Sometimes it feels like you can't win.
14 years ago
This journal is going to probably sound very selfish but fuck it anyways lol. I also know that I am not alone in this feeling
Sometime it just really annoys me how I just can't seem to win with any sort of raffle, or free art giveaway. And seeing as it's free I really shouldn't have room to bitch unless I paid for a ticket to get in.
But when I see a friend or a few friends, or just a fur or two in particular win over and over, across the board, their gallery filled with nothing but freebies, some of high quality and upper price ranges. It just annoys me to no end.
I've been fortunate enough to have disposable income to which I've paid artists for some seriously spectacular pieces. Some of which are hung on my wall next to me. I always look at them and smile. They really have captured Nara so well.
But it sometimes really gets to me when I'm that 6th person out of 5 slots, or by the time I see the journal, link a ref claiming a slot, in the 2 seconds it took me to do that 30 people have commented.
Or worse still, when I do acutally win and feel good becuase I acutally won one of these things. It's either becuase they opened 10-50 slots, and by the time they get to me. (I'm normally somewhere in the middle or the end, (still haven't been able to claim a 1st spot lol) They've burned themselves out, cancel the remaining slots and say "you can't be mad lol it was supposed to be free" And I was either next or within a spot or two of being next in line to be drawn. That burns the most I gotta admit.
but again this is just me venting, being selfish as is our nature. I don't expect some gracious gift from someone giving up a slot or nothing I'm not butthurt about losing any one particular raffle, just venting.
*flops somewhere soft*
