It matters if you want it to matter, what you decide it means, is what it means to you, no one else can make that decision, and you can't make other's decisions.
It has an arbitrary value, because we have something to prove, maybe, or something to live for. We keep going, making it raise, higher and higher.
But why? Do we want to leave a legacy, and even if so, what kind of legacy is this? Has the idea of a legacy stooped to this level?
Or is it for comfortability, the more we have, the more we feel as if we fit in, and the more we can exclude those who don't.
Some of us, we go, to the point of no return, the point where nothing can change our minds, we are glued to the possibilities this promised power can give us.
Am I trapped, are we all trapped? If it doesn't matter to you, is that wrong? Should we matter. It's only a number. Post count, is only a number. But why does it mean so much to some people, that they devote years just trying to achieve a goal. A goal based around, statistics on this game?
Don't let it ruin you, this isn't why we're here, but it's why I'm here. Because it matters to me, even when I don't want it to. I try to convince myself it doesn't matter, but things, things that are collectible, they make me want more.
So we shouldn't, we shouldn't care, and we shouldn't spend our time just biding away the possibilities that were laid out for us, for you.
We all have our faults, is this one of yours?

Very thoughtful post. In the time I've borrowed this account I've sort of went with the theory that I have no reason to really grow attached to this number because I didn't help it the majority of the way. Though still, I feel like as I contribute to it it matters more and more to me that it *gets somewhere* - to another milestone and another and another. Most of all it's kind of an arbitrary thing as I waste my time here, but making this account more like "my own", I bear increasing responsibility for everything. |

Am I okay? What is okay, there is no substance that this is how we should live our lives, mindlessly contributing to things we would despise without our emotions.

i agree with keel.
in my opinion, it doesn't matter. leaving roblox and rt has only left me more confident and happy with my life. i've become less addicted and able to focus on my future. this place really clouded my thinking.
you're a really brilliant writer anyways op. i hate how you waste your time here but i like how yo write, seriously. |

tbh, i disagree there is substance there even for the kid who spends their lives posting on this forum everyday. is it the way they should live their lives? yeah, if they truly enjoy it like ventus did, but if it's mindless contribution that's where id say they probably don't even have emotions in the first place lol.
if it's a joke my bad, im dense yo. |

"if it's a joke my bad"
less of a joke and more of a "i have no idea what i'm saying or implying"
