Consider the following:
I can hear everyone yelling at me, throwing things at me to see what sticks. I think it's time for a change. Everything I just said, down the drain, out the window, into the garbage can, etc.
If I want to stop being jealous and have low self-esteem, I am going to have to hold on tighter. If I want to be like my friends, I'm going to have to act like them: no more easily giving up on my platform, no more complaining about my work, no more slacking off, etc. This may be torture to me, but soon it won't be. No more complaining in random journals, no more letting go, and so on.
If I want to stop struggling, I need to change what works best for me. There may be some sacrifices, such as my art not receiving enough favorites, my account not being as large as I would like, people leaving me, and so on, but I need to stop worrying about those things and stupid numbers and just go with it. One day, I'll make it. One day.
The thing is... I just wish I knew where to start. But it's time for a change.
This is what I realized.
I am almost a grown-ass man who is going to college; I don't need to be acting like this. No wonder why I feel like I'm not loved.If I want to stop being jealous and have low self-esteem, I am going to have to hold on tighter.

I saw your artworks. I can send you details of how to do shading and color line arts.
