I've learned a lot about pointing out too many mistakes. I'm sorry if this ends up ridiculously long; as you know, I like to talk a lot IRL and here. But I've learned a lot about pointing out mistakes, and the biggest thing is that it's not the right thing to do if you do it constantly, even if it feels like you are either trying to help someone else or take a long hard look in the mirror.

My grammy's mom passed away when she was 10, and she absolutely hated her stepmom. Why? Because nothing was ever good enough for her. Even though my grammy worked really hard to be a good kid, her stepmom Rosy was always pointing out her flaws.

My mom does the exact same thing. Her constantly pointing out my every flaw and talking about it forever makes me feel undervalued, like I'm not good enough. Just because you are doing it to yourself doesn't mean that it's not harmful.

I understand that you probably saw the things you were doing wrong and just wanted to tell us them, but pointing out all your mistakes like that makes me worried about you. Do you plan on publishing a page with all the good things about you anytime soon? Didn't think so. So making that page is an extremely negative action, because it's not balanced out.

I have to admit, sometimes you are a little too political for a diep.io wikia, and hey, we've all noticed that you can sometimes want a little too much power, but has any of that caused this wikia to come crashing down or everybody to hate you? No way. So you gotta stop being so negative, because a) we've returned to a really good state at the wikia and b) you're the best leader I've ever seen.

Back to the point about positive things, I truly want to know: Why aren't you pointing out those? Why aren't you telling yourself, "I'm nice, I love this wikia, I have good friends, everyone at the wikia enjoys my company."? Why, Ursuul, why? You know all the good things about you. Keep that in mind, and you will be a good leader.

I'm sorry if you feel as if you spend too much time at this wikia, because that's not true at all. If you need time away from here, you should go spend it. I know how hard it is to keep away from the computer sometimes, but if you really need to seperate yourself just think about other things that'll give you happiness.

And see? Look at this big old speech I'm typing out yet again. Everyone around this wikia gets a little too serious sometimes. Can we all relax for a second and remember we're here just because we all love a game with little red and blue tanks and polygons? Just think about that for a second. We need to keep that at our core, not messages of complex, real-life governments or competitions for things.

I get too serious, too. I can stand here all day and night pointing out my flaws, mulling them over, shouting from the rooftops how I get too personally attached here, or how hyperactive I am, or even how I swear too much. Does that get anything done, though? No. It doesn't make this wikia better if I do that at all. Telling myself how great I am, however, will motivate me to do great things, things that will benefit everyone here.

And sometimes being longwinded isn't bad, as long as you have an important message. Did anyone tell Martin Luther King Jr. that he was longwinded when he gave his "I Have a Dream" speech? Of course not. He went down in history for his message, not how many minutes long it was. If someone said they didn't like the speech because of it's length, that would be just as ridiculous as saying they didn't like it because his hair was too floofy or something.

So if you need to get away from here for a while, by all means, go. You have to learn how to trust us, because even though the wikia wasn't as good as it is now when you were gone, we could stil handle it. We had rules, solid staff, and we were figuring out how to rebuild the place. Think of the positives in things. Think of the silver lining, not the cloud.

Sympathetically,
