Of course I cosplay for more reason than a facebook friend, but I get disheartened along with suffering with depression. When one of the main people encouraging me to do this cosplay disappears, I just don't know if I feel it worth continuing. Sure I would love to do it again no matter if I get said encouragement, but for the amount of work that was required last year, I don't know if I really want to go through that this year, even with the new equipment (assuming I can even get my other friend to help this year, since it is almost impossible to do full body paint on yourself without help). It's not like it is a typical cosplay where you put cloths, wig, and a little facial makeup on. Part of the reason I was still considering it was because I felt obligated for the FF6 photoshoot and now that this happened I don't feel so obligated.
Just something I have to consider. I'm not going to do anything I can't put my heart into.
