the good thing about always being a small creator is that over the years i have cultivated a strong enough sense of self that i don't equate liked+reblogs with the quality of my art.
This means that if i post something i rly like and it gets 5 likes, i just shrug and move on. I enjoyed making it and i like it, so thats enough.
It also means that if something i think is kinda mid gets 100+ likes, i sit there like "the people are wrong. it's not worth that many likes".
