Everything changed.
At the beginning of 2024, I started drawing and making fanart of my favorite artist’s character. But there was something that didn’t feel right. I don’t really know how to describe it, but I felt… forced, like I was trying to fit in.
Sometimes I asked myself… Do you think this is even worth it?
I wasn’t sure. I just wanted to socialize, and everything seemed fine, but even then, I felt… empty. Trying to fit in, I would just watch others grow their art pages or get a lot of likes, even if they weren’t that well-known.
Then came an obsession with wanting to grow.
What the hell was I becoming?
Now everyone wants to be famous. Even today, we’re all kind of lost, fighting over a miserable like instead of truly enjoying what we want to do… you know?
“And you already know the other part. The criticism… yes, those people who insult you, maybe just to satisfy themselves. It’s really a question that keeps me up at night: why do people want to criticize without justification? Why is there no respect anymore? Are people really that bad?
“Maybe I might fall short with my words or make things sound confusing, but my mind is always full of things I’d like to express and talk about. It’s just hard, because there will always be people who try to criticize it, whether through memes or insulting words.”
