I stopped playing Minecraft completely for my mental health and to focus more in my life. Sometimes I’d try to play, but it doesn’t feel the same as what I felt years ago. I still get this nauseating feeling whenever I see certain things here or anything about Minecraft, it’s hard to explain. Despite all this, I’m happy this time capsule is back.
I just wish I could have connected with more people back then, but I’m happy to all the friendships I made in this server.
Grinding on many leaderboards took a toll on myself. I was definitely desperate of getting the feel of achieving something and being something worthy in my life, this was when BrokenLens pretty much saved me, finding a place in the community. After all this grinding, I needed time to recover. Getting the bad feeling of keeping up leaderboard spots and constantly worrying about being “left out” has burnt me out completely. I needed to let go, enjoy other things instead of being fixated about all that. I still used to think being on the leaderboards is cool lol
Sans from Undertale was (and maybe still) my comfort character, using that persona in my BrokenLens username.It was very stupid lol, but I did enjoy being known as theSansTheSkel3t0n. Honestly I kind of lost sense of my true self, had a somewhat identity crisis.
My life has been rough throughout the years, struggling to find something I wanna do in the future. I made stupid choices in the past, did many things I regret and sorry for, but I’m slowly trying to improve.
But haha finally no more leaderboard grinding, silly me right Anyway I just wanted to type what I was feeling and figured maybe here is the best place to let it all out, and to those curious to what I’ve been to
Extra (if you’re still interested)
After BrokenLens had shut down years ago, I was absolutely broken. From that point on, I tried different minecraft servers.
I started playing The Hive more, competing in their new BlockParty minigame, trying to recreate an old feeling.
Sure I made new friends there, but nothing could compare to what I experienced in BrokenLens, no hate to The Hive though.
After the Hive, I finally got my hands off of competitive play. It was like dopamine to me, and I’m honestly proud of myself trying to change who I am.
I admit I still resent my past self for wasting so much precious time and probably much more. I’m still thankful for the good times that happened though, and now I’m trying to make up for loss time.I could have been a better student, take better care self of myself, been more productive, become someone with better things in life, and maybe achieved my dream career.
If you’ve reached at the end, I appreciate you having the time to read all this <3
