if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are āowedā
Itās an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. Iāve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they canāt ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough
This feeds into the previous couple of posts - Iām happy to get my few likes per story, so itās funny to see these people complaining āI got 50 likes and only 1 reblog, this is so discouragingā, and then the next person is complaining āI got 200 likes and 50 reblogs but half of them didnāt leave a comment, this is so discouragingā, and I wonder what the threshold for contentment is there.
hey @flowerprose these are really beautiful tags
