I guess it's time for a somewhat personal post...
I've been pushing myself every day to keep working on translating Itadaki Street 2, because I would really love to see it fully playable in English someday, but also for another reason...
I feel like people probably won't care about me much unless I have some accomplishment I can show and say "I made this!", and working on this project has given me a reason to believe I might actually be worth something...
I ... don't really feel comfortable backing off or dropping it, though? I worry that I'd end up feeling guilty about not doing enough and letting down everybody who has been working on it with me, and also just wouldn't know what else I should be doing...
I have basically no self-esteem whatsoever, and feel awkward and anxious asking to work on something with anybody else, so ... having something that I can contribute to and feel confident that I can do is something I don't think I could let go of right now...
@Raspberryfloof Although it might feel like it, your worth isn't dependent on finishing the translation. It's a good goal to have but it's not a requirement to be of "value".
You're good by yourself. I like you. 💜
I know I don't talk about much else, anymore, because... I've kind of let this project entirely consume my life, to the point where I haven't been taking care of myself at all some days...
