I have something to say…

And it‘s been on my heart for a while. Since a few months (especially the last weeks) I am extremely frustrated with the game and the community. So many good people have left, everywhere is only drama to see, whether it be about adfly, CC-reuploading, the potential end of the sims as the whole series, etc, every little thing gets stigmatized and people make a huge drama out of it, and that even worse than how it used to be. I have very little fun with creating and taking pictures now (it‘s all good until I enter tumblr mostly, trust me). It makes me frustrated just to be here. My motivation gets devoured every time I log in, because it used to be such a fun place here, but now I almost only see negative things and it is really draining me. This all makes me wanna quit completely with the sims, creating and everything. It has been months, where I went to my PC with joy, and thought of doing something with the sims. I always forced myself to.

I have deleted almost all of my pictures, and only left very few which I like completely, because I also feel that my pictures never look the way that I want to, except for some exceptions, I never look at them and think „wow this is beautiful, I can look at it the whole day“ or something else. As soon as I post it, I wanna delete it. And no, that is absolutely not meant in a way to fish for compliments. I am just never satisfied with anything that I do. Anyways, that‘s something else to discuss. Also people get more greedy from day to day. I upload every month 16 items, and people still tell me, for example, that „I should make hair“, without a nice tone or anything. You guys know that I am always open for every suggestion, told in a respectful way, but as soon as it gets a demanding tone, I quit. I am not here to please everyone, and that is also another part why I am sick of the Sims for a while. I am no machine. I have my limits.

Numbers don‘t matter A BIT, people get too worked over notes, use them to compare themselves, etc. I have seen soooooo many posts last months, like „you matter if you are a small simblr and dont get many notes“. Guys, of course you do. Everyone of you matters, notes don‘t mean A THING. I deleted several posts now which hit some numbers, because what? It doesn‘t please me. It is just a number, I don‘t want more. I would love my own posts if they get 5 notes, if I would even start to like them in the first place. I struggle with everything I do so much. I don‘t like a post more because it has a bigger number count, or something else. And people argue about this so much, I don‘t really understand. Notes and followers don‘t equal talent or anything. You guys all do good and are important. It is so hard to describe, but I hope everyone understands what I mean.

Another example is my sister. She deactivated her tumblr with 18000 followers and some posts with over 5000 notes without a second thought, because she saw no point in it. It is just pictures posted on a social network site, and there are more important things in life than to get obsessed with the note count, or anything. It is just a hobby, and in RL happens sooo many bad or important things, and watching the news channel everyday, that is just more proof that things like health (mental and physical) and other topics matter so much more, than just a damn number. I mean, that number also increases with every comment, you could comment your own post a hundred times, it has then „100 Notes“ underneath the pic. It doesn‘t mean a thing, also not when you do it on your own, but when the 100 is out of hundred different people. it is just literally a digit underneath your post, you can‘t buy yourself food or something else by it. It has no further meaning or importance in life. Sorry for my blabbering, but english is not my mother language and I do a bit hard with expressing things how I mean them. All I wanna say in the end is, you are much more worth than how some people set the guidelines (whether if it is personal goals, or officially)

I would also like to unfollow some people (not because I don‘t like them anymore, it‘s the opposite way, I gave everyone a follow where I thought that they were nice and kind, and yes they all are still. But some just post way too much drama-related stuff and that really makes me more frustrated to be here, but I would also feel too bad when I unfollow someone, cause it sure as hell isn‘t anything personal. It is just related with some content they post)

Anyways, that is almost all I had to say. Some part of personal struggles, existential crisis with the blog, and with the community. I have also some more things on my mind, which I can‘t think of rn, but that‘s it. Thanks to everyone for listening, and congratulations if you managed to completely read all of this. I will still think about quitting, but I will need some time. Things would be different if the community as a whole will be a bit more like it was.
