More from Devin the Dragon
been a really rough month. a bday that was incredibly depressing. everyone is either too busy or moving on with their own lives. my best friend irl will be moving away eventually. and here i am. alone. miserable. feeling completely worthless. forcing myself to work on art to ignore the pain and negative feelings. waking up each day to the negative thoughts. i honestly regret making the bluesky account since all i see on there is people just sharing art of popular artists. god... i really just don't know what to do or how to feel about things right now and just want shit to be done and over with.
anyways. i gotta get back to working on stuff. that's really the only thing about me that's worth anything. and if there is anything about me that is worthwhile. then show me. don't tell me.

What makes you think that you need to do something to deserve worth?
What i mean is that you don't need to have good art to be "worth" something
You don't gotta tie your "contributions" to your sense of self worth
And i know you said I have to show you, not tell you, something about you that's worthwhile, but you are a person, that alone should warrant some respect don't you think?
I'm not gonna pretend I have some bingo answer to all your self esteem problems, obviously I recommend seeing a therapist if possible
And you've put yourself in a corner by telling people online to *show* you why you're worth anything when all we can realistically show is your own art, and you already seem sold on your opinion on your art being not worth, and I discourage tying your worth to your art anyways because even though it's really good in my opinion, it's not who you are entirely
You are being MASSIVELY unfair to yourself, you know? You've rigged it against you, you've already decided "I'm not worth it, my art is all I'm good for, and it sucks," so why would you ask for help if you're so adamant on dying on this hill?
Because I bet you wanna believe that your wrong
You don't wanna believe this is all there is to you
But I don't know you personally, I can't tell you what makes you worth, all I can tell you is that you're most certainly not worthless because NO ONE is.
You want help
I want to help you
But I'm just some idiot online, I don't know everything there is to know about you
You gotta stop ignoring the things that makes you a person and acting like you have to be a good Samaritan or donate 700 bucks to charity to get any respect.
There is no requirement for deserving love, or feeling happy. You can have both for free, you DESERVE both for free. But if you want specific reasons, you'll have to figure that out for yourself, because I know nothing about you outside of what you draw and what your computer set up looks like. All I know is that you want help to see your worth, and struggle to believe it's there at all, but you have yet to give any ACTUAL reasons yet as to why you're worthless, because "my art isn't that good" is not a valid excuse. And again, you shouldn't have to make some big contributions to be a person worth loving.

Kinda hard to show you something when the only means of communication on this site is text, but...
Buddy. Pal. Friend.
Fourteen years worth of creation. Five hundred and forty six individual artworks and images of your work for people to enjoy. One hundred and thirty one thousand people viewing your page because they thought your work was interesting enough to look at.
Even without the self-worth that comes with it, you've spent so much time growing and refining your craft. Hell, this very image is proof of that. The ethereal lighting, the multiple reflections, the subtle expression and posing choice displaying a vivid feeling of self-reflection and contemplation.
You're worth more than your art. The emotion behind it, whether solemn like this or raunchy desire as shown in your other works, they're a direct window into your mind. A depiction of what you were thinking at the time, laid out beautifully in 3d space for your followers to view and appreciate.
The fact you have such a massive following is testament to this, as you clearly have ideas that people want to see. Sure, your friends may move away and you won't be able to physically communicate with them, but that doesn't stop them from being your friends. You still have discord, or mobile, or any other reliable communication through technology. Sure, it's hard. I know this from my own experience too. When my group of like-minded freaks in high school disbanded after graduation, it hurt. A lot. But I at least kept my best friends' contacts in my pocket and the experiences I shared with them in my heart.
And yeah, people forgetting your birthday is miserable. Had that happen to me too, and I was BITTER about it. I don't blame you for being the same way. It absolutely sucks.
But... that doesn't mean that you can't still have a good time by yourself, doing things you wanted to do. And at the end of the day...? Your friends are still there, just a little busy. Society forces them to leave whoever they wanted to hang out with to do work. It's not your fault that they couldn't be there.
And... well, I can say that your concerns about 'popular artists' are... entirely up to imposter syndrome. You ARE a popular artist. You ARE someone who people care about.
You are worth everything people say you are. You may not feel like it, but it's the truth. We're all rooting for you.
