I have just wrote the quick article about my axperience working with crystals. I also talked about unresolved child trauma , depression ,anxiety , shadow work , frequency , vibrations... and this time I was really authenthic so I hope that you would appreciate me talking about these topics and I hope that we could I dont know maybe talk about your own opinion about this topic and your experience. Please feel free to share your opinion about any of these topics and maybe if you have some recommendations for me about what would you like me to write that would be really amazing BUT most importantly - if you consider yourself as an spiritual being I would be so glad if we can talk about it in the comments:)
healing powers of crystals part 1 : Rose Quartz
Do you believe in the healing powers of crystals? Do you believe thats crystals can heal us with their powers ? I do ! And even this article would probably not be for everyone I said to hell with it I am writing about it anyway and maybe it would help someone... So lets dive in...
Every object has its own frequency (thats same with people). I would not go into the topic of frequency and vibrations because not many people knows about that and not many people believe in that but anywayif you check what science does say about that you will know what I am talking about. But lets get to the point. I am always writing about my authenthic experiences from my life. In this post I would love to talk about rose quartz and how this beautiful crystal helped me with my struggle. I do struggle with trauma from my childhood which often leads to depression , anxiety and problem with confidence and self worth. So many people are having unresolved child trauma in their body and they doesnt even know about that. Child trauma can literally start from really small things like - when your parents doesnt have much time for you and your subconcious mind cannot process it and you bury it deep inside and you wouldnt even know. There is a lot of symptoms of unresolved or unknown child trauma. So many people doesnt even know, that they have an child trauma. I didnt even knew about that for many many years. Some people would never notice and never find out. But I must say - Its a great sign that you do find out if you find out because it does mean that your soul is ready to heal. And in this article I am going to tell you what helps me to heal. First and main thing which helps me was a meditation with rose quartz in combinantion with shadow work. I will be writing about my own experience with shadow work and what is shadow work in the next post so dont forget if this article had you interested please make sure you subscribe or follow me on my profile for more articles like this.
So now rose quartz. Rose quartz is this beautiful baby pink crystal which is working with your heart chacra which is like an energy portal which is involved with self love , self confidence and with your relantionship with love and forgiveness in general. Rose Quartz can heal your heart. What i did was that i was holding it in my left hand during meditation. You can wear rose quartz , you can hold it during meditation on your heart chacra , you can keep it in your work space or the space where you most often spend your time and it would work. Just trust the process.
sending love and blessing

What saddens me
I just saw an documentary called seaspiracy. Have you seen this documentary? Did you knew that sharks helps earth to produce 80 percent of oxygen on our earth? In Japan Island called Taiji there is a massive dolphin and sharks killings going on right now - just because of the fish industry we are killing our oceans.
My artwork part 2 (little depressive)
Dear reader, I hope you are doing well and I thank you for your lovely comment and for expressing your feelings. I think that we have to get each other little better.
I was thinking about sharing some of these with you but I don't know if they are good enough.. What do you think?
I wish I can be more confident. I always feel like my artwork and everything I do suddenly is not good enough. Not original enough. Not creative enough. Do you struggle with that too dear reader?
Its okay if you struggle..
Dear reader
Im my previous article about Vincent Van Gogh I have chosen to go and try to answer the question that is touching self harm and mental illness and struggle.
**I think that is important to talk about these things even if you are not psychologist or psychiatrist. I bet that every one of us - we are all struggling in some way too.**
I must say - I hate all those typical specific articles where you read about specific facts and signs even if might be educational - but **I miss there the most important thing - some self expression from author**. I mean you can write about anything and educate others but that article **will never have an soul** if you know what I mean. **You can spend hours and hours writing about something like if it was just a topic and facts but thats it**.. I mean call me weirdo but I that is the exact reason **why I dont like most of the articles.** **I miss the soul from it**. I miss **personal opinions of an author** , I miss **his personal opinions** - i think **that is the most important thing that is making writer the true author**. Author in some deep more meaningful way. But I think that most of the writers here would argue with me and say - **thats not professional and its more of a blogging.**.. But anyway lets go the point... This is one of the things that I find myself **struggling** with on this website. **I love to write about my thoughts and express my feelings in the way that would bring the light tho others or just make them thinking about any of the topic I choose**. **As an introvert I just love that kind of deep conversations. That kind of conversations that you would probably be having with your spirit guide or therapist or best friend or I let you pick an character that suits you the most.** Its **that person that is always there for you and you can talk to that person about anything without him judging you.** And I find this very important. **Life sometimes can be pretty tough** and thats why we need to have a person like that in our life. **Have you find that kind of person in your life ? Who is that person for you ? Or are you that person for yourself ?** No matter what kind of answer have you came up with while you are reading this its okay. **Its okay to feel exhausted from life , its okay to feel sad of feel like you are stuck at some point or struggling. I do struggle too** and you cannot imagine how hard do I struggle right now with writing this article... I love to write but I always struggle with what kind of things I want to write. **I dont want to write about bitcoin or about another currency or about finance or about anything like that. I want to write about art , music , about some dumb conpiracy theories about life and struggle but most importantly - I want to write my own way.. Can you relate ?** Please **tell me your thoughts on this in the comments**... **What is your struggle with writing ? Do you struggle to write or do you struggle at all ? Is it just me ?**
Thanks for all who have read all of this. If you do have read all of this I just want so say that I would **highly appreciate** if you subscribe to me but **that decision is up to you**. I dont like that kind of people that go to the comment section leaving comments like subscribe to me or you should subscribe to me and when you go to their profile to see their articles they work here on this website basically just copying and paste and stealing articles of others. I want to say that I dont like and I dont want that kind of people here. Its really toxic for all of us creative and ORIGINAL writers that are trying to do our own content. I truly wish to be honest that these kind of people would avoid us or the best would be if they will not be here at all. Sorry not sorry burglars and spammers but just f... off... :)
Just a quick update - this is what passions me and took me so much time
Hi everyone i decided to share with you my yesterdays artwork. I started to work on it yesterday late evening. As you can see I am doing very complicating and precise technique of drawing. I am not drawing like the others by lines but i am filling my artworks with dots. Honestly this is having some serious cons as you can see - I need to take my time. I was working about this for several hours already until my wrist started to feel tired so I had to stop. Honestly this is the way i am trying to work but its painful journey. I just kind of wanted to express my thoughts and also came with explanation why there was no article here from yesterday.
I would like to ask you in the end of this article what kind of topic interest you? What would you like to read from my and hear my thoughts on it? And also what is your hobby that you enjoy to do or what do you feel passioned about? I can't wait to hear your thoughts ♥️😉 i am passioned about drawing by dots and enjoying every detail and point that I am filling the paper with.
I wish you a lovely day and yeah another article will come soon hopefully today.
Hi there everyone
I kust admit that I am feeling kind of disappointed after writing bunch of articles here on this website. I dont do ctrl+c and ctrl+v in any of my article. I have been working out on my todays article for approximately 5 hours not including tje research about this topic to check if someone yet had the idea and wrote similar article than mine... And honestly I am little disappointed when i get a short comment like good work or i get a comment that doesn't really make sence to me like i don't understand like for what particular passage of my article is person reacted. I get noticed that some peoples are just copying the passages of articles of others and they are posting it under not on my comments but also I noticed it under several articles. And this all makes me thinking : is really everyone ob this website creating an original content and writing original articles and do they really earn to get paid from it and from the comments also? I don't know. I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic and what should I do to prevent people getting paid for copying content of others.
Little notice at the end - iw there would be comments that doesn't make sence and it will be proven as plagiatorism i will report it immediately from this day.
Have a lovely day my lovely original content making subscribers 🙂♥️
Why does really Vincent Van Gogh cuts his ear off?
I would like to say before me move on to the article that **I am not psychologist or psychiatrist. In all of my articles I am speaking out about my opinion and thoughts and possible theories what could lead Van Gogh cut his ear off**. There is **not one simple quick explanation or theory that proves for hundred percent the act of Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off** - or to be the exactly specific **he did not cut all of his ear off but the cuts only the ear lobe** - but it does not mater in this case because we want to know the answer right ? But **its not that easy to find one particular reason why does that happened - sadly.** There are so many **facts to keep in mind behind every story why does someone decide to hurt himself** or in this case **hurt yourself in this very unconventional or strange way**. I believe there is more true to this story and in this article I Will be trying to point out **several reasons why would that happened.**
Most widely accepted simple theory
The most common and widely accepted theory of why does **Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off was that he does that after big argument with his fellow artist friend Paul Gauguin and then he gave his ear to a prostitute names Rachel as a sign of affection**. This was a proven fact that he gets into a fights and he does physically **bring part of his ear lobe to a prostitut**e as it was even pictured **in the movie loving vincent** but there is **so much more behind this story that I feel is needed to be said.**
Vincent Van Gogh mental health and struggle
**Evidence and several psychiatric analysing suggests that Vincent Van Gogh was struggling with mental illness. Vincent Van Gogh according to several psychiatrists -had a Manic depression and chronic mental illness**. One study even say that **he was having Menieres disease which was at that time not well known** and thats why **it was often misdiagnosed as epilepsy**. There is a **high possibility in this case that his personal Doctor - Dr Gachet - who was a French Physician (not a professional Psychiatrist) had misdiagnosed him with false medication and treatment.**
He cut his ear off because of tinnitus or from being misdiagnosed ?
**Tinnitus is an illness that is often described as ringing and roaring in the ears. Tinnitus is one of the main symptoms of Menieres desease.** But in Van Goghs case as we know - **was not diagnosed with Menieres desease and his doctors conclude that he was suffering from epileptic seizures and madness.** But this is not the only one diagnose that has been said as theory.
**Imagine being misdiagnosed and getting the wrong treatment by the wrong people and still suffering the illness that was not well known at that time. Could this be the answer why would you act unnatural and get to the point to cut your ear lobe off just out of despair and an absolute sadness because you dont know what is wrong with you and why do you having the symptoms that you have ?**
Too many diagnosis and proposed theories
So many people until this day would try to come with even more theories and diagnosis that could lead to an event of his cutting his ear off. He cuts his ear off **simply because of the woman that he get married to that was a prostitute** and had a kid and they could be **having some relationship problems** and also his **family was not very supportive** and also **the society that they lived** in was maybe not the best by accepting this as a healthy relationship. Also there is a theory that **he cut his ear off because of his brother was geting married**. There is a theory that he cuts his ear because he get to an arguments and fights and so on... **I dont want to point out all the possible theories because honestly people are speculating too much**.
Other proposed theories have said that he was having an **bipolar disorder, temporal lobe epilepsy, syphilis, borderline personality disorder, cycloid psychosis, and schizophrenia**. Honestly here has been **so many diagnosis** for Van Gogh that I feel I am **kind of loosing myself in all those possible scenarios and possible side effects and symptoms** that may Vincent Van Goghs have that can lead to this event. But honestly ? **I think it does not matter why does Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off.**
But it doesnt really matter because...
I think it does not matter right now. **What matters to me is his story and his huge massive positive impact that he had for so many artists that are reading his story. There are so many artist who are struggling with their mental health and everyday lack of creativity and ideas and all those everyday struggles** what an non artists dont understand. I think that non artist are often not fully understanding the facts that **artists are not just robots that are bursting out painting by painting or drawing by drawing. Our creative spirit is not always there and we need to sacrifice so much to do art.** We need time - **creating art is a long difficult process and when we need more time we have to sacrifice often so much**.. I just remembered how I used to talk to my friend who is also creating art and she is working very hard to start selling her art. We joked about how we need to wash our hair but we do not have the time or energy. I mean honestly I am ashamed to say that but **if you do an art you need time and most of the time you have to sacrifice even a personal hygiene sometimes**... Yep... I remember how I used to keep asking myself **why are the artist most described as those with greasy hair and dark circles under eye and intimidating look on their faces. Now I get it !** **We are often tired , we dont have enough time and we feel just emotionally and mentally sucked out because we need to keep creating things in our mind and working very hard to transfer it on paper while it would look just the way we want it. So people can say sh@t like : That is really expensive or What design could I get for 10 dollars or Would you draw me for free?** Yeah , we are basically **payed like prostitutes** , **sucked out from creativity** and positive thoughts and our muse, **dont have enough time..**. Like I basically didnt had enough time to end this article somehow more socially acceptable or just **without an basic ending like the other articles** by other people **have**....
**I am very sorry .. But if you somehow like this article and would decide to support me you can leave a long comment about your toughts about this whole topic and subscribe to me for more articles or you can also donate to me - poor artist.**
Shane Dawson - empath or the exact opposite?
**Dear reader please keep in mind that in this article I am talking about my personal opinions and thoughts to start a potential discussion in the topic that I think might be interested. I didn't want to intentionally hurt any creator or anyone and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts about this topic. Please also keep in mind that the photo used in this article was done by myself and I ask you politely to don't use it anywhere without my approval.**
I decided to talk about my personal thoughts and issues with the famous youtuber name Shane Dawson as an ex fan and watcher of his content. For those who are not familiar with the name Shane Dawson he is an famous youtuber, director and actor. He have written several books talking about his life issues with self confidence. He is most famous because of his famous docu series with Jake Paul, Tana Mongeau (tanacon), Jeffree star or Eugenia Cooney. So many of his fan had seen him as an truly kind person and highly sensitive and empathethic person.
He used to claim several times that he is an empath what basically mean that he can feel the emotion of others and it makes me thinking about it until now. Is it okay if you are empath saying that you are empath? Isn't it others job to say of how they see you? I think that made me also kind of fall for his content when he was helping famous youtubers by showing their dark sad part of their life's and bringing up light to their life problems. I still think it was very nicely done and it was interesting to watch.
**Shane's content will make you feel like you know what is happening behind the turned off camera. But is that the true reality? At the end of the day its the creator who is deciding what kind of reality he will show you in front the camera. Is there a possibility that he lied about being an empath**?
There was some serious allegations that he and famous youtuber and makeup brand owner Jeffree star has planned to ruin a youtube career of another famous youtubers. I think you probably are familiar with the James Charles and Tati Westbrook drama.
And then after this serious allegation comes out, there was another allegation by another said by witness after witness.. I am not going to talk about that allegations - I am sure you can all Google it and even if you do know about all of them (especially about that one which contains Shane acting inappropriate with underage girls) I am sure you will end up having mixed feeling like I do...
And all these things have brought me to one perticular question : Can we have trust in the creators in front of the camera and believe everything what they do? Isn't judt every youtuber or Internet personality lying about their personality into our faces to gain more fans? What do you think about this topic? Do you watch famous youtubers? What is your favorite creator on YouTube and why? And do you feel like you can trust that the creator is acting the same in person as he is claiming to be to his audience?
My artwork - my story part 1
It was harder than you probably though of if..
I think as an artist that your artwork has always some story behind it so decided to share some of my artwork and my story with you. But to be honest this desicion of mine was not as easy as you think because every part of my artwork has a special mark on it by all those hours and hours of working on in and so many hours of thinking and deciding of every line ... so many anxious thoughts about it .. Honestly creating art is just such a big process for me. So many times it is really exhausting for me to find myself in it... but somehow I do it everytime and I feel so proud of it. And thats the way of my self-loving process...
I would like to say please if you see any artwork please respect owner of the art and don't stole it.
If you stole a piece of art from artist you stole a big piece of his soul, heart and also you will just took away hours and hours of hard work. Thank you ♥️
The last portrait may be just the basic portrait if you look at it and you don't know the story behind it but for me it has the most special meaning. I draw this portrait when i was starting actively drawing every day and I was trying to develop some art skills and at time I was drawing it she was lying in bed and I simply draw what I saw as it was and would be recommended by every artist. Living models are just great way to develop your art skills. You are simply looking and drawing what you see and it helps a lot to reach progress at least in my opinion. Also it was the first ever portrait where I saw the progress and i really just enjoyed the time with her. Rest in piece my sweet innocent soul ❤️ until we meet again...
Inspiration is literally everywhere!You just have to take the chance and go for it as soon as it appears on your mind!
As you can see you can pretty much do art and go with the flow of inspiration wherever you are. By this time I was just chilling at the garden, I just have noticed the old piece of glass wall from our bathroom and the black marker and I just go for it and draw what I felt in that moment. I do not have a name tho yet for this piece of art so let's just call it "glass character"
Thats the ending at least for now...
And at least for now this is the end of my story behind my art. It was my pleasure to share it with you and I hope that I inspire you or motivated you in even a little bit and in the way you hopefully needed ♥️☺️ I would be so glad you leave your thoughts in comments.
Have a lovely day and please if you enjoy this article hit the subscribe for more artwork and more of my story ♥️ more articles will come soon

Vincent Van Gogh -the underappreciated icon
I am sure that the first fact about Vincent Van Gogh or just a first though that comes to your mind when we say his name is that he is the artist who cuts his ear off and I think that is completely alright.. but in this article I would love to speak my thoughts about Vincent and how I see him as the symbol of motivation and an absolute dedication to art. When I started to really adore his work was until I read some facts that are absolutely mind blowing for me. Vincent Van Gogh is an self taught artist who started to draw sketches in his quite late age - almost before he reach 30 years old .. and since that time he did not just started right away painting all those amazing canvases with his best work - he did around 1700 sketches before he started to paint all those brilliant paintings. Its his dedication to art that I completely adore , its the fact that he fell in love into art almost before his 30 years old what I adore , and also he was a self taught artist...Which means he did not go to any prestige art academy - he learned by his own experiences and by the time of his life his art was not appreciated. He was not famous , he was not recognised as an professional artist throughout his life. He did not sell one canvas and he still had a dedication for art itself and enough motivation to keep painting and painting and creating and he never stopped being creative. He was painting in the rain , in storm... he never stopped. And this is the fact why I adore him so much. Vincent Van Gogh is motivation. He is the symbol of dedication to art and eternal creative bomb that never stopped working and bursting out with his creative mind. This is how I know Vincent.. He was and he is and he will be at least in my opinion an eternal symbol of absolute dedication to art.
If you would ask me about who is my most favorite artist when I was in my teenage years whenI was drawing once a year and I was dreaming about drawing actively and actively be working on my drawing skills my answer would be completely different. But now I definitely say it is Vincent Van Gogh - the eternal and the purest dedication to art. The symbol of the true love to art. At least for me ... And who is yours?

Weird facts about being an introvert
Hi there , I decided to share some of my recent weird facts about me being an introvert that I noticed that may be little .. interesting ? funny ? or just weird ?
I enjoy to be alone most of the time and I am feeling great about it just being alone with myself and I am never feeling bored or anxious about it. So many people wonder and ask me how I am not bored or How i am okay with being in quarantine since the covid19 spreaded and they always wonder how do I do that.
I dont like a small talk and so many times I feel weird with other people that want to have a small talk. I love deep , meaningful or not really meaningful conversations with other people who likes to bring up any scenario that could be possible. I also really like weird theories like what if aliens would come from another dimension and how would they look like what language would they speak or what religion would they have or some more detailed theories made by anyone. I just love that sh@t ! I love to react to it , I love to create that sh@tty scenarious and I appreciate when someone is not looking at me as if was a fu...g weirdo but he would tell me about his crazy scenario that is possible and we would be talking about it for hours... or at any other weird scenario or conspiracy theory..
I hate people who talk mean comments about others without thinking about it twice if they could offend someone. For example if some idiot make a really mean comment to pet owner saying that I hope your pet will die or some mean sh@t like that .. I would seriously wish him burn in hell and thats the same for someone abusing an child or animals. Seriously if you hurt an child or animal i hate you :)
I love art , i love reading books , I love tattoos and seriously I love when its unique and mind blowing like that type of books that literally most of the extroverts dont read at all :D same with tattoos and everything ...
I can be talking much and doesnt look as an introvert when I am with other introvert or some other personality that likes deep conversations about anything possible.
I was born with non diagnosted social phobia and social anxiety as every introvert :) especially when I am suddenly in the middle of the center in the conversation and when there are strangers participating :D
By the time I do fell in love with the introvert animals like bunnies and does. I do have a pet bunny and she is literally the best pet for introvert like me Even if she is a lot of work ! :)
superpower or supercurse?well .. I am INFJ!
Just a little reminder or caution before you read this article. I am just a weird introvert and artist who is just trying to express his feelings and doesnt want to be called out for being a weirdo. If you find yourself with my words just a little bit I would be so happy that i am not the only one weird here :)
Hi there , I am sure that everyone of you is familiar with the word having an superpower like telekinesis when you move objects just with your mind or you are invisible or can fly but lets play a little with this idea or term - Lets switch the word superpower for TALENT or SKILL or YOUR PART OF PERSONALITY that is unique or just not common that you have. What would that be for you ? For me its really I must say part of my personality and it has been with me since I started to fully understand my personality. My type of Personality is an Infj. Infj type of personality makes up only one percent of all population on earth. But what does it mean in practise?
INFJ - unique gift or the curse?
Since I was a little I always find myself very weird to just get in to the collective of others. I remember when I was a child I was mostly playing alone in my room when I was at home or I was that one weird kiddo playing alone in the corner in the kindergarden. I never understand the way that most of the child acted in my class. Since I was a child I was always extreme sensitive. I felt and i feel too much of emotion for other people. I remember one specific story when I was as a child at some family reunion. I was there with my parents and my brothers and there was some kids of the neighbours there. My mom and my dad sent me to play with that kids. I really felt at that time like I was pushed or force to go there but I still go there. I remember there was only girls there talking about something I didnt really remmber what kind of conversation they were having but I remember until this day there was one girl and the other girls were really mean to her. They were bullying her and I remember how I felt the first time how hurt and upset she was about it and at that point I just was the one who burst our crying about it. All the girls suddenly looked at me and they didnt understand my reaction first. They were like 7 or 8 years old and I honestly think they did not notice that what they said to that little girl really upsets her. I told them that I am just so sorry that they dont realise what their ugly words really mean. They looked at me like they dont understand it why I had the reaction like this but after few second that girl who said that mean words started to begging me to not tell her mom about it. Anyway ... then I realised that I am just not like the other people. I am an empath or infj but I didnt knew about that. So my superpowers or unique personality or being that one percent of a population just started to form to an serious nightmare. I feel too much , I absorb everyones emotions and I am constantly trying to help others by analysing everyone and everything. And honestly its the first thing that pops up to my mind. So many people think that its sweet or its cute but I assure you- its a nightmare. So that is the superpower that I have and I didnt know about this for so long. So many times its hard for me to explain it and maybe some of you still dont understand it. Well.. I am an artist so I tried to express it throught my drawing.
This is an Artwork that I made. This is the symbol of my superpower curse. I am that blinded woman which is naked , having her palms together , trying to give and help everyone , just giving more and more to someone out there which I dont really know, being in my black universe - blinded by my demonic , dark friend - infj standing behind me.. Constantly feeling sucked out , weak , exhausted.. Is that really an superpower ? More like a supercurse. What do you think ? What is your superpower and what superpower would you like to have ? I honestly wish I could be invisible and I would really enjoy it :)
Just a little awkward Introduction here I quess? a.k.a. my first article
The first sentence is always the hardest so...
I think the best beginning would be just to start to tell you some words about myself I guess... My name is Terry I am 28 years old and my good friend just told me about this page. I used to have a blog where I was typically just writing about my life and I was trying to express myself and my feelings and as an introvert I really enjoy that and I must say I was building kind of an good audience or readers...
When reading blogs was appreciated - It was before instagram was a trend..
I was very happy about it even if I was not making barely any money from it I just enjoyed that that I can just go for an walk with my camera , do some random shots and then I wrote about it how my day was or I wrote about some interesting facts , or about some conspiracy theories or I would just do a post about some music that I enjoyed..
It was basically everything what you post on instagram these days but at that time there was no instagram so yeah It was pretty exiting for me and I was glad that it was appreciated. I was slowly building a good community of people but sadly after some time I did not had enough time for that in my life and I just loose the creativity and motivation so I just kind of ended that and it was at that time when instagram comes and it appears to be a trend. It was a long time ago thinking about it now. It was that time when reading blogs used to be cool before I guess. Thinking about it now I think that all those social medias like instagram was really killing the creativity in me. Am I the only one who feels this way ? I mean all those social medias used to be helping us to socialise more isnt it right ? But I felt more lonely and lost more than I felt like I was being creative...
Does instagram kill the creativity?
The time when I feel creative on instagram was when I end up with idea of the profile on Instagram who served to be an open community for all artists from art lovers to beginners to pro artists. I was creating an art challenges for beginners artist , I was doing live streams there talking to all those artist and get to know people who love art like me and I must say I build a really good space for artists. I get to know so many cool people who became my friends later and It was so cool... BUT! There is sadly always a but , and it was that kind of artists who used my profile page just to get a free share for their artwork. I mean my idea was to create a strong community of an artists but I felt kind of used. I mean so many artists just care about to get their art shared and to get follows and likes.. Is the quality of the art really about how many likes and follows does the artist have on instagram ? I never really get that idea to be honest. So many times I was working on my drawing for at least 12 hours and when I finish it before I posted it on the instagram I was feeling really proud on myself that I am seeing some progress but after I post it on the instagram it gets like 13 likes there... And my happiness was gone.... Just like that... After that I realise there are 2 types of Artists.
Artist - who make art just for themselves to see a progress in their skills and it makes them happy..
Artist who are making art just to post it online to earn compliments and likes and follows ...
Please dont get me wrong If you are an proffesional artist who post your artwork on social media to build an audience for your bussiness I know its necessary - honestly thats the gold exeption. But its not my case. I do art just for myself to zone out from everything negative. I just love to swim in the paper , swim in my thoughts and just to create something that I can be proud of.
Please let me know your thoughts on these topics..
How do you feel about art ? Are you considering yourself to be an art lover or creator? And if you do art why do you do art ? Do you post your artwork on social medias ? If yes you do feel appreciated as an artist on Instagram or on other social medias ? I have so many questions.. Am I the only one who creates art just for myself and who is not posting my art because posting my artwork is literally depressing for me ? I have so many questions and I love to hear your thoughts about this :)
thanks for all your ideas and thoughts
