Iāve had my periods of high & low note counts and sure I get that itās nice to feel *appreciated* for the stuff you post but, really, we shouldnāt be doing this for anyone but ourselves. At the end of the day, itās a hobby. Itās the sims. Itās a game. Iāve found that when I just posted the stuff I liked, I was having more fun with it even if there was little to no engagement. Plus, most of the time, your friends or the people who follow you can tell when you get excited over something youāre working on - they feed off of that excitement - and the notes follow suit. So if youāre getting wound up over note count, or if lack of ālikesā and āreblogsā is making you upset it might be helpful to step away from it for a while. On a related note, can we also not dictate what other people are doing with their blogs? Itās their space, and, frankly, none of your business. If you like a post that has whatever number of notes on it, reblog it! Comment on it! Like it! It doesnāt mean other people have to do that too.
