DeviantArt was peak and it's been all downhill from there 😭 Like, being able to submit to and browse groups?? Was such a great way to look at more art and get seen!

I think this is probably true! I wish group chats didn't drain me as much as they do... It seems like a great place to be around like minded people!

It has gotten progressively worse over the years, which is genuinely disheartening. It's not even reflective of numbers, because I had more followers on Twitter and it was the same. I think people are just a lot less inclined to really interact on modern social media nowadays. UGH

I feel like so much of my work has been fragmented because the animation industry said things weren't "professional" enough, so I had a very distant persona on my "professional" main. But where I've REALLY been able to be accepted and be myself are places where my username isn't my legal name.

I dunno. It feels like people truly interact so little nowadays, and it's obvious I'm in the wrong space. I just want to surround myself with more supportive, creative people that are down to uplift each other.
