I really cant express all the emotions celeste has made me feel, but I can say that I am so grateful this game exists. When I originally beat the base game and got all strawberries about 2 years ago, I was very happy with the achievement I made and felt satisfied leaving it there. That being said I am so glad I picked this game back up to play the extra content, At first glance I said, "this is too hard for me" and left it there, but then 2 years later I decided "why not try". I am so thankful my past self made that decision. I completed all of the B and C sides while slowly chipping away at Farewell. Eventually I had completed all of the games extra levels besides farewell. This happened to line up with Farewell's half-way point where there is a massive spike in difficulty. Wave dashes were no problem for me, I had watched the speedruns of this game quite often so I already knew how, but wave dashes where only a sliver of the challenge that Farewell poses. At this point I was fully determined. i had made it this far, why stop now. I was truly starting to feel the pressure of the level and at points doubted myself, but I kept coming back to my mindset when I started this whole thing, "why not". There is no reason I can't beat this level. Eventually I had made it to the last room. It took about 3 months to just get to this point but I was finally there. and this room alone... took me about 3 weeks. When I finally made it to the very end I cried like a baby through the whole final cutscene, but I wouldn't change a single thing this game has made me feel. This experience has caused so many emotions for me. This game has helped me cope with real life issues for fucks sake. This game means so so so much to me. I am so grateful for the journey it brought me on. <3
