I've been feeling a lot better about social media overall

It's been pretty relaxing, so I feel comfortable letting my rough-around-the-edges personality out more, rather than being so professional about most things. I think it's fine, but sometimes it can be unnecessary. I feel like I've vented way too much in the past, so I've been working on that. I'm trying to be more positive and talk about other things that don't stress me out. Also, with text alone, there's a lot missing.
It's frustrating to be misunderstood, but I understand why it happens. I realize I can come off as cold at times. It's nothing personal, it's just a boundary because as fun as social media can be, people can be weird or even dangerous, so I also gotta be smart about it, but I gotta have a balance too.
I learned it from professional artists with whom I'm mutuals with. I think it's also important to be able to see the human beyond the artist, so I'm working on that as well. I feel that I've been too cold and detached. So, I think it's better if I just have fun, post my art, and leave, which is what I've mostly been doing. I still prefer art sites like FA, DA, and Sheezyart, though.
I want to use Newgrounds more as well, mostly for my best work, but I can also post nice sketches on there that can be rated. It can be a good way to take criticism, too, but I also know I should take it with a grain of salt, but it depends.
Anyway, a lot has happened in the past few months, but I'm alright, really. My messages are always open if any mutuals/friends want to talk. I'll also try to comment more in the future. I miss this place so much, and I'm so glad FA is still around. I'm so grateful to everyone who kept it around; it's much appreciated.
