(I have her post bookmarked for a reason!)
oh i’ll cry..
if my words resonate with or help at least one person, that’s genuinely so much more than i could hope for! super super happy that my post resonated with you!
This is so silly.. but I see so many cute builds on Pinterest and Youtube for Animal Crossing islands.. and I feel discouraged because it's really difficult for me to make my island look THAT good, too.. I wanna be a build expert just like them!!! T^T It's not fair ><
It's annoying.. I put a lot of work into my island as it is. As someone who grew up with NL and such it's extremely hard to decorate the exterior of the island. You couldn't do that in NL if I recall. So.. I'm just feelin' a little discouraged, that's all ;w;
this isn’t silly at all! i honestly relate to this so much. the amount of times i’ve been in the mood to get back into acnh and finally try to decorate my island, only to search up inspo and immediately get intimidated and discouraged by other people’s incredible builds and creativity is insane.. it’s one thing to tell others that their islands are beautiful no matter what, it’s another to believe it about your own.
i wish you could see your abilities and your island through my eyes, because i think it’s wonderful! i can definitely tell that you’ve put a lot of time and effort into it! this tbtwc really showed me just how true my post Suguri quoted is. i thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone’s islands during hide and seek, no matter how decorated or undecorated they were, how many builds there were (if any), etc etc. everyone’s islands were so unique and beautiful, including yours! they were an honour and a delight to get to see!
i know how discouraging it can be to look at everyone else’s beautiful islands and builds and feel like anything you’ll do will be inferior to them, but we are truly our own worst critics. we are not competing with other people or their islands! at the end of the day, it only really matters what
we think about our island. if
we like it. if you want to try and improve at terraforming, there are so many speed builds and tutorials on youtube! you could always watch those and try to recreate them, to try to get a better understanding of the mechanic, how it works, and all you can do with it! and if you end up creating something you actually like, or even just have fun doing it, that’s even better!
but there is absolutely nothing wrong with your island or your abilities the way they are now! terraforming and decorating can be hard and overwhelming, but you don’t have to be as good as the “build experts” you see on social media. you just have to be as good as
you, and you are already plenty talented and good enough.
gotta love it out here, really
reactions but what I said I meant to be sincere. I didn’t expect anyone to cheer me on during the streamed sessions but people on all teams were really kind and supportive. I wanted to thank my team especially for being patient with me (I don’t know who reacted aside from maybe one; I was afraid to look and deleted my comment on the discord). I’d edit my post but I don’t want to mess up my entry >.< I think I’m starting to feel the effects of staying up too late too >.<
