Dear dragonsica and to some others struggling let me ask why? Why do you think you'll NEVER live up to the height of those big time users? Who cares if their popular or not, it shouldn't be effecting you, you should worry about only your viewers as stuff like that nonsense will only upset you and the friends you hold dearly

But i do understand that feeling of "not living up to your predecessor" for a time it wasn't a good feeling and which is why with some help i was able to move pass that and focus on not others more succesful and popular work, but just my work, Their popularity and big status shouldn't weigh you down i mean look at me

Im some rando who makes random stuff and im perfectly happy and contempt with the way i am. As for "discovering what it means to be an artist" it's a rather simple answer "just be yourself" its YOUR work and YOUR account, just do what you do best and be yourself

After all...

We ALL start from somewhere
