有时候我会想，
我们加入 VATPRC，是为了什么？
是为了模拟飞行的热爱？是为了服务的成就感？
是为了在这个虚拟的空间里，感受到一份真实的信任与协作？
我想说，我依然相信这些东西是存在的。只是，有时它们被忽略了，被误解了，甚至被人有意无意地践踏了。
我不是完美的，也不是来和谁对立的。
我只是一个希望把事做好的人——希望让飞行员得到尊重，让管制员拥有支持，让这个组织不是靠沉默维持，而是靠沟通进步。
我知道，有人对我有误会，甚至故意远离我。
但我不会后退，也不会放弃相信：VATPRC 值得更好。
如果你也觉得现在有些东西该改变，
那么请不要只是沉默。请说话、提问、协助、守望。
因为每一个选择发声的人，都是这个组织未来的一部分。
也许我无法改变一切。
但我至少想成为那个不把“无声”当成默认、不把“对错”交给人情决定的人。

Sometimes I ask myself —
Why did we join VATPRC in the first place?
Was it for the love of simulation?
The sense of service?
Or just the hope that in this virtual space, we could find something real — trust, teamwork, community?
I still believe those things exist.
But I also know they’ve sometimes been overlooked, misunderstood, or even quietly pushed aside.
I’m not perfect, and I’m not here to fight anyone.
I’m just someone who genuinely wants to make things better —
To help pilots feel respected, to give controllers the support they need,
To see this division grow not by silence, but by conversation.
I know some people may disagree with me —
Some stay silent, some walk away.
But I won’t back down from the belief that VATPRC can be more than what it is now.
If you’ve ever felt the same — that something isn’t working,
Please don’t keep it to yourself. Speak up, ask questions, offer support, or simply stay present.
Because every voice that chooses to be heard becomes part of the future.
Maybe I won’t be the one to change everything.
But at the very least, I want to be the one who didn’t stay quiet,
Who didn’t let comfort outweigh what’s right.
