I'd rather see you ramble about your process than see people attempt to be deep only for them to have the most basic perspectives. It's nicer to just get a window into someone's life rather than hear various too-online takes about things people are unaffected by...
I never really thought about it that way and it's nice to hear. I keep thinking like "oh, I'm not contributing to all these very important conversations, so I should probably just be quiet since I have nothing of value to say."
I tend to think about my own posts the same way, but at the same time, as more of a lurker than a poster now, there are so many people who I feel connected to or motivated by simply because they share a bit of their lives with us.
I like seeing other people still living their lives. And when it comes to you, it's also nice to see you getting back to art (something I should do eventually) and otherwise enjoying life while still having goals and plans for the future. Also rooting for you and glad your job/boss appreciates you!
It is nice to see, personally, but I guess in the current climate I worry people will think I'm ignoring what's going on by not contributing to...all of that. Dumb Twitter mentality I need to shake. And thank you! I hope you do find the spark to get into art again, though I know it can be very hard.
Twitter mentality is so hard to shake 😭 I'm constantly haunted by the need to preface everything I say with "I know this isn't always the case," or "I know other things can impact this, but" or "this is just how I feel and nothing wrong with you if you feel different" etc. 🥲
Eh, this post was a combo of bad day and feeling like I contribute nothing to all the very important shit going on so I should be quiet, but that's kinda dumb. Still gonna take a break from here, but just for the sake of the brain health. I've been a bit too online recently.
Nah, it's not you at all, it's been a whole lot of things. I used to pretty regularly take breaks from SNS so I wasn't so terminally online. I haven't done that in a long time and I realized being online so much is negatively impacting me again, so it's time for a break.
