I’m on an not art related discord Server. It has an art channel thou, where I keep uploading some stuff from time to time. I’m known for my drawings in this community.
This happened in the art-channel yesterday:
Me: *posts a new drawing*
No response. as usual.
drawing beginner: *posts an drawing*
10 People (including me) comment on it, like it, encourage this person.
Randy (random dude): “I’ll rather like and comment this new art instead of Noji’s.” Me: “Outsch is it that bad?” Randy: “No quite the contrary! Your art is amazing! But you’re so good you don’t need encouragement.”
This....... is the worst thing I’ve ever heard. I may be quite happy with my art at the moment and this is the reason why I love to share it with you. But there where times I was not. Where I felt uncompfortable sharing my stuff. Even if other people said it’s wonderful. And people who are good at something (in the eyes of others) don’t deserve some praise because they don’t need it? Because they know that they’re good?
Bullshit.
Everyone deserves some praise and approval. Everyone deserves encourangement and likes. No matter how skilled they are.
So in case you haven’t heard it today: You are wonderful. It doesn’t matter if you’re drawing, writing, producing videos and/or music, if you’re crafting or whatever. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, advanced or proffessional. And it certainly doesn’t matter how many follower you have. Your work is amazing. Even if you don’t feel unsure at times about your works, let me assure you: There’s no need to feel unsure or uncompfortable. Because you enlighten everyone’s days with it. So keep it up as long as you have fun doing it. And don’t let anyone ever tell you, that you don’t deserve love, praise and everything good. Because you deserve it.
