I just woke up today, thinking that I would stop posting things on these platforms. I don't like the feeling of having no communication with the people who are looking at my art, and what is going on in their minds, when they look at it. It's like screaming for help, but no one is answering. How I'm supposed to do things to make myself visible, and most important, make visible the beautiful things that exist in yourself.
I'm tired of thinking that my money is going to save my life or give me all I need, when that is only a tool made necessary for living. They forced us to depend on that just to fucking exist, to fucking live.
Fuck the money, man. If I die of poverty, I'll die, but at least I'm going to be true to myself.

I definitely relate a lot to what you're saying, I'm sorry that you're struggling with it. I've always been a deeply broken and isolated person obsessed with art, trying to desperately connect in some way. I've always felt like I'm going to end up homeless since all I've ever wanted to do is to be creative and meet like minded people. I don't cope with anything outside of that, everything else is too loud and overstimulating.
Unfortunately, sharing stuff online via social media or whatever is just a shitty and cold experience. If you're making art for yourself and not in attempt to be commercial, it's a lot harder for anyone to pay attention. Regardless, I've seen what you're saying and appreciate your genuine art. Hopefully that is helpful in some way lol.

It's been a wail since I posted this, and right now I'm seeing it. Thanks a lot for your words, and I'm grateful for connecting with you in some way; it gives me the strength to keep going. Now I know for sure, that the importance of doing art, is shearing it with the intention that was made.
I send you lots of love.
