@hownottodraw seeing you (and a couple others were making a game helped me realise that I could and should too!
I want to make something about hope and a future for humanity based on progress and niceness
It started as search for hope after a terrible year, for Earth. But it turns out I quite like figuring out code too a lot! (after only a few days in, this will probably change)
A year ago I tried to be positive about myself as things were getting better for me. Calling myself the most handsome and moral man alive.
Elevating praise so high it became a form of criticism. So obviously flawed an image it didn't reflect any positivity back at me. A reality of designed obsolescence, made to fail.
Which was why I started to fail. Why I became a bad human
And it needs to change
So today I'm hopeful. Things will change. Because I'm strong enough to make them change
Late night thoughts for no one, but which I which need saying
I've started a habit of reflexively saying I'm a bad human. Saying it was reflex and I thought was there to only shield myself from other people thinking that before I was able to say it
But a friend called me on itm asked me what makes me bad. And I had no answer. I actually think I'm a good person, but I just. kept. on. saying. it. Realised that by bad I might mean not productive. But the words we use about ourselves shape reality
@hownottodraw UGH, that took so long to write. I really don't want to feel like I'm imposing on people on the internet when they might already get so much unwanted and possibly negative attention
I'm always scared of making people sad on the internet. Hopefully intentions come through!
@hownottodraw Had no idea this site was a thing until your post, but it seems really nice and low fi
Relatively new to your stuff, but it's been a help to my brain with life getting weird. I'm sad to see you've been going through stuff yourself. Offers to talk from strangers aren't so helpful, but as someone who you've helped a little bit, helping you too, just a little bit, would mean a lot
I've lost a lot of connections lately with people, it would be nice to make a new one
