Taking a Break

Recently my Psychologist has helped me realize my issues with mild Depression, self-confidence, and and how I tie my sense of self-worth to my creations.

Unfortunately my art isn’t good enough for other people’s investment to be a given, and and I’m still not sure if I’m skilled enough to apply the advice and criticism everyone has generously been giving me (Furthermore, that advice only applies to my original character art and doesn’t help me with my writings, narrative, or fancomics that are equally forgotten)

There is some good news though!! Instead experiencing another episode, I managed to keep my motivation and passion...but since these things aren’t enough on their own, I think I will be taking a break from uploading art until I’m good enough to get people interested on their own. My blog will still be active without a doubt--I just don’t know how long it will be until anyone sees me upload works, both original and fandom related.

But thanks for all the support y’all have given me so far! It means the world!! 🌎💖

Confusion

Now I can't even tell the difference between an emotional breakdown and just being unfeeling.

I apologise for how pessimistic and wishy-washy I've been on this site. I'll be sure to keep these sort of things to myself in the future.

Question

How do I get people interested in my original work? I know that my fandom posts and reblogs can get hundreds of notes easily, but my original stuff rarely gets more than a few comments if I ask for them.

I know that I’m a smaller and less talented blog than many people I’ve featured over the past couple of days--but in case it wasn’t obvious, its their original stuff that I love the most!!

Change of Plans

Okay, so last month was kind of a mess for me and I’m not going to have a repeat of that “negativity nonsense” this month. SO, I’m gonna do my best to be active and make some progress with myself.

And what does that mean, you may ask?

Well, POSITIVITY IS IN!!! ❤💖 COMMUNICATING WITH MUTUALS/FOLLOWERS IS IN!!! 😃👍 ART TRADE/COLLABS/APPRECIATION IS IN!!! 🎨✏🖌🎁

We all have to start somewhere, so let’s all make an effort to be our best selves!!!
