I don't know if you know the entire history of 2015, but it was a very stressful year for me, with big changes. Big changes that I was having trouble really coming to grips with. My brain hadn't adjusted at all, I was still sitting in a room that was draining of my possessions but that for some reason I couldn't really comprehend that things were coming to an end.
So one day in early May 2015, I downloaded episodes of this TV show I had heard about. I thought I was with it because I had watched Adventure Time, but apparently there was an even newer thing. And that show was Steven Universe. Somehow, through a weird alchemy of cognition, it ignited something in my brain. Suddenly, I woke up every morning at 8 AM with the burning realization that I was in a new and changing world. It was this edgy, almost surreal feeling because months or even years of shock had worn off. Its hard to explain it, in retrospect, why watching Steven Universe changed so much for me. But for some reason, it did kind of shake me out of my shock. I owe Steven Universe a lot for that.
And at the beginning, because I was torrenting it over a slow connection, I was getting like a few 10 minute episodes a day. It was seriously a big thrill when another episode completed.
