i feel like what some people don’t realize is that when i’m sending them my art, i’m sending them my soul. i’m trusting them with a piece that i made and put my heart into because i have faith in them to see it the way i do and support me. i expect the same thing back that i would give them if they were to send me art; praise, compliments, pointing things out in the art piece so they feel seen and validated. i very rarely get that back and it’s discouraging. is my art that bad? does it offend you? could you not even spare more than 2 seconds writing me something genuinely meaningful to your friend? sometimes i wonder why i put effort into things that i don’t receive back.
