D'aw, you guys are too kind to me. <3 I just agree with what Pon-3 said up there. It's important to take care of each other. Lord knows I've relied on this community (and especially on Pon-3) to pick me back up way too many times, and I want to give back as much of that as possible.
Also Jax, I've been there too, man. It's super easy to look all around you and see so much amazing fan content being created all over the place, but whenever you try to contribute something it just never kinda measures up to what you look up to, and then you don't even quite know where it is you should try to invest all your effort. In the end it all boils down to why you want to do things in the first place, and what you hope to achieve with that.
Of course, the allure of attention and praise can sometimes be overwhelming, but pursuing them only ends in confusion and frustration most of the time. This is probably the lamest reply you can get to your current problem, but in the end you should be doing things because you love doing them. If you're having fun you'll eventually become good at whatever it is you're doing, and the rest will follow. Of course, most of us want to get
there RIGHT FREAKING NOW (wherever
there is), and though most of the time it feels like you're getting nowewhere, when you stop and look back upon everything you've done, you won't believe how far you've come. It's super easy to get carried away by the "why am I doing this, again?" funk, so it's always a good thing to pause for a while, sit a little to the side, take a breath, remember why you started doing this in the first place, and dive back in with your main goal in mind.
Best of luck overcoming this, Jax. We're here for you whenever you need us.
Omg you guys, my English is deteriorating at an alarming rate, halp! D:
