG's Online Regional with UP Luffy! I promised to ask to transfer the Limitless points to @maebatsu for sleeping in so I could get in off waitlist. Shoutout to @GTS0806 for the decklist after his placements in OP12! But now its time to start my Riftbound testing journey 👀

If babies understood embarrassment, most of them would never learn to walk or speak because of the amount of failure required to improve. This was one of our first lessons in life but somehow, we forgot

Missed September SMH gotta lock in for November
