I sat up at 4AM fucking sobbing because I was genuinely scared to face the community without that 24 hour emblem.

That's how hard even I tried. I can't imagine how hard those that finished it tried.

In case the Top 1% forgot what it was like to try and fail.

Does that sound dramatic? Sure, but behind that was weeks of preparation, time I took off of work to play and do my thing.

That's how this community makes me feel as a creator sometimes.

That's why I've had MANY thoughts of jumping ship.

I'm not wrong for being sick of the gatekeeping and uppity bullshit.

So shut up, and listen to the people.
