How I feel with my posts

*This is my personal opinion. This is how I feel. I'm not asking for upvotes, but for helpful tips and comments.

Hello, it's me, Mercy Aircraft Corporation. A bronze member of simple planes community that been here for 1.6 years (3 years playing the game). I'm a smaller person in the community who builds small and simple mobile friendly builds on their apple phone and puts a bunch of lore into them. I'm not the best builder, but I try my best. The problem I have is that no one really take notice of my post. And when people do (Like when I ask for tips and creative criticism, also, its not all the time((thanks to those who do comment) take notice of me, no one bother to even comment on what I could do better. I don't usually care about this stuff, but when 36 people download my post and I ask in the description on how can I approve it and no one bothers to even reply, it kinda bothers me. If you are reading this, please understand my problem. I am not asking for everyone to comment or take notice of my post all the time, but for one, just one person to take notice once in a while. It makes me feel more determine to become a better builder.*


Dear former self and future self,

Long ago I was in you. A bronze user, desperate to make an impact on the community. You tried so hard to achieve your dream, asking and learning from others. But after a few years of attempts, you eventually gave up. You tried so hard, but just never seemed to hit the mark. So you faded from the site, forgotten.

A few years past and here we are now. 9K and moving up the ranks. You have sowed the seeds of a growing forum series, with others even adding to the forums. Your building skills have advanced, able to hold it's ground against others in the hottest. You have achieved 50 upvotes on a build, 100 followers, and surpassed gold and silver. You have built up a small group of supporters and made many friends among the site and many discord servers. We have grown and matured into a beautiful person.

You were always so worried about making an impact, and to be honest, we will probably never know. There is no doubt we have impacted someone, but we will never know the extent of it. While you were no so specific in your goal, I know you meant to make a major impact the of people of the site and possibly there lives. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Maybe it will reveal itself in the future.

Now, to my future self. Look back onto this moment and all the events that happen since then. Would my younger self look up to you? Would we be proud of who you blossomed into? Are you happy with yourself and your actions? Are you happy with the person you become? With the help of others, we have set you up and made the path of your life a little more clear. Make us proud, make me proud, and make yourself proud.

Sincerely, your former self.

    me to my past self: (take notes mods, this is NOT harassing anybody else on the site)


    go and cry in a corner you cringy perfectionist trash who thinks he knows everything that exists in the world and claims has an iq of over 250, dont even bother growing up like this, just freaking do something else than being a crybaby piece of penguin poo, now stop crying like a toddler even though you are 10 years old like some weird time traveller with a big ego who thinks everything is possible, everyone knows you as an optimist but in reality you're just a severed piece of a donkey's ear, now go cry in your own nose.


    (again, this is N O T trying to harass/bully/etc. anyone on the site, i am simply trying to tell how bad my past self (before i was 12) was.)
