For those of you who may read this journal, I need a little perspective.

Why should I vie for comment space? When there's a hundred people on the page of a good artist all kissing ass just the same, why should I join in...especially if the artist usually isn't paying attention anymore? I know I should probably leave one, but what's going to make it stand out or not sound like the same old comments that everyone else gives?

For one, it's hard to get into the habit of leaving comments for other people when nobody takes the time to leave comments on my own work. Secondly, if the artist isn't even paying attention, why should I waste my time?

I comment on journals all the time, especially if someone is asking for help, but on the actual artwork itself I find it hard to leave comments. Maybe it's a bad habit I should correct, but then again I have my own justifications.

Please help...should I kill this habit? Please give more reasons other than "you just should" and "it's the right thing to do."
