Dear Stardew Valley....

I don't know where to begin so i will start with the first one. I started playing Stardew Valley on April 2022, brings me back good memories back when my mom gave me my first Nintendo Gameboy playing Harvest Moon with 0 clue at all, figuring out how to even buy a chicken. Oh how things were simpler those days...

Stardew Valley was there for me when i was on a very rough spot in life. With bad things going on in my life at that time, Stardew Valley gave me a sense of living my "previous life". It gives me purpose such as finding ways to farm, completing quests. I will never forget the journey to get to the lowest floor of the mine, 300 skull cavern floor dives, tapping oak for kegs, golden walnuts hunt and god damn tiling ice floor on the mine to find marbles. Slowly i began reaching perfection level completion, i was committed to reach the perfection and i finally did on September 2023.

I jumped back in to play recently to check the new 1.6 updates, played halfway through the content and trying to achieve perfection again. I went to the summit again when its winter.

I learnt from Stardew Valley, whatever it is going on in your life, there is always a hope even when the path is difficult. The obstacles in my path defines the path and the hard part is you have to keep going.

Stardew Valley is an art, love letter, and a masterpiece.

Thank you ConcernedApe.

It's on you now.
