Today was a totally normal day. I was browsing GBAtemp, wondering what news there was in Gaming today, what type of Blog should I made, should I finally get around to play Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door? As I was about to answer my questions, I spot something in the little news area on my portal.
My head turns and spots it. The day my life on GBAtemp would change.
XP Points are here.
I dropped everything. I dropped my mouth, I dropped my mouse, I dropped my Sweaty Icebreakers, I dropped any sort of consideration to play Paper Mario, I dropped my dreams of getting my like count to 200.
It was time for me to be reborn.
I quickly clicked on my profile picture to see my level.
"Oh boy, I bet I could be level 10! Nah, your hopes are too high. Probably 7. Or 5. Yeah, I think it's 5!" I thought to myself. After making pointless blogs and putting my insight on countless articles, I had to be a level 5 or up.
I was feeling so happy and hopeful until the little box popped up and crushed all my hopes. I was a level 2. A. LEVEL. 2.
Everything went silent.
I couldn't believe it. What about my likes? What about my messages? What about my blogs?
This shock quickly disappeared in RAGE. I needed to get myself out of this slum. I can't walk around GBAtemp with a LEVEL 2 stamped right under my 7th Grade Title. I gotta get more XP!
I mashed my mouse so much on the link showing how to gain XP. My heart sank.
Blogs weren't on there.
It felt everything I was doing was crushed. All that time planning on what I should put in my blog wasted.
"No one liked your blogs anyway. People hate you for making them anyway, dude. It's OK." I hear myself saying.
But deep down, I tried to deny that. I told myself that there was someone who read my blogs and got a chuckle out of them. After all, I just wanted people to get a little smile out of my blogs. I want people to look at my avatar and think of me as "the funny guy." I wanted to be liked for once, but it just never seemed to happen.
I scrolled down to look at my comments on my blogs. My eyes were opened. I could see that many despised my blogs. What's the point of making these and telling these supposed "funny" stories when no one think they're funny.
That's when I realized that everything I was doing, was pointless. I wasn't contributing to this site. I wasn't being part of the community by making these damn blogs. I was just upsetting it. My hope of getting people to like me turned against me.
No wonder I get so much hate.
My heart shattered, I clicked the blog icon and decided to create one last entry. If people don't like me, that's fine. But I don't want to make anyone unhappy in this amazing community.
I am laying down my crappy blogs to try to contribute to this community. I will try creating reviews to help people learn more about games they're interested in. I will double check anything I post to make sure it does not offend anyone. I don't want to be a lowly level 2 making blogs nobody likes. I want to be a Temper.
