I have a hard time letting my guard down and expressing myself with sincerity. Despite everything I've posted I still have some internal denial and shame. But I'm tired. I want to be vulnerable and let it show.
Thanks to my supportive bf @hydez.bsky.social and to artist @skyebluew0lf.bsky.social!

Seeing artists with ideas that they want to execute deliberately deciding *not* to execute them because "it's already been done by someone else"
Fuck that shit. Do it anyway.
You've gotta have fun with your craft. You wouldn't even know someone else already did something similar if it weren't for social media. You drew with reckless abandon when you were younger because you didn't have an innate fear of others' eyes judging you. Not acting is clogging your ability to create and preventing you from practicing much-needed self-expression. It's preventing you from your very reason for creating.
Who cares if someone already brought cake? Now there's two cakes. More for everyone.
