I'm not having a good time :l

General
I'm not much for expressing myself, how I feel... but I really want to get it off my chest.
These last 2 weeks have been terrible for me and, as always, itās the university's fault.
They decided to open the registration cycle on Monday of next week without warning anywhere,
and in the end, I won't even be able to pay it on my own.
Something else that really bothers me is the lack of visibility I have on the platform.
I feel like an ant next to a cart (which would be the artists I follow).
I keep asking myself: What am I doing wrong?
Maybe my characters donāt have enough? Or is my art just garbage?
An example of that is the shark I want to sell...
Yes, I know itās a high price, but itās a rare design to see.
Many people have looked at it, but... does anyone really want it?
I donāt know where Iām going wrong.
I donāt do this for the money, I love what I do ā
but I try not to be a burden to my family.
And if I can help with a little income, even better.
Right now, I have no other way to earn money,
and if this is the only option I have and it gets ignored... what do I do?
I really want to continue, but I'm getting discouraged
I donāt understand why people donāt like what I do...
Being ignored is one of the worst feelings.
What do they think I am, a scam? Something bad?
At least, for now, I was able to pay for a gym for a while, and vent a little...
but itās not enough.
I'm not looking to be famous on this platform,
I just want to see people enjoy what I create.
If anyone actually reads this ā thank you
Life is.... Really rough right now. For a LOT of people. The economy is fucked, everything is expensive, some communities are being actively attacked left right and center. I am sure there's plenty of people who do want your designs. They just can't afford them.
Getting seen is also pretty difficult with so many other people trying to sell artwork and adoptables. You just gotta post art often and get a following. Which can be a bit difficult with how fast stuff gets bumped off the front page.
I wanted him, but I am struggling too hard to afford him.
And yeah, sometimes they can be hesitant about potential scamming, but I think it's mostly that people are struggling right now
Now with this sale I feel calmer, really my anger and frustration is because of the university that are unclear and put their benefit above the students xd.
I hope things improve little by little and that everything does not collapse.
