life lately

it’s hard to put into words how hard it is for me to be an artist on social media lately, with all the things that have happened one after another (market saturation, the pandemic, NFT’s, AI bros, muskrat taking over twt and the ever changing algorithms, capitalism at large etc etc and there is also the family aspect lol) exhausting or depressing doesn’t encompass all of it.

but i just wanted to say, every now and then, it’s nice to be reminded that there are people out there who appreciate my art even when it feels like everything has been stacked against me. i can’t see myself doing anything else… and maybe that’s idk… such a waste of my life and my time and my education (as my dad so very kindly put). i wish art was easier and more sustainable.

i am so proud of what my hands can and continue to make. i wish the people that mattered in my life realize how much work it takes to make a single print or product. but there is nothing more hurtful than hearing your own parent say they’re ashamed of you because you haven’t achieved much in comparison to their friends’ kids. love that! yeah, lecture me more like i don’t already know how bleak my future is, so much so that i won’t be able to afford a house.

i don’t know what prompted me to type this all out lol its just so frustrating to be stuck in the same place even when you’re doing everything you can. if you are reading this then thank you. it’s nice to be seen and heard. genuinely, i hope you’re having a better time than i am! if you’re in the same boat, then i hope things get better for us soon.

in other news, i guess i want to try using tumblr more since twt has gotten progressively worse. tiktok is hard to use and there’s only so many things i could share there when i don’t want to be on camera. ig and the new threads thing sound equally garbage. ah well
