Constantly covered in pencil shavings..

This website as a whole is just not enjoyable for me anymore because it’s so filled to the brim with negativity and unhealthy posts. I see posts like that waaay more than happy or positive ones every day. And yeah, I know there are serious problems that people on that website are trying to address, and I’m not trying to be oblivious or put my head in the sand, but seeing so much negativity, hatred, and heated debates every day even when I’m not even REMOTELY looking that stuff up, it’s really wearing me down and having a bad mental effect on me. Ever since I’ve been on here, I’ve been more of a negative person. I’ve become very anxious and I have trust issues. I don’t talk about it on here as much because I’m embarrassed about talking about that kind of stuff publicly, and I really don’t want to contribute to the negativity. Bottom line is, this website is just a constant cycle of negativity and drama. Also, I’ve said this before, this website is TERRIBLE for uploading art. The reason why I even made an account on here was to show my art to others. I know that it’s wrong to expect your art to get a phenomenal amount of likes/notes, and I never really did expect my art to get passed 100 notes. But as of late, a lot of the art I upload barely even gets 10 notes. They only even get notes nowadays if it’s fanart from a popular fan base, a meme, or if I reblog if repeatedly. Original art barely gets squat compared to what popular fandom art gets on here. I’ve been working really hard to draw/create more original stuff lately. I’m always usually proud of the original drawings I make because I put even more time and effort into those. And when I post my original art on there, most of the time it gets close to zero notes. That can be really heartbreaking at times. Those are my reasons for wanting to leave. Part of me is sad for wanting to do this because I’m going to miss some people I’ve befriended on here, you guys were honestly why I’ve stayed for a while longer. But I really need to take better care of my mental health, which is why I need to separate myself from tumblr. I’m not deleting my blog, or any other side blog I’ve made because I’ve posted some art and different posts hat I’m really proud of that I’d hate to see get lost. Before I leave, I’m going to upload some art I finished over the weekend, and then that will be it from me. I’m sorry to do this, and I really hope you guys understand. Goodbye.
