So I guess my question is, to all the artist/content creators out there, how do you work through this? How do you un-anchor the value of your work from social media? How do you find motivation to keep going when the perceived feedback is... absent?

I’ve been asking myself this a lot lately. I don’t think it’s wrong to want validation - it’s the human condition. Because social media commodifies everything, we lose that bit of our humanity to the whim of trends. It’s frustrating to say the least...

The way I’ve been trying to combat it lately is just really digging deep and figuring out what I truly enjoy, and making art of that. Life is short and I’m going to spend it being content with my art even if I don’t get a second glance from the internet.

I'm struggling to use words correctly tonight so I can't write as eloquently as you did but thank you for the insight, I very much appreciate it! And I will say, I definitely feel that you capture that essence in your art, there's an emotional depth which is incredibly unique

I didn’t just want to say “who cares what others think!” because that kind of advice, while in good faith, lacks to acknowledge that it’s a difficult and lengthy matter... so I hope what I said made sense haha. Your art has a quality of sincerity to it, keep it in sight
