    It's funny how scared I can get about everything, but especially about my art.
    I will worry myself into the ground, afraid that somebody will hate what I have to post,
    or that I'm simply not good enough for anyone to truly like.

    Yet, every time I get a like or comment from someone, I'm reminded that maybe all those worries are just a lie filling my head.
    So I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who takes a moment to look at my art, give a like, and/or leave a comment.

    Thank you for giving me the space to branch out and push myself to be what I want to be.
    It means more to me than I think anyone will ever know. ♡

Your attention to detail is so good! I love the stars in the swirls :') anxiety is an awful feeling so you're v brave for posting your art despite how it makes you feel, especially as your art is so pretty!!!! :)

    such an impactful quote to include, our brains just love being our greatest enemies. yet, your persistent efforts to push past these obstacles remains steadfast by the look of it, you should be proud of yourself for that. i might sound like a broken record at this point, but your art blows me away every time i see it, and i would consider you to be one of my top 3 favorite artists on this entire site. suffice to say you’ve got a gift, and with time, i hope that anxiety continues to lessen as you become more and more comfortable showing it off.

    ahhh! I just... I don't even really know what to say, I am genuinely speechless.
    I pretty much quit art years ago, absolutely petrified by the idea of it not being good enough, and yet...
    you guys are making me start to see it differently.

    Everything that was said means the absolute world to me!
    I appreciate every single word greatly! Thank you so so much for your wonderful support and kindness!

    I hope that I can continue to create art that everyone can like and enjoy in the future. ♡
    Bit by bit, my confidence is building, and it's a big thanks to you.

    You are all so amazing, thank you!!
