About myself

General
Ok, maybe this is a weird/odd thing to write about, but I feel like I should do it:
You see people online, you know, popular artists, video creators and maybe you get some impression that:
-oh, he/she is so happy
-they have have so many friends
-they don't have a care in the world
-their life is all set
-they know all the tricks in the book as to what being successful means
I do realize that "being successful" is very much a thing in the eye of the beholder. Even as an extremely humble person, I know that there are those who see me as some real authority on things, and this is why I felt like speaking out on this:
-I don't think I'm that happy all things considered. I get worried about things easily, and seem to constantly chase behind things, trying to catch up
-I have very few "offline friends" and I don't meet anyone frequently. I'm single, often feeling lonely, even if not being desperate for love
-I am not satisfied with what I create, I worry about where I'm heading
-I feel completely lost
Maybe it's not even true, it might be my mind playing tricks on me, but I just felt like saying it, so that everybody who follows me and thinks that I'm some .... happy upbeat person with tons of friends who's successful, then you are wrong, and .... don't feel so bad about yourself.

I love my art, I love creating, but like you sometimes I'm not happy with it, being a perfectionist sort wanting things to be perfect, but if I stress about that then I can't get my content out, I can do my best to work towards what I want to tell and that's great for me (especially as a comic artist you have to do what you can to make it easier to tell your story).
I have few offline friends, Like 3 lol I love them but I never get to see them, it's been over 10 years for me. XD But we try to stay connected even with the distance and life between ourselves. I also have you and my followers that help inspire me to move forward too! ^^
I'm always worried and sometimes feel like I'm not good enough when I'm working on my comic, but not everybody is going to like it, even if it's something minor, and sometimes I get so many ideas that I get lost, I have to try and stay organized for myself, do things one step at a time, set up goals to what I want to work on. Like right now it's (1) Set up Decisive Desire's website /even if it's not perfect I can always improve upon it later when I get better / have time. (2) Get all my Patrons caught up on their rewards /work on neat tier illustrations for patreon. and (3) Everything caught up I have the freedom / time to resume work on the comic, I'm working hard to make sure that I put in as much time as I can to create and keep content going. Decisive Desire is my life.
If you need somebody to chat about stuff like maybe work out a goal that you can explore creatively then let me know, I'm pretty great with ideas and whatnot, I can probably help inspire the brain meats. :D
Trying to start some relationship, find a new job, and things aren't working out. Sure, I realize it takes time, but it gets to be successful, and .... well, someone has been complementing me a lot, and I felt the need to say that I'm flawed and not too happy
Thanks for being there for me
Not a great wisdom, I know, I just trying to tell you: keep going ^^ it is not always easy, In the end it will hopefully work out ^^
