A word on my lack of activity here lately. I meant to resume posting personal art on this account after I switched over from twitter, but I've been recently avoiding social media almost completely except for posting on my commission accounts. (1/5)

If you've recently followed or having been sticking around for some time, I appreciate your interest. I hope to be back sooner than later. (5/5)

For this reason, I'm actively working towards getting to a point where I'm able to use social media to share my personal work in a healthy way, but I've got a ways to go and will likely remain fairly inactive across all my personal accounts for a while. (4/5)

It's actually driven me to stop sharing my work anywhere except to a couple close friends, which is fine for now but isn't really ideal for the longterm. I believe creative works are meant to be shared, and there's a lot of value and growth and community to be enjoyed in doing so. (3/5)

Reason is that social media has been having a very negative effect on my artistic mental health and creativity, as I tend to start focusing far too much on other people's opinions of my work rather than making art simply because it allows me to express myself and brings me fulfillment. (2/5)
