i understand the feeling, but within creative we really should just try to let ourselves express ourselves and the only one we should be comparing us to is ourself! you felt good and confident and no one should be able to take that feeling away from you<333 creativity is about expression and liberation, it's not about who is more skilled, it's about feelings and it's bigger than that
yeah, ugh, you said it well
I'm going to share one post now i think
but like probably noone is gonna read it
like i feel like i try waaay to hard to get zero interactions on 99.9% of what i do and try to share
@nesta (i'm sorry for tagging you but i figured it might get lost between all the other posts otherwise)
may i ask what you're writing? is it creative writing, journalism, opinions, etc? what language are you writing in and how available is it to an everyday person? (like me)
and i want to ask as well why you write, or atleast why you started writing. is/was it because you want others to interact with it or because it's a form of expression for you? Does it make you feel something, and is it important to you in other means that people interact with it? I'm just trying to identify reasons to keep going even if it feels tough sometimes, because what's worth something can vary so much like if it makes you feel good when you write (which i figure since you said you felt confident at first), i think that should be what's most worth it and then if people see it and interact with it that should be a bonus
edit: and i really know creative fields can be so hard sometimes and i often have had the thought about quitting or giving up within my creative field which is fashion, because "who would see my stuff, who would wear it, hell who would even BUY it?" but then, if i didn't continue - if i didn't make designs and keep on sewing, no one will ever see it because nothing exists... so in your case, not writing or atleast not publishing would automatically make the interactions zero, for a chance for people to be able to it has to exist, and i believe in you!!! everyone starts of somewhere
Rn I'm trying substack again bc insta don't support long posts. I'm writing about writing rn (tips and lessons I've learned and stuff) , and about books and stuff I like and trying to find someone who share my interests. But it's impossible! Like I've done booksta for a decade now bc nobody irl shared my love for reading fantasy books and I still have zero close friends. It's still just me posting into the void bc ppl don't interact. And idk what I do right or wrong or at all. And insta was better before but let's be real insta is a content creation platform now and it's aglos suck. And I cannot not be impacted by it and I hate it there but it's also the only space I have any social capital online bc I've been there for so long.
