entering the my-art-is-fucking-trash-and-everyone-is-too-nice-to-tell-me phase of the artist cycle. normally I try my best to keep this phase as private as possible bc I KNOW it's brainworms but.... fucking hell I am feeling it so hard. I've been trying to have an art career for over a decade what the fuck am I doing. why am I trying so hard and working so hard when no one wants my art.

#sorry for the negativity i just rarely post this kind of stuff even though i see my friends do it all the time #idk :/#I'm feeling really fucking bad #every time i see someone complain about follows and stuff on Twitter they have 39k+ followers and I'm like ha.....ha.....#they started their account last year meanwhile I've been toiling away and i don't even have 300 followers #which SHOULDN'T MATTER RIGHT but also like #you cannot fucking deny that more eyes on your stuff means more opportunities #so it kinda does matter #i would love a job where i can do art or writing #so that i don't have to keep fighting social media algorithms at all #that would be ideal #but no one who's hiring sees me either so it's just a hole #I'm at the bottom of a very deep hole and i don't know if there's a point in trying to get out anymore
